The Las Piñas City health office conducted simultaneous medical missions by feeding 2,000 kids in celebration of the birthday of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

The simultaneous medical missions were spearheaded by the City Health Office on Wednesday, 13 September, focusing its outreach efforts in Barangays CAA and Pilar.

During the activity, over a thousand residents availed themselves of free medical consultations, with healthcare professionals on-site, to address a range of health concerns.

Additionally, beneficiaries received free medicines and vitamins donated by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), ensuring that they not only left with professional advice but also with the necessary resources to manage their health conditions.

Complementing the health services, the City Nutrition Office also conducted a feeding program targeting children in the community.

A total of 2,000 kids received nutritious meals as part of the initiative, contributing to the city's ongoing efforts to combat malnutrition and food insecurity.

Mayor Imelda Aguilar personally supervised the medical mission and vowed to conduct similar activities in the future to ensure the health of the children in her city.
