Puyat made the remarks during the groundbreaking of the temporary Mega Field Hospital facility, which will be erected at the Burnham Green of Rizal Park in Manila City. The Board of Directors of the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC), an attached agency of the DOT, unanimously approved the proposal of Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso to build the temporary mobile hospital “in anticipation of a possible surge of COVID-19 cases.”
