A senior citizen has his blood pressure checked at the medical mission organized by Pasigueñas Organization for Women’s Empowerment and Recognition.
More than 500 residents benefitted from the medical mission that was held on 16 November 2019 at Karangalan Park in Pasig City.
Organized by the Pasigueñas Organization for Women’s Empowerment and Recognition (POWER), the medical mission was dubbed “Most Requested Services (MRS) for Pasigueños” and was spearheaded by POWER chairwoman Maribel Andaya-Eusebio.
The goal of POWER MRS is to help families, especially women and children, who have not been able to avail of medical attention.
The POWER MRS medical mission, which was held in cooperation with We Care, offered general consultations, laboratory services, blood pressure checkups, eye refraction, cataract evaluation and diabetic retinopathy screening. Free medicine and vitamins were also given away, as well as eyeglasses to those who needed them.

“In this medical mission, many received help, including children and senior citizens,” Eusebio said.
To show their concern for those in need, POWER gave away wheelchairs, quad canes, walkers and crutches to PWD and senior citizens. Other services offered that day included free haircuts, manicures and back massages, as well as activities for children like coloring and face painting.
“I would like to express my wholehearted gratitude to the barangay officials, POWER coordinators, We Care colleagues, Sangguniang Kabataan and of course to former Pasig City Mayor Bobby Eusebio and to my family,” Eusebio added.
