The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Thursday turned over two of six emergency quarantine facilities (EQFs) completed by its engineering units to Tondo High School in Manila.
In a press statement, Navy Capt. Jonathan Zata said the two EQFs have a 44-bed capacity and will accommodate suspect and probable coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) patients.
AFP Chief-of-Staff, Gen. Felimon T. Santos and Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso graced the turnover ceremony along with William Ti Jr. of the WTA Architecture + Designs Studio who leads the EQF project.
Also present were Dr. Patrick Gitonga of the Samaritan’s Purse who partnered with WTA for the EQF project and school principal Sonny Valenzuela.
“It is the AFP’s great hope that these newly constructed Emergency Quarantine Facilities here in Tondo shall serve its purpose of aiding hospitals to accommodate the increasing number of suspected and probable Covid-19 cases,” Santos said.
The facilities were built through the efforts of the AFP Office of The Chief Engineer led by Maj. Gen. William Ilagan and the 51st Engineering Brigade commanded by Brig, Gen. Emmanuel Anthony Ramos.
Other completed EQFs were located at the Batangas Healthcare Specialist Medical Center; The Medical City, Batangas; Perpetual Help Las Piñas; and Caloocan City North Medical Center.
Each EQF was built by 20 soldiers within five to six days using power tools and around four truckloads of materials. Meanwhile, the sites for completion are in Novaliches District Hospital, Quezon City; Rosario Maclang Bautista General Hospital, Quezon City; two in Barangay Sucat, Parañaque; and two in Taguig-Pateros District Hospital.
Previously, 78 EQFs were completed by AFP in partnership with various organizations.
Under the WTA project, 10 were built by all-soldier construction teams while 52 were constructed by composite military and civilian teams.
A total of 10 were completed under the San Miguel Foundations Projects; one was made possible in partnership with a generous group from Davao; two were built in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City; and three were constructed under the AFP Health Service Command initiative.
“With the aid of the ingenious creations of professionals from the private sector, your soldiers will continue to fulfill their duty to the state and the citizens amidst this war against an unseen enemy,” Santos said.
