Nagkausap na si Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong at ang head ng produksiyon ni Arjo Atayde na Feelmaking Productions na si Ellen Criste tungkol sa sinasabing lumabag sila sa health protocol na ipinatutupad ng gobyerno.
Sa pamamagitan ni Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) Chairperson Liza Diño na nangangasiwa sa mga polisiya tungkol sa safety protocol concerning sa movie at audiovisual industry, nagkaroon ng paglilinaw sa magkabilang kampo na walang nilabag ang Feelmaking Productions, partikular si Arjo, na naunang bumaba ng Maynila para dumiretso sa hospital dahil nagpositibo siya sa COVID-19.
Ito rin ang paliwanag ng attending physician ni Arjo na si Dra. Claudette Guzman Mangahas na walang nilabag ang pasyente niya na taliwas sa panayam ni Mayor Magalong sa Regional News Group-Luzon nitong Agosto 17.
Sa panayam kay Dra. Claudette, “In the same way that emergency care personnel in an ambulance would accompany a COVID patient in PPE (personal protective equipment), I was also very clear with my instructions - and which they carefully followed - to have Arjo in the back of the car alone, his companions in front of the car, with all of them wearing masks with no removal and all the windows open, driving strictly from Baguio straight to our hospital.
"It is impossible for any doctor of any COVID patient to go ahead with decisions without considering the family because this really imposes a traumatic situation on everyone.
“On a personal note, Sylvia (Sanchez) and Art Atayde (mga magulang ni Arjo) both had COVID last March 2020, and Sylvia even suffered from complications of the medications.”
Sa panahong 'yun ay nagdelikado ang buhay ng aktres dahil nakaramdam ito ng heart block.
“COVID was a real scare for them, especially with the thought of leaving behind four children with their youngest only at 10 years old at that time if one of them didn't survive the virus.
"By then, Arjo was already experiencing difficulty in breathing besides fever and body malaise.
"I talked to Sylvia and told her she had two options: the first was a work up and possible admission at a Baguio hospital or a transfer to Manila for work up and possible admission, with the provisions I indicated earlier.
“She chose the second one because of his preexisting conditions of chronic sinusitis and asthma and her fear that should Arjo become critical, he is so far away and she wouldn't personally know the physician who will treat him.
“Please understand that (Sylvia) only acted as a mother in her decision. Having suffered from COVID themselves, they are the last persons who would wish that others will go through the same experience. So clearly, there was no intention to breach any protocol, and more so expose others to COVID.”
Naniniwala rin si Dra. Mangahas na kung hindi kilala si Arjo ay tiyak na walang kukuwestiyon sa naging desisyon ng pamilyang pauwiin ito ng Maynila.
"We had a patient recently flown in from Laoag to receive treatment here and there were no allegations regarding breach of protocols,” diin ng attending physician ni Arjo.
At dahil nagkaliwanagan na si Mayor Magalong at ang Feelmaking Production head ay anumang oras, makakabalik muli sila sa Baguio para tapusin ang ilang araw nilang shooting basta’t negatibo na silang lahat at magaling na si Arjo.
Pinatotohanan naman ito ni Ms. Liza Diño nu’ng tanungin namin kung okay na silang mag-shoot ulit.
“Yes, ok na. If they want to finish the films, he (Mayor Magalong) will allow,” aniya.
Pero siyempre, kailangang magpa-RT-PCR test ulit ang buong team para safe makaikot sa siyudad.
Mula sa BULGAR ay hiling namin ang agarang paggaling ni Arjo Atayde at ng kanyang mga kasamahan.
