OVP’s 10th dorm opens for COVID-19 frontliners
The Office of the Vice President (OVP), through its Angat Buhay program, has opened 14 free dormitories in Metro Manila, Luzon, and the Visayas for frontliners responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
These dormitories are available to medical professionals, non-medical frontliners such as security guards and janitors, and volunteers involved in containing the spread of the virus.
The service operates on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited bed capacity and the need to maintain physical distancing.
Currently, 10 of these OVP-managed dormitories are situated near various hospitals in Metro Manila, with specific locations detailed for frontliners' convenience.
The newest dormitory in Paco, Manila is accessible to the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), Manila Doctors Hospital, and ManilaMed-Medical Center Manila.
Those interested can apply through the OVP's official Facebook account, VP Leni Robredo, or send a message via ovpfreedormservice@gmail.com or 0998-5917408.
