ANGELES CITY — This city mayor’s chief adviser and executive assistant made a
home visit Thursday to a bedridden patient to deliver personal help of financial
assistance, medicine, milk, and diaper supplies, using their talent fees as
Beautéderm ambassadors.
IC Calaguas and IV Reina Manuel were joined in their charitable undertaking by
city economic development and investment promotions office chief Irish Bonus-
Llego in their visit to Marilyn Bustillo, 59, a resident from Barangay Sto. Domingo
who has been suffering from dementia for four years.
Upon learning the medical condition of Bustillo, Manuel and Calaguas
immediately asked her son, Paul Gilbert Bustillo, if they could come for the visit.
“As Beautéderm ambassadors, it has been our vow to extend a helping hand to
the needy, especially those who are struggling with medical needs,” Manuel said.
Calaguas echoed the sentiment, saying “Sa abot po ng aming makakaya ay
tutulong kami, lalo na po’t malapit sa puso namin ang mga bedridden patient.”
“Ito rin naman po ay isa sa mga priority projects ni Mayor Lazatin,” Calaguas
added.
Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr., who has always looked out for the welfare of
bedridden patients in the city, also sent personal cash assistance.
The city social welfare and development office is also processing the financial
medical assistance for Bustillo.
Manuel and Calaguas expressed their gratitude “to our Beautéderm family, led by
president and CEO Rei Anicoche-Tan, for being an instrument in delivering our
advocacies, using our talent fees as ambassadors.”
The patient’s son expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the local executives, Mayor
Lazatin, and the city government, for their personal visit and assistance:
“Maraming salamat po. Malaking tulong po ito, para mga pangangailangan ni
Mama.”
Recently, Calaguas and Manuel also extended a helping hand to a cancer patient
from Barangay Cutud.
