TACLOBAN CITY – The members of the provincial board of Leyte unanimously approved a resolution declaring Senators Pia and Allan Peter Cayetano as adopted son and daughter of the province.
The resolution was authored by Board Member and majority floor leader Carlo Loreto.
The sibling senators recently entered a memorandum of agreement with the Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center for the financial assistance for indigent patients where they allotted P1 million fund from their priority development fund (PDAF).
The said amount will be replenished once it is depleted as stated by their representative in the Visayan region.
Aside from the medical assistance provided at the EVRMC, the two senators also provided fund for medical assistance at the Leyte Provincial Hospital located in Palo town.
To recall, the provincial board in their session a few weeks before their Christmas break had passed a resolution asking from the two senators if they can provide funds for medical assistance for indigent patients of the province who are confined at the EVRMC, of which the solons agreed.
Last year also, the two senators provided funds to several local government units here in Leyte particularly in the fifth district for the improvement of several rural health units.
Insuring better health for every Filipino is one of the priorities of the two senators, which Senator Pia Cayetano stressed in her visit last year at the EVRMC to check the condition of the maternity and pediatric ward of the hospital.
The two senators are strong supporters of Reproductive Health bill which is still in pending in Congress.
