Las Piñas City Rep. Camille Villar has recently held a medical mission for 200 elderly citizens from Barangays Talons 1 to 5 as part of her continuing advocacy to sustain healthy living and improve the lives of vulnerable citizens.
“It is important that we make sure that our grandparents, and mothers and fathers stay healthy. Now that diseases caused by high heat index and other various diseases are widespread, senior citizens need regular check-ups to ensure that their bodies are strong and healthy,” she said.
The beneficiaries had free check-ups and consultations, and they were given free maintenance medicines. Indigent children were treated to free fast-food spaghetti during the event.
According to Villar, she has been helping indigent families, including those who belong to the vulnerable sector, improve their lives through medical and financial aid.
