Good day.

I would like to request Columbary financial assistance for my common-law spouse who died on August 11, 2021, due to covid19.

My common-law spouse suffered acute schizophrenia-like Psychotic disorder due to Covid19. We've been undergoing quarantine to Quezon City quarantine facility last August 03, 2021, but due to an unexpected situation, my partner suffered depression to Psychotic disorder and the facility decided to transfer her to National Center-for Mental Health to applied appropriate medication for both illnesses (covid19 and mental health) but died last August 11, 2021.
