BORONGAN CITY—Eastern Samar Governor Conrado B. Nicart, Jr., addressed employees of the provincial government on December 3, 2012 after their flag-raising ceremony, putting an end to rumors of his death due to a heart attack.
According to Nicart, on November 30, he was alarmed when he received a phone call from Department of Interior and Local Government-VIII Regional Director Pedro Noval, Jr., the latter asking about the state of his health.
“Dir. Noval said someone called him up to notify him of my death,” Nicart said.
The rumor was also reported to have circulated through social networking sites and spread like wildfire during the weekend through text messaging.
Explaining his absence, Nicart said he was in Metro Manila to take care of some business so that he was not seen in the provincial capitol for a few days.
“While I was at the national capital, I also went through a medical checkup and was advised to see a physical therapist regarding my shoulder problem,” Nicart said.
Provincial Legal Officer Atty. Christopher Coles, in a separate interview, clarified that despite the governor’s physical absence, there was no truth to news that the provincial government was “paralyzed” for a few weeks.
“As for transactions, it was business as usual,” Coles said.
After a brief interaction with members of the press in his office on December 3, Nicart went back to signing paper works filed on his table.
