ROXAS CITY, Capiz— While the provincial government of Capiz is squabbling over the supplemental budget intended for the purchase of medical oxygen at the Roxas Memorial Provincial Hospital (RMPH), the city government of Roxas is set to purchase additional oxygen supply to be distributed to the different barangays.

Roxas City Mayor Ronnie Dadivas recently conducted an inventory on the available medical grade oxygen stock in different barangays.

“Ang mga Barangay may ara naman available nga oxygen tanks nga aton advance nga guinpa-preparar sa ila sang nagligad nga mga binulan,” Dadivas said.

The city has available oxygen tanks and is set to purchase more in preparation for emergency, especially for COVID patients.

“I don’t want my constituents to die due to lack of oxygen,” Dadivas said.

The oxygen stocks are for COVID-19 Patients of Roxas City who are confined to RMPH (Mild, Moderate to Severe Cases), and COVID-19 patients under home quarantine.
