“Ang Hulong Duhat Super health Center ay isang bagong yugto ng pag-asa at pagkakataon na ating binubuksan, ito ay hindi lamang pangalan at istraktura, ito ay simbolo ng pag-asa ng pag-babago at ng pangangalaga sa kapwa (The Hulong Duhat Super Health Center is a new chapter of hope and opportunity that we are opening. It is not just a name and a structure, it is a symbol of hope for change and caring for others),” she said.

“We want to give the kind of health care that will keep them from getting sick. We want families to have physicians that are familiar with their cases. Our 5th Super health Center in Hulong Duhat brings us closer to that goal,” Sandoval added.

The city mayor expressed her gratitude to Go for his unwavering support to the city, especially in the health sector.

“We applaud  Senator Bong Go, for pushing and supporting the improvement in our country’s healthcare program. His initiative to make healthcare available for free through the Department of Health makes healthcare accessible in a way that has never been seen before," Sandoval stated.
