Vic Cabatbat also manages and runs a heavy-equipment rental business, says that long lines and queues could actually be harmful and could be a waste for economic resources and also effort and time.
The app will at least let us know when to set an appointment, allowing us to do other things before or after to maximize our time in the city,” Cabatbat said.
Sankigay adds that it’s a simple and a single application; all we need to do is to sign-up as a patient or as a doctor. Then, it’ll automatically be transmitted to the system, just like social media. Since he also owns a small hospital in Maguindanao, he knows the hassle and pressure of waiting in long lines and with the app, all of these could be avoided.
