PCSO turns over Patient Transport Vehicle to Philippine Coast Guard
The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office formally turned over a Patient Transport Vehicle to the Philippine Coast Guard on Oct. 5 to strengthen its patient transport capabilities and support its medical, humanitarian, and emergency response operations.
The turnover ceremony was led by PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles, PCSO Chairman Judge Felix Reyes (Ret.), Directors Janet Mercado, Jennifer Liongson-Guevara, and Imelda Papin, and Assistant General Manager for Charity Sector Atty. Lauro Patiag. The vehicle was officially received by PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan.
The donation is part of the PCSO’s Medical Transport Vehicle Donation Program, an initiative aimed at enhancing the transport and emergency response capabilities of institutions providing essential public services.
With the PTV donation, PCG is expected to further strengthen its capacity to transport patients, facilitate timely medical assistance, and support disaster response operations, particularly in underserved and geographically isolated communities.
The turnover underscores the PCSO’s continuing commitment to promoting public welfare through strategic partnerships that contribute to improved access to healthcare and other vital services for Filipinos nationwide.
