Eric Go Yap</figcaption></figure></div>(2nd UPDATE) ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Eric Go Yap was rushed to a hospital in Benguet before dawn Saturday after feeling discomfort, his staff said. Yap, also appointed Benguet&#x27;s caretaker lawmaker, was rushed to the Benguet General Hospital after collapsing at around 3 a.m., his chief-of-staff Kevin See said. “Around 3:30 a.m., sobrang namumutla siya and bagsak ang katawan and in discomfort (he was pale and his body was sagging). He was also in discomfort,&quot; See said. In a radio interview with Bombo Radyo - Baguio, See said Yap had been having a hard time resting prior to getting confined. &quot;Hindi nga po siya masyadong makatulog, kakaisip,&quot; See said. (He couldn&#x27;t sleep much because he was thinking too much.)See said they were deliberating over future projects in Benguet prior to the incident. Yap later said in a statement he was &quot;cleared&quot; of any serious ailment, adding fatigue, stress and constant change of weather in Benguet led to his health deteriorating momentarily.&quot;This is just temporary and I will be up and running again soon!&quot; he assured in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/congericgoyap/photos/a.396733847624274/605601866737470/?type=3&amp;theater">Facebook post</a>.In March, Yap was wrongfully included among those found positive with COVID-19 over a &quot;clerical oversight&quot; by the Research Institute of Tropical Medicine. RITM apologized for the error and declared Yap clear of the contagious disease. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/03/27/20/rep-yap-negative-for-covid-19-ritm-clarifies-apologizes-for-clerical-oversight">Rep.
