“Little did I know na na-budgetan na at sana nga, dire-diretso (Little did I know that it had already been budgeted for, and hopefully, it continues without interruption),” Loyola said.

“Kaya tayo ay very thankful kasi napakalapit natin sa PGH at natutuwa ako, nagpo-progress pa, lalu’t higit, gagawin itong training hospital (That is why we are very thankful, because we are very close to the PGH, and I am happy that it is still progressing, especially since it will be made into a training hospital).”

Loyola mentioned a possible groundbreaking event for the project in June.
