CANDABA
- Local elected officials here recently agreed to allocate some P2-M as
social fund for the indigent Candabenios who cannot afford to pay in
full their hospital obligations.
Mayor Rene Maglanque said that he wanted to bring the services of the municipality closer to the people.
"Ang
gusto natin diretso sa tao ang serbisyo at ito ang ibibigay natin sa
kanila. Yung pondo ng munisipyo ay para sa tao," he added.
Maglanque said that for next year's budget deliberation, he
would recommend to the Sangguniang Bayan to allocate the said amount to ensure the success of its implementation.
He
explained that under his proposal, the municipality would enter into
memorandum of agreement with the identified government hospitals to
discount on the financial obligation of any Kabalen who would secure the
health services of the latter.
This will be charged against the account set to be opened by the municipality in the hospital.
"Siyempre
limited lang yung ating pondo, certain percentage ang babayaran natin
para marami din ang ating matulungan. Pero titiyakin natin palalakihin
natin ang pondo sa mga darating na panahon," he stated.
Vice Mayor Normita
"Babes" Evangelista assured the mayor that the Sangguniang Bayan would
support the establishment of social fund.
"Kami
naman sa Sangguniang Bayan basta maganda ang programa ay in full
support kami kay mayor. Maganda itong iniisip niyang social fund dahil
makikinabang talaga ang ating mga kababayan," she noted.
