As the battle against Covid-19 continues, Coop NATCCO Party-List (CNPL) also unceasingly does its duty of extending its hand to the community in the form of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) – specifically Coveralls/Scrub Suits. A total of 110 pieces of PPEs was handed over to Davao Regional Medical Center (DRMC) and the Local Government of Tagum last November 3, 2021
The simple yet meaningful turn-over ceremonies took place at DRMC, Tagum City, Davao del Norte, and the City Hall of Tagum, respectively. The PPEs were handed by Davao del Norte and Region XI Chapters President, Director ANTONIO C. ARAÑAS, MPA; together with CNPL Provincial Campaign Coordinator MR. EXPIDITO L. BAYUDAN; Members of Tagum Cooperative Board of Directors, Director NENITA R. MALBAS, CPA, MBA; Director JOSEPHINE L. FADUL, Ed.D; Tagum Cooperative Ethics Committee Vice-Chairperson, Mr. DARWIN F. SUYAT, Ed.D.; and Audit Committee Vice-Chairperson Ms. GERTUDES L. YAP, CPA, MBA. DRMC was represented by its Chief Administrative Officer, Atty. EMMAN REY F. DAPAING in lieu of Dr. BRYAN O. DALID, MD, MAHA, FPCS, FPSGS, FPALES, FSOSP, Medical Center Chief II; while the LGU Tagum aptly represented by the Mayor himself, HON. ALLAN L. RELLON, DPA, Ph.D.
CNPL’s primary purpose in donating the PPEs is to make sure that the “frontliners”, such as Doctors and Nurses who are risking their lives to protect the people are themselves protected, knowing that these workers come home to their own families. The use of PPEs could help curb the damaging effects that Covid-19 might bring to the medical workers’ households.
LGU Tagum continues to roll out vaccinations to the members of the community through opening additional vaccination sites to make vaccines more accessible to the community. CNPL sees a way to extend help to those who are still combatting the virus in hospitals through its provision of said PPEs so the medical workers will be able to protect themselves while treating Covid-19 patients.
