GOVERNOR Amado I. Espino III is set to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Health-Center for Health Development-I (DOH CHD-I) for the transfer or sub-allotment of funds to Pangasinan Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory to augment the operations of the COVID-19 testing laboratories.
