The outreach brought doctors and health workers to the community, offering medical check-ups, eye consultations, and free medicines for patients of all ages.
For senior citizens like Rama Posadas, 75, the visit was a big relief.
“Salamat kay Cong. Pulong. Dako kaayo ning tabang sa amo mga senior citizen nga libre check-up ug tambal. Usahay kulang na pang-maintenance, mao nga karon dili na mi kinahanglan muadto pa sa ospital, sila mismo ang miduol diri sa among tugkaran,” she said.
Barangay Captain Genevieve Arcillas also shared her gratitude for the continued assistance from Congressman Paolo Duterte’s office.
“Gamay ra among barangay ug gamay ra pud among IRA (Internal Revenue Allotment), mao nga dako gyod among pasalamat sa medical mission ug mga tambal nga ilang gihatag. Sukad pa sauna, grabe gyod ang suporta nga ilang gihatag sa among mga residente,” Arcillas said.
Residents went home not only with medicines but also with a sense of relief, knowing that healthcare services were brought directly to their doorstep.
