MANILA, Philippines — The Taguig City government on Wednesday said that it will temporarily provide free teleconsultations for its 10 enlisted men’s barrios or “Embo” barangays after Makati’s announcement on closure of health centers in the area.

“Pansamantalang magbibigay ng teleconsultations ang Taguig para sa mga residente ng EMBO barangays na pinagkaitan ng Makati ng mahahalagang serbisyong pangkalusugan,” Taguig said in a post on Facebook.
