Lacson Pushes More Random Checks vs Fake Ambulance Emergency Runs at Rush Hour

Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on Friday pushed for more random checks targeting fake emergency runs by ambulances especially at rush hour.

Lacson pointed out that such vehicles, which use loud sirens, are not only annoying but can be potential hazards to motorists and commuters.

“More random checks on siren-blaring ‘ambulances’ especially during rush hours should be conducted. Drivers of vehicles with no emergency patients must be apprehended, their licenses revoked and charged, if warranted. Aside from (being) annoying, they can be traffic hazards,” he said on X.

Ping, Idinetalye ang Overpriced Equipment sa Loob ng mga Nabiling Ambulansya ng DOH

Sa loob ng mga overpriced na ambulansya na binili ng Department of Health (DOH), ay may mga overpriced din na mga kagamitan tulad ng automated external defibrillators (AEDs), mobile phones, dashboard cameras at stretchers.

Isiniwalat ito ni Senador Ping Lacson nitong Miyerkules kasabay ng kanyang muling panawagan sa DOH na gamitin nang tapat at maayos ang kaban ng bayan.

“These are public funds. I augmented the budget of the Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP) to comply with the Universal Health Care Law. Somehow I feel guilty when I see overpricing,” ani Lacson sa pagdinig ng Senado sa panukalang badyet ng DOH para sa 2022.

Ping kay Duque: Lansagin ang Sindikato sa Overpriced Ambulance

Parang bulang naglaho buhat sa kaban ng pamahalaan ang P841 milyon bunga ng sagana sa tongpats na mga ambulansiyang binili ng Department of Health (DOH) na overpriced ng P1 milyon bawa’t isa.

Ito ang binanggit ni Senador Lacson nitong Biyernes sa pagpapatuloy ng pagdinig ng Senado sa mga katiwaliang may kaugnayan sa pagtugon ng pamahalaan sa COVID-19 pandemic.

Ayon kay Lacson, ang nabanggit na overpricing ay maaring kagagawan ng sindikato na matagal nang namamahay sa DOH kaya sinabihan ng mambabatas si Secretary Francisco Duque III na lansagin na ito.
