A total of 636 residents of Canlaon City benefited from the medical and dental outreach program and other government services jointly conducted by the Philippine Army’s 302nd Infantry Brigade and the Philippine National Police recently in the Brgy. Panubigan Gym, in Canlaon City.
Brig. Gen. Ignacio Madriaga, commander of the 302nd IB, said that, as a continuing program, this activity intends to deliver free health services to the constituents of Canlaon, especially those who need medical attention.
Bringing the government services and programs closer to the people counteracts the deception of the CPP-NPAs who promise to help the barangay residents, the army officer said.
