PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan — At least 1,500 Palaweños became beneficiaries of a medical and social caravan personally led by First Lady Louise "Liza" Araneta-Marcos at the PGP Convention Center at the Provincial Capitol Compound here on Tuesday.

The number of individuals assisted by the Lingap at Alagang Bayanihan, or LAB for All, came from various towns in Southern Palawan and barangays in Puerto Princesa City and were provided with free services from the government such as medical consultation, dental services, nutrition services, laboratory testing, free eye check-ups, and eyeglasses and legal services.

"It's such a pleasure to be here. Palawan is truly known as the jewel of our country. The LAB for All is here to help in our own little ways through medical services and other government services. The LAB for All is giving and providing services for the well-being of the Filipinos. Together, we will rise again for a new Philippines," Araneta-Marcos said.
