Issuing a public apology, the country’s leading research and laboratory agency on COVID-19 said Friday that ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Eric Go Yap is not infected with the disease, as it earlier claimed.

“We wish to publicly apologize to Cong. Eric Go Yap of ACT-CIS Party-list for forwarding a report of his COVID-19 results that displayed a clerical oversight,” the Department of Health-Research Institute for Tropical Medicine wrote in a Facebook post , a copy of which was sent to the neophyte solon.Yap, chairman of the House committee on appropriations, admitted on Wednesday that the results of his COVID-19 test released by the DOH-RITM indicated he had caught the disease.

These included a Malacañang meeting on March 21 that was attended by key Congress and executive officials, the special session of Congress on March 23, and a committee hearing on March 11. The DOH-RITM social media declaration was posted by Yap’s office on the Viber thread created by ACT-CIS Party-list for reporters covering the Lower House.

“We maintain that our testing process is compliant with the World Health Organization protocol, and that our results remain accurate despite this incident. The polymerase chain reaction testing procedure still stands as the gold standard in detecting the genetic sequence of the SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19,” the agency said.

Ambilis umapela ng palasyo, pero ang problema with koko tikom bibig pa rin. Our govt only lives for the rich and the famous and the powerful. So tayong simpleng mamamayan lang, bayad bayad lang ng tax para sa kanila.Pagod nako maging taga Pilipinas.Depressing

Hays sori for the word pero parang gingago nio lng ang tao.

Pati ba naman ito, kailangan pang “lutuin” ?

Encoding error po? How sure are you sa other results po? Does it mean you have to check everyone na natest nyo again?

Antonio “Tonypet” Albano said he underwent “serious self-isolation again for 14 days,” because he had been in contact with Act-CIS Partylist Rep. Eric Yap, who had tested positive for COVID-19. Being in contact does not warrant test. You people are part of the problem. Tangina kala ko yan yung Tonypet na nagddrawing sa Art Angel sa GMA dati.
