CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The Provincial Government of Pampanga, under the leadership of Governor Lilia “Nanay” G. Pineda and Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, extended ₱8 million worth of medical and financial assistance to more than 200 Kapampangans from various towns across the province.
The aid covers support for patients undergoing chemotherapy, dialysis, surgeries, and liver transplants, among other medical needs.
Governor Pineda and Vice Governor Pineda personally led the distribution of financial assistance at the Pampanga Capitol, where they also took time to speak with each beneficiary.
The program forms part of the provincial government’s ongoing commitment to deliver accessible and compassionate healthcare services to all Kapampangans, especially those in critical and vulnerable conditions.
Among the day’s beneficiaries was 5-year-old Scarlet, one of 47 chemotherapy patients who regularly receive financial aid from the Capitol. Scarlet was diagnosed with eye cancer two years ago, which led to the removal of one of her eyes after several chemotherapy sessions.
Touched by her story, Governor Pineda pledged to provide Scarlet with an artificial eye, offering not just physical aid but also hope and renewed confidence for the young survivor.
“Sobrang salamat po Nanay sa tulong niyo sa anak ko, “ said Marlyn, mother the cancer patient.
Assisting in the distribution were Board Members Fritzie David-Dizon, Cherry Manalo, Christian Halili, Dr. Kaye Naguit, and Maynard Lapid.
The Pampanga Provincial Government continues to strengthen its health assistance and social welfare programs, ensuring that every Kapampangan has access to proper medical care and support.
