From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 20): 516 patients benefit from dental, med mission in Sorsogon

The Philippine Army's 903rd Infantry Brigade and its stakeholders have successfully provided medical and dental services to 516 patients in Barcelona, Sorsogon province over the weekend.

Capt. Victor Dugaduga, 903rd Infantry Brigade public affairs office chief, said they were aided by the ASA Philippines Foundation Inc. and Barcelona local government unit, and the 31st Infantry Battalion.

The dental and medical mission took place last June 18.

Civic-military operations (CMOs) are part of Internal Peace and Security Program "Bayanihan" strategy to deny insurgency from gaining a foothold in the countryside, he said.

For his part, 903rd Infantry Brigade commander Col. Fernando Trinidad said: “We will sustain peace and development effort through CMO activities like these in order to help address the issues in the delivery of basic services to the remote areas like Barangay Tigkiw of Gubat, San Antonio, Sta Lourdes, San Ramon, Fabrica, Bugtong, and Bagacay all of Barcelona, Sorsogon."
