Barangay Chairperson Rowena De Guzman personally attended the ceremony and expressed her gratitude to the PCSO Board for approving their request. She emphasized that the donated equipment will play a crucial role in strengthening their barangay’s capacity to respond to emergencies and provide healthcare services.
According to De Guzman, the items will be distributed to residents through a scheduled medical outreach program, ensuring that the assistance reaches those who need it most in a timely and organized manner.
The latest turnover underscored PCSO’s continuing mission to bring government assistance closer to communities, particularly at the barangay level, where access to essential services often begins.
