Baybayan noted that the beneficiaries were identified based on the previous census conducted by the Deparmtent of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
These include individuals belonging to the poorest of the poor with no capability to pay for their medical needs.
Governor Pineda, meanwhile, reminded them to safe keep the PhilHealth cards to avoid inconviniences in securing benefits in case they will get hospitalize including any of their family member who is under their guardianship.
"Ingatan po ninyo ang inyong mga PhilHealth cards. Huwag po ninyong iwawala dahil malaking bagay po iyan. Wala na kayong babayaran sa mga district hospital natin kapag pumasok kayo dun," she told the PhilHealth cards recipients.
