CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Jose B. Lingad Memorial General Hospital in this capital city was declared as the Best National Government Hospital in the 2023 Gawad Kalasag Special Awards.
This was recently announced by the Central Luzon Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC).
RDRRMC Chairperson and Office of Civil Defense (OCD) OIC-Regional Director Shelby Ruiz emphasized that the search is not only focused on responding to disasters.
“It is also on proactively managing risks, recognizing the importance of disaster preparedness, prevention, mitigation, and even rehabilitation in building resilient communities and highlighting initiatives that empower communities to be disaster-ready and capable of minimizing the impact of natural and human-induced hazards,” she added.
Palayan City Rescue Team topped the Best Government Emergency Management while Tarlac Filipino-Chinese Volunteer Fire Brigade was named the Best Volunteer Organization.
Moreover, educational institutions who bagged honors include Alasasin Elementary School as Best Public Elementary School, Camp Tinio National High School as Best Public High School, and Tarlac Agricultural University as Best Higher Educational Institution.
Heroic Act-Posthumous category was likewise bestowed to five heroes of Bulacan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office who perished during a rescue mission at the height of Super Typhoon Karding last September 25, 2022.
The winners will be Central Luzon’s entries in the national competition.
Meanwhile, Ruiz also expressed her gratitude to the members of this year’s Regional Selection Committee (RSC) for their full support and active participation.
