‼️MC-TIPC MEDICAL MISSION‼️

The Mandaue City Tripartite Industrial Peace Council conducted a Medical Mission at Sitio Law-o, Barangay Basak, Mandaue City last 7 December 2024. The activity is in cooperation with the Gullas School of Medicine and the Mandaue City Health Office.

The outreach program was led by Councilor Marie Immaline Cortes-Zafra, the Vice Chairperson of MC-TIPC for the Government Sector. BOTs and employees from San Miguel Brewery Inc., Clear Export, and Profood International Corp. also generously shared their time during the outreach program.

Sitio Law-o was chosen as beneficiary because of its distance from the city center, making it difficult for its residents to access the services provided by the City Health Office. More than a hundred individuals were served during the said mission.

Before the activity ended, the residents of Sitio Law-o surprised Councilor Maline with a birthday cake.

The MC-TIPC endeavors to conduct more medical missions in 2025, hopefully doubling the number of beneficiaries.

Thank you to everyone who took part and shared their valuable time, effort, and resources to make this activity a success!
