MABALACAT CITY – Mayor Crisostomo Garbo will continue his rounds of visit to bedridden Mabalaqueños this coming July as part of his promise to continue his popular ‘MCG cares’ brand of health program for the indigent and ailing constituents.
Garbo made this announcement during Monday’s flag-raising ceremony at the open ground of city hall. MCG was joined by Vice Mayor Gerald Guttrie Aquino and Councilor Jun Castro.
“Sa muli kong pag-iikot sa mga barangay sa Hulyo, ang gusto ko lahat ng mga totoong bedridden na kabalen sa community na aking daraanan ay makikinabang sa programang ito, ayaw ko ng may lalapit sa akin at sasabihing paano naman yung iba,” Garbo said.
Garbo also told those who are in charge of enlisting the beneficiaries to include those who really deserve to be helped. “Huwag niyong ililista kung kamaganak niyo lang o kumpare o kumare tapos hindi naman pala bedridden, malalagot kayo sa akin kapag nalaman ko na may ganyan,” he then furthered.
The reelected mayor had already offered genuine prayers and financial assistance to 554 bedridden Mabalaqueños since he started his personal visits. Various assistance ranging from groceries and medicines to financial aid have been provided by the Mabalacat City Government under the administration of Mayor Cris Garbo.
In his message, MCG reiterated to the city hall employees and JOs the importance of maintaining compassion when serving the people.
“Magkaroon tayo ng tunay na malasakit sa ating mga kababayan. Ito ang ating tungkulin bilang mga public servants. Magserbisyo tayo ng bukas sa ating kalooban. Huwag tayong maging suplado o suplada sa ating mga kababayan,” Garbo added.
The Mabalacat City Government under the Mayor’s Office through the City Social Assistance Office has been providing assistance to the indigent bedridden Mabalaqueños since 2019 and the distribution is being given every quarterly.
