Manila: Rain Or Shine coach Yeng Guiao, acting as Congressman from Pampanga, has filed House Bill No. 5891 to include basic CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) training as a requirement for high school graduation and said on July 07, he will propose to call it the Samboy Lim Law. \r\n
“Samboy is the inspiration of this bill,” Guiao told The Star on July 07. “I spoke with Alvin (Patrimonio) who was in the gym when Samboy suffered cardiac arrest and asked if CRP was administered. Alvin told me nobody knew how to do it. That prompted me to file this bill. CPR training takes only half a day but it must be taught by an accredited and licensed practitioner or paramedic.”
