A wave of mixed reactions has followed statements made by Board Member Lorenzo Zuniga on social media, where he alleged that Governor Sol Aragones was discrediting former Laguna Governor, now Congressman Ramil Hernandez, in connection with the long-delayed Laguna Medical Center project.


The controversy comes amid renewed attention on the province’s healthcare infrastructure after the announcement titled, “DPWH Chief Orders Urgent Fix for Laguna Hospitals, Vows Completion of Long-Stalled Medical Center.” The development highlighted the government’s push to address long-standing deficiencies in Laguna’s hospital facilities.


Accompanied by Laguna Governor Sol Aragones, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon personally inspected the unfinished Laguna Medical Center building, which has remained incomplete for over five years, along with the deteriorating conditions of the Luisiana District Hospital.


The inspection aimed to confront persistent infrastructure gaps in the province’s healthcare system, including inadequate hospital buildings, limited treatment facilities, and insufficient services that have long burdened residents.
During the visit, Governor Aragones, together with Mayor Jomapher Uy Alvarez, brought the DPWH chief to the Luisiana District Hospital to directly assess its worsening condition—emphasizing the urgency of immediate government intervention.


Secretary Dizon assured the public that rehabilitation efforts and construction activities, including the long-overdue completion of the Laguna Medical Center, are set to begin within the year.


However, Zuniga criticized the narrative, claiming that the project should be attributed not to former Governor Hernandez but to Congressman Agarao, an ally of Governor Aragones.
The issue quickly gained traction online, with several netizens weighing in:


1. “bakit kasi nakatiwang-wang yan..haha Kung di pa napalitan di pa maayos…”
2. “Wala naman binanggit na pangalan Tumilaok agad ehh”
3. “Bat parang nagagalit kayo wala namang binanggit si Gob Sol na pangalan ni Cong Ramil, Defensive yarn”
4. “Sa halip na makipagtulungan na lamang bakit panay paninira ang ginagawa mo Zumiga”
5. “Bakit po BOKAL Zuniga hindi nyo man lang nakita o isa sa kumilos para maayos ang Laguna Medical Hospital, kayo po naman ang mas matagal ng nakaupo, ano po ba ang ginawa niyong hakbang?”


Despite the criticisms, Governor Aragones has chosen to remain unfazed, focusing instead on strengthening healthcare initiatives across the province.


The provincial government reaffirmed its commitment to expanding medical services and infrastructure, particularly the Laguna Medical Center project, in coordination with the DPWH.

During Secretary Dizon’s visit, plans for a four-story hospital building were reinforced, aligned with the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to improve public health infrastructure nationwide.


Among the flagship health programs being intensified is the expansion of the “Akay ni Gob Botika,” now reaching 24 municipalities and 6 cities, aimed at improving access to maintenance medicines through community-based distribution points.


The province also continues its free anti-rabies vaccination program at the barangay level, in partnership with local government units, to strengthen public health protection against rabies.


Meanwhile, the “Doctor sa Barangay” program remains active, delivering medical consultations and basic healthcare services directly to communities—helping reduce congestion in major hospitals and ensuring early access to treatment.


According to the provincial government, these initiatives form part of a broader strategy to expand healthcare access, strengthen preventive care, and modernize medical facilities—ensuring more sustainable and responsive health services for the people of Laguna.
