First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos expressed her gratitude to the nurses and community leaders in the United Kingdom and Rome, Italy after she traveled to these countries offering the support and services of the Philippine government.

On 10 October, Mrs. Marcos joined the Filipino community as she honored the nurses in UK in a small celebration in London.

“A night of pride and gratitude as we honored our amazing nurses and community leaders in the UK,” she said.

“You led with courage. You cared with compassion. You served with heart. Each of you carries the Filipino spirit —- strong, kind and full of grace,” she noted.

Meanwhile, the First Lady also engaged Filipinos in London to the government’s Serbisyo Caravan. Through these processes, kababayans were able to renew their memberships in enrolled government services, receive health checks, avail legal consultations and welfare assistance.

“It’s always a joy to give back — even in small ways — to the Filipinos who give so much of themselves for their families and for our country,” she said.

A trip to the Eternal City

Beyond proud, the First Lady also met with Filipinos in Rome, bringing government services across the seas and right on their doorsteps.

“So happy to meet our amazing kababayans in Rome — the Eternal City that so many Filipinos now call home,” she said. “Through the Serbisyo Caravan, our government brought a host of services straight to them — all in one stop!”

Filipinos were able to register in the eGov PH app, updated documents such as Passport and civil registry. They were also assisted by Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and processed their Overseas Employment Certificate, Social Security System and Pag-IBIG concerns.

In health and welfare, migrant workers were also able to receive PhilHealth and DSWD services, as well as legal, business and livelihood support.

The Serbisyo Caravan sits at the heart of Mrs. Marcos’ advocacy that government service should be within arms reach of Filipinos, and if they cannot go to it, the government will come closer to them.
