Senator Nancy Binay (Senate of the Philippines / FILE PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) Binay said she considers the proposal as practical given the projected increases and the recent surge in COVID-19 cases that have already weakened the entire healthcare system and caused many hospitals in Metro Manila to reach full capacity. “I fully support the recommendation of the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) to convert select hotels into temporary hospital facilities for mild to moderate COVID positive patients,” Binay said in a statement. “Our health workers already feel overwhelmed and many facilities are already overly packed with people seeking immediate medical care,” she stressed.
