Rep. Albano, as PRC-Isabela Chapter chairman, expressed his gratitude to Senator Richard Gordon, PRC National Chairman, for donating the laboratory equipment to be used once the building is completed.
He also thanked Governor “Rodito” Albano for the lot and building donation.
“This will be the first-ever PRC Molecular Laboratory to rise in Cagayan Valley, aimed to expand the testing capacity for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the region, “Albano stressed.
“Apart from being a COVID-19 testing facility, the lab will provide the blood bank services that is needed by our province. It will also help the disaster relief operations in cases of emergencies and calamities that hopefully will not be hazardous for the province,” he added.
