The bungled project could have substantially increased the bed capacity of the BRHMC from the current 450 beds to 1,050. The BRHMC, which caters to an average of 492 outpatients and 66 patient admissions daily, is one of the most congested hospitals in the region. Documents obtained by Rappler showed that the contract agreement was signed on February 8, 2018, by Dr. Rogelio Rivera, who at the time served as the BRHMC chief, and NVCC managing head Vivian Llorando. The agreement outlined a 720-day work duration with a target completion date of December 25, 2020. Rivera has since retired from government service.
The DOH team said this resulted in an overpayment of P213.103 million, which further increased after the new RHMC chief, Dr. Raymond Raborar, who assumed office in May 2021, approved the release of the retention money, amounting to P31.788 million.
