Pero kung libre naman ang testing, lahat ‘yan kusang-loob na magpapa-test (That is the result of the lack of free testing, excuses will be made. But if tests are free, all of them will willingly get tested),” Garbin said in his statement. The congressman said the government could make use of its revenues from offshore gaming operations and other collections by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) for the provision of free reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests to PUV drivers and passengers.
