The PCSO also held a charity outreach program for around 500 senior citizens in Marikina City. The seniors received free medical and dental consultations, medicines, and tooth extraction. They were also given grocery packs to take home. The caravan provided additional services along with the regular free healthcare services offered by the city government to its constituents. Rep. Teodoro also took the opportunity to converse with the program beneficiaries to determine their particular needs, and address their issues. Scholarship certificates from the PCSO were also conferred to two youth students in the city.
