ROXAS CITY, Capiz – Capiz Governor Fredenil “Oto” Castro collapsed during his lengthy speech marking his first 100 days in office on Monday afternoon, Oct 10, 2022, during the session of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP).
Monday’s speech was one of Castro’s first public engagements at the Capitol after being treated for a sciatic illness in September.
Before Monday, he had been working from the Governor’s Mansion.
Castro resumed his 2-hour speech after a brief rest.
According to Atty. Luvim Amores, spokesperson of the provincial government, the governor is now in good condition after he was checked by Dr. Alex Nolasco.

Castro also noted that Capiz was one of the two provinces in Western Visayas with lower number of COVID-19 cases.
He also announced that the long-awaited health facilities for the RMPH would soon be available as it is already included in the 2022 budget.
