A member of the United States (US) Navy from Calasiao town
expressed admiration to his beloved province
of Pangasinan
Lieutenant Commander Elmer Jimenez, a native son of Barangay
Bued in Calasiao town, said he was very impressed to see a lot of improvements
in his native province.
"The governor and the leadership here is prioritizing
health as one of their main programs and it is very apparent in the
capabilities of its health workers," he said.
Further, he noted he's privileged to have come back "
in the capacity to deliver some types of subject matter exchange here in
Pangasinan and help build the capacity of the provincial government and
provincial health office."
The 43-year-old navyman is the Pacific Partnership 2015
medical planner for Philippines
He is one of the four Pangasinan natives who are part of the
70-man US
The group engaged in various activities related to medical,
health, veterinary, and disaster-preparedness in partnership with the
provincial government from August 10 to 12 in Pangasinan.
According to Jimenez, a lot of them in the group love
Pangasinan's bangus and " puto" (rice cake), a product of his native
Calasiao town.
Pacific Partnership is the largest annual multilateral
humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in
the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region, starting in 2006.
