A PRIMARY health care facility with a 150-bed capacity is set to be constructed on a 6,000 square meter lot in Barangay Poblacion, City of Naga, southern Cebu by the end of 2024.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the facility was held on Thursday, July 27, 2023 at the Naga City Reclamation Area.

Mayor Valdemar Chiong told SunStar Cebu on July 27 that the facility’s projected cost would be P350 million.

Chiong said that the total budget for the new health center has been approved through a loan by the Development Bank of the Philippines.

He explained that this new facility is expected to provide improved healthcare services to the city’s constituents.

Chiong said that the office of Senator Francis Tolentino had also transferred P50 million through theC Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to begin the first phase of the construction.

The mayor did not give any comments when asked about the medical care that the new institution will offer to the residents.

He emphasized that the city is currently focusing on the construction of the facility.

Although the clinic would accept patients from nearby municipalities, Chiong said locals will be given preference. (AML, TPT)

MOBILE China reported early June 2023, the leaked configuration information of a domestic Android flagship phone.

According to the report, the Vivo X100 Series could be the brand’s next-generation flagship model with high configuration.

Based on the rumors, Vivo X100 would be powered by the third-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Generation 3, offering up to 16GB of operating memory and 1TB of onboard storage.

The phone is also expected to have a high-quality flex-curved screen with 2K resolution. At the same time, the rear imaging system will feature a powerful ultra-high-pixel, large-bottomed periscope telephoto lens.

Vivo X100 was also tipped to be equipped with an ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint unlock module and a one-inch newly coated glass-plastic hybrid primary camera.

What’s more is that it is expected to have a built-in high-capacity battery, which is supported by up to 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Since Vivo released the Vivo X90S in June 2023, many are expecting that the arrival of the next X Series model may take a little longer.

With the leaked news, it is clear that the highest-positioned Vivo X100 Pro+ in the brand’s X100 Series is estimated to debut in early 2024.

Meanwhile, the lower-positioned Vivo X100 Pro and Vivo X100 Standard Edition are confirmed to launch by the end of the year.
