ANGELES CITY\u2013A top official from this city asked Pampanga First District Representative Carmelo \u201cTarzan\u201d Lazatin not to \u201cpolitically exploit sick people.\u201d
\nCity Administrator Dennis Albert Pamintuan was referring to the case of Ronalyn Dayrit, a former patient at the Rafael Lazatin Memorial Medical Center (RLMMC), whom the Lazatin camp said was not given discount despite a guarantee letter from the solon.
\n\u201cCongressman Lazatin need not exploit the sick. There is no need for a guarantee letter from him. The city government took care of Ms. Dayrit. Because she is classified as an indigent, we gave her a hefty discount,\u201d Pamintuan said.
\nAccording to records of the RLMMC (formerly Ospital Ning Angeles), Dayrit only paid P500 out of her total bill of P4,877.
\n\u201cFor us, the important thing is, the patient was given all the assistance she needed whether it came from this administration or from Lazatin\u2019s camp,\u201d Pamintuan said.
\nPamintuan added that they did not utilize the P500,000 pork barrel of Congressman Lazatin allocated for RLMMC because there was no memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the solon and the city government.
\n\u201cWe did not touch the P500,000 allocation from Lazatin\u2019s pork barrel supposedly for [RLMMC] because there was no MOA between him and city hall for the disposition of the funds. Technically, we can use the funds without Lazatin\u2019s go signal, but we wanted clear cut guidelines for its use,\u201d he said.
\nPamintuan admitted Lazatin wrote the city government on July 24, 2012 informing of the issuance of a notice of cash allocation (NCA) in the name of the city government.
\n\u201cI personally informed Lazatin\u2019s staff that they should prepare a MOA covering the use of the allocation,\u201d Pamintuan recalled adding that, \u201cNo one pursued it on their part. Now they are making a big issue out of it.\u201d
\nAccording to him, the city accountant also raised the need of a MOA for the liquidation of the funds.
\n\u201cIt is quite clear that Lazatin and his ilk are exploiting every opportunity to score political points. However, this is again a cheap shot, as most of their accusations against the administration of Mayor Pamintuan,\u201d Pamintuan said.
\nHowever, Lazatin\u2019s Chief of Staff Calaguas said Pamintuan\u2019s statement is \u201cillogical.\u201d
\n\u201cWhy would you ask the patient to pay P3,000 if, in the first place, the patient was presenting a guarantee letter which seeks to pay for the entire hospital bill?\u201d Calaguas asked, \u201cWhat kind of public service is that?\u201d
\n\u201cThe point here is they refused the guarantee letter that will pay for the entire bill of P4,877 and instead asked an indigent patient to pay P500, as claimed by Atty. Pamintuan. Regardless of the discount they gave her, for an indigent patient, the difference between having your entire hospital bill lifted and having to pay P500 is very big.\u201d
\nCalaguas added that the patient paid P3,000 and not P500.
\nThe Lazatin camp said that they forwarded a letter dated July 24, 2012 to the office of Mayor Pamintuan which not only included details on the issuance of an NCA but also asked the Office of the Mayor for a checklist of requirements for the MOA signing.
\nA member of Lazatin\u2019s staff coordinated last July with RLMMC Director Dr. Antonio Dizon and submitted a copy of the MOA, however, the staff was informed by Dr. Dizon that the MOA must be signed by Mayor Pamintuan. Lazatin\u2019s office then decided to write a formal letter to the mayor but never received a reply.
\n\u201cIf they\u2019re talking about public service, then with or without MOA they should accept the guarantee letter because the P500,000 fund from Congressman Lazatin\u2019s Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) is already credited on the account of the Angeles City Government,\u201d Calaguas said.
