In line with the celebration of the National Correctional Consciousness Week (NACOCOW) 2026, Calapan City District Jail successfully conducted a Medical, Optical, Dental, and Derma Mission for Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL), reaffirming its commitment to promoting health, wellness, and the holistic well-being of individuals under its care.
The activity was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Philippine Dermatological Society, Oriental Mindoro Medical Society, Provincial Health Office, Sto. Niño Cathedral Parish, and Commission on Women’s League, whose shared dedication to public service brought essential healthcare services closer to the PDL.
The medical mission was attended by a team of dedicated healthcare professionals who generously shared their expertise and provided medical consultations and specialized services. The participating doctors included Dra. Ingrid Priela, specializing in Internal Medicine/Cardiology; Dra. Joanne Charisse F. Sy, MD, specializing in Dermatology and Skin Care; Dra. Rosalyn Sebastian, Pulmonologist; Dr. Arthur Sebastian, General Surgeon; Dr. Emmanuel Priela, Optometrist; and Dra. Patricia Caballero, General Medicine practitioner.
Dental services were also provided by Dra. Nelia Cantos, Dra. Elizabeth Macatol, Dra. Nerelyn Marciano, and Dr. Leo Espallardo, who extended their professional services to address the oral health needs of the PDL.
Through this initiative, the beneficiaries were given access to essential healthcare services, emphasizing the importance of preventive care, early detection of health concerns, and proper personal hygiene. The activity also highlighted the vital role of inter-agency collaboration and community partnerships in ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to all, regardless of one’s circumstances.
More than a healthcare initiative, the mission served as a testament to the spirit of compassion, inclusivity, and humanity that underpins the celebration of NACOCOW 2026. It reinforced the principle that every individual deserves dignity, quality healthcare, and opportunities for personal well-being, including those within the correctional system.
The activity is under the guidance of its Acting District Jail Warden, 𝗝𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗣 𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗘 𝗧 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗨𝗣𝗢𝗡, and 𝗝𝗦𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗦 𝗙 𝗗𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗢, 𝗗𝗦𝗖, Regional Director of the Jail Bureau.
