THE XAVIER University-Ateneo de Cagayan has inked a Memorandum of Agreement with the local government of Maramag in Bukidnon province for the use of its training center as an isolation facility.

The university’s Fr. Alingal Training Center will be the 6th isolation facility in the area. It will house returning residents and close contacts of Covid19 patients.

Dr. Evangeline Revilla, municipal health officer, said that setting up isolation facilities will help curb the spread of the coronavirus disease.

Fr. Mars Tan, university president, attended the MOA signing ceremony to personally express his support to the municipality’s efforts.

“I know that as a municipality or a city, you are in the frontline. That is why I really salute the mayor and all of you in your efforts to really address the concerns, the problems of the local people caused by the pandemic,” Tan said

“I would also like to say that I am honored to be part of your noble undertaking, because I know that this is really for the people. Xavier University would like to help together with you to address this problem of the pandemic,” he added.

Mayor Jose Joel Doromal expressed his gratitude for the assistance offered by the university.
