UP-PGH COVID 19 Bayanihan Na! Operations Center

“UP-PGH COVID 19 Bayanihan Na! Operations Center” has been established as a result of an agreement arrived at by UP System (Pres. Concepcion), UPManila (Chancellor Padilla) & PGH (Director Legaspi). This is in part the decision that will put together various “bayanihan” efforts among the UP Community all over the country, which will formalize the system and structure that will facilitate the University’s reception of support for its frontline workers. The Operations Center will mainly function as a “call center” where 20 PLDT lines will serve as “hotlines.” According to the Chancellor, acting as in-charge (Commander) of the Center, five (5) lines will receive communications pertaining to donations. While 15 lines will accommodate COVID-related queries and concerns from patients and the public as whole. The Center will be manned by volunteers in three shifts, and may be deployed 1 or 2 days a week, depending on the available volunteer workforce. Qualified and properly oriented (trained) volunteers will be tasked to answer calls and queries and some may be assigned to supervisory and other assignments within the Center. The work is a NO PATIENT CONTACT task, and will be situated in the PGH Nurses’ Home, some 400 meters from the hospital. Meals, transports and quarters (for those who will have night duties) will be provided by the Center. Other details will follow.
The UP Manila Chancellor, Dr. Carmencita Padilla, therefore is calling and appealing for faculty members, non-teaching staff and even students to volunteer for the Center. There will be screening though, primarily for “skills-matching” depending on the capabilities of the would be volunteers. Students who will be joining will have to seek consent from the Dean.
