Two coordination meetings led by the Office of the Presidential Assistant for Northern Luzon (OPANL), headed by Presidential Assistant Ana Carmela Remigio, were held at the First District Congressional Office to prepare for the 1 to 3 July rollout of the HPV immunization and cancer screening drive.

Sandro Marcos and partners from the Department of Health, Department of Education, Philippine National Police, Department of Information and Communications Technology, National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center, local government units, and civic organizations, the initiative aims for 100% cervical cancer vaccine coverage for girls ages 9 to 14 across Ilocos Norte.
