Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go appealed on April 9 that a one-time financial assistance be granted to provincial local government units (PLGUs) for them to weather the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak.

Go made the appeal after the national government had announced that it would grant a one-time ‘Bayanihan’ financial assistance to cities and municipalities equivalent to their one-month Internal Revenue Allotment .

More importantly, Go said that PLGUs ensure the readiness of their respective provincial hospitals to handle the COVID-19 health emergency. Go reasoned out that “even an amount equivalent to half of a PLGU’s one-month IRA” could go a long way in enhancing the capabilities of provinces to respond to the crisis, especially in equipping their provincial hospitals amid the growing number of patients in their localities.

The letter further explained that provincial governments, as the highest form of government in the sub-national level, play a vital role in the COVID-19 situation as managers of the health care provider networks, according to the Universal Health Care Law.
