PLO says news re Guv catching Covid is fake

Provincial Legal Officer (PLO) Nilo Ahat slammed reports that Gov. Arthur Yap caught the Coronavirus disease (Covid) and dismissed it as “fake news”.

Ahat gave the statement during a radio interview over Open Forum radio program on Sept. 14, 2021 hosted by Ardy Araneta-Batoy and Dave Albarado.

He said that the governor had a negative real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) result upon arrival in Bohol from Manila. 

“Dili maksulod ang atong gobernador sa Bohol kun dili negative, kay mao mam ang requirement. So sanglit nakasulod siya adtong Sabado, naka report sa trabaho sa Lunes, gahapon ug karon, meaning negatibo ang atong gobernador. Dili na tinuod nga positive [siya sa Covid],” Ahat said.

He then went on to read a prepared statement of the governor saying,”Pinaagi sa Grasya gikan sa Labawng Makagagahum, nagpabiling baskog ug lagsik ang atong panglawas. Nag negatibo ang akong RT-PCR Test niadtong Sabado.

Kagahapon, nagtrabaho ta diin atong gikahimamat ang mga Brgy Kapitanes sa CPG ug Loboc. Ako usab gipangunahan ang BIATF [Bohol Inter Agency Task Force] Zoom Meeting kagahapon sa palis. Magpadayon ako sa pagtrabaho karong adlawa. Uban sa panalangin ug proteksyon sa Ginoo, motrabaho kita kada adlaw ug maningkamot kutob sa atong makaya nga mapanalipdan ang katawhang Bol-anon. Likayan nato ang fake news ug magpabilin kitang luwas kanunay.”

Ahat said that the release of the fake news may be related to politics as the filing of Certificates of Candidacy (CoC) draws near.

The issue stems from news circulating in various platforms and even in media circles in Cebu where it was reported that allegedly the governor caught the virus.
