KALIWA’T kanan ang galit na reaksyon ng local residents ng Siargao kay Yeng Constantino dahil sa post niya sa kanyang Instagram at YouTube tungkol sa kakulangan ng medical equipments sa Dapa Siargao Hospital.
Hindi nagustuhan ng mga residente roon ang pagtalak ni Yeng tungkol sa attending physician at operator ng X-Ray machine ng ospital. Bukod dito, kinondena rin ng publiko ang pagkuha ng Rockstar Diva ng mga litrato ng medical staff ng nasabing hospital.
Nakasaad sa batas na bawal kumuha ng mga larawan sa loob ng ospital o ang pagpo-post nito sa social media, lalo na kung nakasasama, dahil puwedeng kasuhan ng Cyber bullying ang lalabag dito.
Binasa namin ang lahat ng reaksyon ng netizens at hati naman ang opinyon nila dahil may mga nagtatanggol din sa mag-asawang Yeng at Yan Asuncion. Normal na mag-panic ang mang-aawit dahil naaksidente ang asawa niya bukod pa sa wala silang kakilala roon.
Ang ikinaganda ng pagtalak ni Yeng, nakakuha ito ng pansin mula kay 1st District Representative Bingo Matugas ng Surigao del Norte (Siargao) at siya mismo ang humingi ng dispensa sa mang-aawit sa kakulangan ng emergency equipments sa Dapa Surigao Hospital.
Ni-repost ni Yeng ang post ni Congressman Bingo:
“We are deeply saddened by the unfortunate incident experienced by Mr. Yan Asuncion, Ms. Yeng Constantino’s husband. We continue to pray for the full recovery of Mr. Asuncion and we thank Ms. Yeng for bringing to our attention the matters that apparently still need to be addressed as regards Siargao’s response to emergencies. The public may rest assured that the Provincial Government, the local executives, health and tourism officials and this representation have been taking steps to make Siargao as safe a destination as it is beautiful and fun.
“Even before the emergencies that involved the loved ones of some of the country’s prominent personalities, we have sought legislation that would lift the status of the institution in question, the Siargao District Hospital, in the Municipality of Dapa, into a Level 2 hospital with more equipment and beds—one with 100 rooms from the current 15. Upgrading the hospital will also address the hospital’s biggest concern, the lack of personnel and manpower, including doctors, nurses, technicians and janitors, as it is going to be entitled to a budget directly from the National Government.
“Recently, more ambulances have been deployed for residents as well as tourists in Siargao and nearby areas. Trainings particularly on the management of trauma patients and pre-hospital care of trauma cases are being conducted by the Provincial Health Office while Basic Life Support Trainings for responders of hotels, boatmen, surfing instructors are also ongoing.
“On the part of this representation, our mandate is to pass legislation and request funds for inclusion in the yearly budget. Unfortunately, budgets, like any government programs and projects just do not happen overnight, they take considerable time and process.
“Again, we thank Ms. Yeng for citing the quick response of boatmen and ambulance personnel to Yan’s condition and the helpfulness of Siargao’s emergency personnel. We also agree with her observation that as Siargao draws tourists from around the world, its emergency capabilities should improve correspondingly. Its local authorities and this representation are and have long been taking steps towards that end.
Thank you very much and God bless Siargao Island.”
Kaalinsunod nito ay ipinost din ni Congressman Bingo sa Facebook page niya ang House Bill 1996 na ang caption ay, “This is the 18th Congress version of the bill. This was first filed during the 17th Congress.”
Hayan, may sagot naman pala kaagad ang local official ng nasabing lalawigan.
Samantala, nitong Linggo, ‘tila dinepensahan din ni Congressman Matugas ang attending physician na umano’y biktima ni Yeng sa kanyang mapangahas na post.
“Ms. Constantino might not have liked how Dr. Tan responded to her or interacted with her during their stay in the hospital. This does not mean, however, that she did not do her job. This is also not a justification for shaming the good doctor online. There is a proper forum for that.
“This is a good time to remind everyone that any public and malicious imputation of a crime, vice or defect, whether it is real or not, as long as it tends to to cause dishonor, discredit or contempt against a person is considered libel.”
