FORT MAGSAYSAY, Nueva Ecija — At least 540 individuals have benefited from a medical mission conducted by the Members Church of God International (MCGI) in partnership with the troops of 91st Infantry (SINAGTALA) Battalion on Good Friday at the Covered Court of Brgy Butas-na-Bato, Dingalan, Aurora on April 15, 2022.
LTC Julito B. Recto Jr., Commanding Officer of 91IB said that his unit participated in the activity by offering free hair cuts and distributing enhanced comprehensive local integration program (E-CLIP) and Army Recruitment leaflets to the beneficiaries.
Among the services offered by the MCGI are free medical consultation for both children and adults, optical and dental services, and distribution of free medicines and circumcisions which benefited not just the residents but the nearby barangays as well.
The medical mission was initiated by the Chairman of Barangay Butas-na-Bato, Roy Francisco thru the MCGI headed by Brother Daniel Razon.
Mayor Shierwin H. Taay, Mayor of the said municipality also attended the activity.
LTC Recto Jr said that Good Friday is one of the most important dates in the Catholic Church (Christians), and it has significant meaning as it lives out its healing mission of the said ministry of the MCGI.
“It is the day of the sacrifice, suffering, and death of Jesus. It also reminds us of the inevitable difficulties and suffering in our own lives and the wider world. Those in our care and their loved ones often feel these challenges acutely. It will encourage us to remain faithful to one another, especially in times of difficulty and uncertainty. It’s really good to see the people receiving the help and assistance that they need from our medical volunteers and paramedical group. It made a difference,” LTC Recto said.
Meanwhile, the Commander of the 7th Infantry (KAUGNAY) Division, Philippine Army Major General Andrew D Costelo PA extended his gratitude to the members of MCGI for the partnership with the Army in their meaningful endeavor on Good Friday benefiting the locals of Dingalan, Aurora and said that they hope that will continue to extend their services to the needy.
