Mayor Abby Binay has converted the Makati Coliseum into a mass testing center where swab samples are collected and collated from some 6,000 residents between September 2 and 8, focusing on the most exposed and vulnerabale sector – public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and market vendors.

Earlier, Makati City has been chosen as the pilot testing site for Project Ark’s science-based, pooled swab testing method.
