MALAPASCUA HOSPITAL: 1/2 million Pesos rotting in the ground

MALAPSCUA HOSPITAL: 1/2 million Pesos rotting in the ground

“Welcome to the PHILIPPINES”, that’s what a Doctor from University Cebu answered when he got notice from the story of the proposed HOSPITAL MALAPASCUA and had seen the newest sad dramatic pictures/fotos of that place.

This is the place sponsored 2007 from "MANGROVE ORIENTAL RESORT" for our new HOSPITAL

Down deep in the middle of the island, near the local island power station (Diesel Generator giving electricity to Malapascua for 5 hours each day) one can find the place where the proposed and so badly needed new HOSPITAL for MALAPASCUA should have been build since more than 2 years. If one is not familiar with that place, you will never find it.






Just like searching in the jungle of YUCATAN for the old Maya Pyramides , we tried to find the MALAPASCUA HOSPITAL in Malapascua. Without the help of some local people (even most of them don’t know that place and where to find) we would have never found the Malapascua HOSPITAL.

It is so sad to see how the good will of some people and money gets wasted if you see that place. Deep in the high grass we found that place where thousands of construction materials are rotting and rusting in the sun and rain: Hollowblocks , Coco lumber, concrete mixer, steel trusses, steel frames, Grabba and more.

Coco lumber almost decayed

Construction steel frames already totaly corroded

• So WHO is responsible for this DRAMA ?
  1.) The local Barangay Hall and Barangay Captain?,
  2.) The Municiapility in Daan Bantayan and Mayor Sun Shimura?
  3.) The Governor from CEBU Gwen Garcia who took over the administration of Malapascua in her hands?
  
• Who is to blame?
  
• How many more islanders and foreigners and guests must die on Malapascua cause of NO DOCTOR and NO HOSPITAL considering the rapidly increasing TOURIST SPOT in the north of Cebu ?
  
• Why does no official takes care to start constructing the Hospital ?
  


• What about the DOT (Department of Tourism)?
  Only printing nice brochures but forget the urgent needed HOSPITAL?! DOT should always think of the welfare of all tourists going to MALAPASCUA, with the aim to sustain and preserve its reputation as a premier tourist destination ……….could it be possible ???? (isolated island with no doctor and no hospital!!)

Steel trusses (MALAPASCUA HOSPITAL) full of rust

cause of high humidity salty air. Nobody takes care to

prevent from rust, so in 1-2 years these trusses are not more than scrap.

A friend of mine answered to me: “Jake, don’t get angry, next year is election, you and the people of MALAPASCUA should make a better choice whom to give your vote to realize and resolve this problem".
