Nearly P1 million worth of medical equipment were recently donated by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) to the 4th District of Nueva Ecija.
The PCSO said it gave blood pressure apparatus and nebulizers worth a total of P933,000.
According to the agency, the medical equipment were turned over to the Office of Board Member Hon. Teresita A. Patiag of the 4th District of Nueva Ecija.
The said medical equipment will be distributed to 135 barangays in the 4th District of Nueva Ecija.
PCSO Chairperson and Ad Interim General Manager Anselmo Simeon P. Pinili said the donations provided by the agency were from the customers of the agency who patronize its games.
“ PCSO would like to thank the gaming public for your continuous support to our games and other programs. Through these, we are able to extend help to our fellow Filipinos in need of our assistance,” he said in a statement.
“The said equipment are both essential to the community health management and it is a very timely donation of PCSO as the country is still in the state of pandemic.”
