Reynaldo Arsenio Sr at least travelled 30 minutes from Alumar Island to bring his son to the town's gymnasium where the medical mission was held.
Arsenio, 63, a fisherman, said he never thought that a medical mission would be conducted after the COVID-19 pandemic halted outreach programs and medical missions.
His son, Reynaldo Jr, 29, received a new wheelchair, vitamins and hygiene kits. As the youngest of three siblings, Jr was not able to walk nor talk all his entire life after struck with a disease while still an infant.
"My income is not enough. That's why I'm happy that the medical mission helped a lot. And they served us for free,” he said in the vernacular.
“We are thankful to municipal government of Getafe for welcoming us to conduct our medical mission. There will be more medical missions scheduled in other towns," said Elmer Francis "Jun" Pasion, chairman of PH Cares.
Pasion said he was happy that the activity was successful through the assistance of the provincial government led by Governor Aris Aumentado, 2nd district Rep. Vanessa Aumentado, Getafe Mayor Cary Camacho and former Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) administrator Benjie Oliva. Also present during the event was board member Jamie Villamor.
Vanessa Aumentado expressed gratitude to PH Cares and Rotary Club of Pasay Cyber City for delivering the much-needed services to the residents in her district who are not capable of supporting their medical needs
