“Dili nato matagna ang panahon kung kanus-a ang isa ka
indibidwal maaksidente o mataptan sa sakit nga COVID-19. Ug kabalo naman ta nga
uban aning mga aksidente ang gastos sa pagpaospital nga hangtud karun gapadayon
nga gamahal busa nanghinaot kami nga kani among inisyatiba mahimong tulay aron
matabagangan atong mga igsoong Bisaya [We cannot tell when an accident will
happen nor can we predict when one will catch COVID-19. As we are all aware of,
accidents and illneses accompany hospitalization expenses and fees, which are
becoming more expensive today. So, we hope that with this initiative we will be
able to help our fellow Bisayas],” BG President Vitorino Garay stressed in a
message.
