CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Despite the limitations imposed by the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine, Kapampangan lawyers were able to raise over P200,000 in voluntary donations from IBP Pampanga members and friends to be used for anti-Covid-19 related outreach.
The donations already resulted in the procurement of N95 face masks given to the frontliners of Jose B. Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital. The legal frontliners from the judiciary, the National Prosecution Service and the PAO were also given face masks for their protection during their court and office duties.
President Ponciano V. Dela Cruz, Jr. started off the relief efforts of the chapter by distributing 30 cavans of rice to jeepney, tricycle and pedicab drivers in Mabalacat City affected by the lockdown.
The chapter has also partnered in two relief operations for families affected by the continuing lockdown.
The personal relief effort of IBP Pampanga member Atty. Bona Carmela Bien for Aeta families in Clark was supported by the chapter where close to 200 families benefitted from food relief packs.
Barangay Jose Abad Santos in Guagua, Pampanga also received relief support from the chapter through the coordination of yet another of its members, punong barangay Atty. Claire David-Lim.
The purchase of PPE for the Diosdado Macapagal District Hospital in Guagua, disinfection sprayers to be used by the Bureau of Fire Protection in Angeles City and relief operations for residents of Barangay Calulut, City of San Fernando, Pampanga are underway.
The chapter also recently launched a hotline number to cater to the growing legal concerns on discrimination of health workers. The assistance will be free of charge as part of the legal aid activities of IBP Pampanga.
