Fresh from her disaster relief operations in the Visayas and Mindanao region, presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo revisited her office’s pandemic response initiatives last year.

The Vice President, who is under quarantine after being exposed to a close-in security who tested positive to COVID-19, was not in her weekly radio show over dzXL.

“Batid ng Tanggapan ni VP Leni ang mga hamong kaakibat ng krisis na ito, kaya agad itong kumilos para matugunan ang pangangailangan at gumaang ang pasanin ng Pilipino ,” the video said.The Office of the Vice President understood that to control the spread of the virus, more testing needs to be done. This is why Robredo launched the Swab Cab project.

The OVP spent ₱11 million for 22,000 antigen test kits, which complemented the RT-PCR tests done on those who tested positive for the antigen tests.The initiative conducted 9,757 tests in hotspots such as Malabon, Quezon City, Marikina City, Imus, Tuguegarao, and Naga. Robredo brought the initiative to Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental; Iriga and Naga, Camarines Sur; San Pedro, Laguna; Magalang and San Fernando City, Pampanga; Capas, Tarlac; Malolos, Bulacan; Mariveles, Bataan; Catanduanes; and Manila, Pasig, and Quezon City.The OVP partnered with local governments to access its supply of vaccines.During the outbreak in April last year, Robredo also launched the Bayanihan E-Konsulta, a free telemedicine program that helped indigent and vulnerable families.
