Without Senator Richard Gordon’s signature, the memorandum of agreement granting the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) free use of the lot where it put up last year its molecular laboratory for COVID-19 tests may not be valid.

Without Senator Richard Gordon’s signature, the memorandum of agreement granting the Philippine Red Cross free use of the lot where it put up last year its molecular laboratory for COVID-19 tests may not be valid.

The unsigned and unnotarized MOA was supposed to provide the PRC free use of a 4,000 square property at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga. The PRC has been occupying it since June, 2020 as the site of its Bio-Molecular Laboratory.COA noted that despite benefiting from the deal, the internaitonal humanitarian agency failed to reciprocate the generosity extended by the CIAC and the CDC, both state-owned firms.

COA did not specify what special privileges it had expected that the PRC should have extended to CIA and CDC, which are both subsidiaries of the Bases Conversion Development Authority under the Office of the President. The PRC put up a Bio-Molecular Laboratory at the CFZ last year. The laboratory is reportedly capable of processing up to 2,000 COVID-19 tests per day with its two Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction machines.
