The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) provided 20 wheelchairs and 20 crutches to Barangay Lucsuhin, Silang, Cavite, as part of its ongoing commitment to social welfare.

In a turnover ceremony at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City, barangay chairman Arnold Garcia officially received the mobility aids from PCSO Corporate Planning Department manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong.

According to Garcia, the assistive devices will be distributed to senior citizens and persons with disabilities within their community to improve their well-being.

This initiative is a crucial component of PCSO’s Corporate Social Responsibility program, which is dedicated to delivering immediate assistance to those in need. Through programs like this, PCSO continues to uphold its mission of fostering inclusivity and enhancing the quality of life for Filipinos.
