ASEAN Best Director for 2015 reacts on the expensive, still unfinished Marinduque Provincial Hospital that has been under construction for 11 years now:
"I hope this isn't true: P200 million already spent for the still unfinished new building of the Marinduque Provincial Hospital and P20 million more just for a ramp and an atrium. How many years has it been since this construction started? A decade? With this price tag, the province should have one of the best hospitals in the country by now. But it doesn't. The local government should properly account for this.
"My mom is turning 60 next month and she has to travel almost every month to Manila for her medical check up because we don't have the proper facilities in the province. So yes, this is personal." - JOSEPH ISRAEL LABAN

Ang usapin sa itaas ay kasama sa mga bagay na pinagtuunan ng pansin ni Bokal Adeline Lyn Angeles sa kanyang fb post kamakailan tungkol sa pagpigil ng Sangguniang Panlalawigan sa kanyang privilege speech tungkol sa P300-million loan ng provincial government ng Marinduque sa DBP. Isa lamang sa mga sinabi ni Angeles:
"Bakit sa dami ng pangangailangan ng HOSPITAL, kailangang unahin sa loan ang 15M para sa DOCTORS' DORMITORY?
"Halos 200M piso na ang nagastos sa 3 bagong building ng hospital. Dahil walang RAMPA, humingi at nag-appropriate pa ang Sangg. Panlalawigan ng around 20M piso pa para sa RAMPA at atrium lamang connecting the 3 buildings. Ngayon naman kasama sa a-utangin ay 15 M piso PARA LAMANG SA TIRAHAN NG MGA DOCTOR? Ito ba talaga ang dapat unahin sa utangin?" - ADELINE ANGELES
