THE HONORABLE FRANCIS JOSEPH G ESCUDERO

Governor of Sorsogon
Sorsogon City, Sorsogon

Dear GOVERNOR ESCUDERO:

Greetings and Peace in the risen Lord!

I am REV FR ROENGEN A JANABAN. I am one of the Priest-Chaplains of the Military

Ordinariate of the Philippines. Currently, I am admitted here in the AFP HEALTH
SERVICE COMMAND VICTORIANO LUNA MEDICAL CENTER, Camp Col Victoriano
K. Luna, V. Luna Ave., Quezon City. I am diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer
Stage 2 with Bone Metastasis. I am all alone here in the hospital due to the restrictions
of the ECQ policy. For a cancer patient, with all the procedures, tests and threat of the
COVID 19 it is very difficult to be alone. I also consider the grief and loneliness that this
situation of mine is affecting my family especially my mother.

With this situation of mine and for the operation I have been waiting for, may I humbly
ask the assistance of your good office dear Governor to please assist and
accommodate my mother MARIA VILLA A JANABAN (09950561619), resident of Brgy.
Bitan-o, Sorsogon City to at least reach the province of Laguna or any safe place near
Metro Manila so that she can reach me here in the hospital. My other brother priests will
be the one to fetch her and transfer here in V. Luna. Rest assured that my mother will
be safe here from COVID 19.

There is no amount of care that a mother can give to her sick son. No consoling comfort
can ease the troubled heart of a Mother to see and be with her only Son. I hope and
pray to God for your favourable response and I thank you for your kind attention. May
God bless you more dear Governor and may you help more people especially in this
time of pandemic.

Naghahagad po ako sin tabang asin naglalaom na matabangan. Dios Mabalos po

saindo Governor asin Salamatunon.

Sincerely yours,

REV FR ROENGEN A JANABAN
