'''Angeles City isolation facility now empty'''<br>
'''Angara says no to NTF-ELCAC abolition'''<br>
ANGELES CITY, Pampanga – The isolation facility of the city government here inside the City College of Angeles (CCA) is now empty as coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases continue to drop. Reina Manuel, executive assistant IV of Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr., said on Thursday this is the only time for the facility to become empty since the pandemic began last year. Manuel is handling the operations and management at the isolation facility, together with City Health Officer Dr. Verona Guevarra. She said the last six patients housed at the facility were released Thursday after their negative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results for Covid-19 came out.
MANILA – Despite proposals to slash its budget for 2022, the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) has accomplished its mandate in implementing grassroots projects and helping stamp out insurgency in the countryside. Abolishing the NTF-ELCAC is uncalled for at the moment, according to Senator Sonny Angara on Friday. Vice President Leni Robredo is among the most vocal critics of the task force tasked to “provide an efficient mechanism and structure for the implementation of the whole-of-nation approach to aid in the realization of collective aspirations for inclusive and sustainable peace”.
