MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Monday sought for additional lines for the government\u2019s One Hospital Command Center (OHCC) following concerns that its direct lines have been difficult to reach.<\/p>\n

During his regular virtual presser, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque called the owners of PLDT Inc. and Globe Telecom Inc. to personally make the request for additional lines.<\/p>\n

Roque asked PLDT Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan and Globe Chief Operating Officer Fernando Zobel de Ayala if they could provide additional lines for OHCC.<\/p>\n

Zobel de Ayala vowed to assist the OHCC, saying he would get back to Roque regarding the requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many lines would you need? Can we have someone from Globe text you, Mr. Secretary? I\u2019ll have someone contact you right away. It depends on the requirement, but we\u2019ll do our best to assist you,\u201d Zobel de Ayala told Roque.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Pangilinan was quick to promise additional lines for OHCC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will do that right away,\u201d Pangilinan said.<\/p>\n

Roque then gave them the contact details of Health Undersecretary and Treatment Czar Leopoldo “Bong” Vega, who leads the One Hospital Command Center, for proper coordination.<\/p>\n

Prior to making the phone call, Roque asked Vega if additional lines would help the OHCC attend to callers\u2019 needs for efficiently.<\/p>\n

\u201cKailangan ba ho natin ng mas maraming linya para ngayon pa lang po sa<\/em>\u00a0press briefing\u00a0natin matawagan po natin si<\/em>\u00a0Mr. Pangilinan at Mr. Zobel (Do we need additional lines so that we can call Mr. Pangilinan and Mr. Zobel during our press briefing)?\u201d Roque asked Vega who he was speaking to via Zoom.<\/p>\n

Vega admitted that the OHCC\u2019s dedicated lines were difficult to access.<\/p>\n

\u201cTama ho \u2018yan<\/em>\u00a0Sec. Harry\u00a0kasi mahirap talaga kumuha ng linya ngayon. Ang ginagamit po namin yung mga<\/em>\u00a0cellphones\u00a0lang po. Pero kung may<\/em>\u00a0fixed lines\u00a0po, mas maganda<\/em>\u00a0(That\u2019s right, Sec. Harry because it\u2019s really difficult to get lines now. What we\u2019re using now are cellphones. But it would be better if we had fixed lines),\u201d Vega said.<\/p>\n

The OHCC is meant to provide coordinated care for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) patients, allowing for transfers, referrals, and to provide medical direction between hospitals.<\/p>\n

It is located at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Gymnasium in its headquarters in Guadalupe, Makati City.<\/p>\n

Currently, the center can be accessed by using the Pure Force Citizens application which can be downloaded in Google Play store and App Store for free.<\/p>\n

It can also be accessed by calling its dedicated lines: 02-886-505-00, 0915-777-7777 and 0919-977-3333 or through Quick Response (QR) codes that the public can scan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
