Pineda family supports young cancer patients

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, Vice Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda, and Executive Assistant IV Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab extended support to 32 young cancer patients during a visit to the provincial capitol on Monday, Sept. 23.

Each patient received ₱10,000 from the Pineda family as help for their medical needs.

On top of that, Governor Pineda shells out his personal money, giving each patient monthly with ₱5,000 for medications. The provincial government regularly offers medical assistance, particularly for chemotherapy sessions.

On behalf of the Pineda family, Cayabyab reassured the patients of their continued support throughout their treatment and recovery.

“Sana kahit sa maliit na paraan ay napasaya namin sila,” she said.

The kids asked for toys, which Pineda-Cayabyab agreed to give before Christmas.

“Patuloy po kaming nagpapasalamat sa kanila. Nakatatak po sa puso namin na lagi po silang nariyan para sa amin,” said Shaine Macaspac, a mother to one of the beneficiaries.
