This year’s 26Th anniversary theme “Patuloy na Nagmamalasakit at Naglilingkod sa Pamilyang Filipino,” serve as an assurance to all members that the corporation has remained committed and is always ready to serve with or without the pandemic.
Koronadal City Mayor Ogena, on his part, expressed his appreciation and gratitude that LGU Koronadal, particularly the COVID 19 patients under the care of the CHO, were chosen as beneficiaries of the outreach program.
