Vice Mayor Jaworski attended the medical mission in Tambakan to show his support to the program and assure city residents of the local government's unwavering commitment to provide public health services. “Walang tigil tayong nagtratrabaho para bumuo ng isang mas inklusibong lungsod kung saan ang bawat nangangailangan ay may matatakbuhan, at ang mga may sakit, lalo na ang mga mahihirap, ay may gobyernong malalapitan. Ito ang dala nating pagbabago sa Pasig (We are tirelessly working to create a more inclusive city where people in need, especially those who are sick, have a government they can rely on and depend on. This is the change we are bringing in Pasig),” said Jaworski.

The medical mission was in line with the “RLove Program,” an initiative of the RLC’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm. RLove supports advocacies and social welfare programs for different groups and communities in partnership with the local and national governments. The medical mission was organized by the OVM staff, and RLC officers led by Ramon Rivero, head of Corporate Strategy & Sustainability; Atty. Jose Luis Aliling, corporate affairs director; Huey Silo, CSR Manager; and Jinky Guanlao, assistant vice president for merchandising of South Star Drug. The area of Tambakan in Barangay San Miguel used to be a dumpsite and is now home to a number of the city's marginalized. In 2019, Mayor Vico Sotto rehabilitated the area to better serve and sustain the communities. The roads were cemented and the drainage was fixed to make it more accessible and livable.
