Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan thanked the officers of the Philippine Chinese Charitable Association (PCCA) and the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC) for expressing their full support to her administration.

In a thanksgiving dinner on Monday, March 25, PCCA and CGHMC reaffirmed their commitment to a deeper partnership with the local government.

Lacuna-Pangan cited the parties' invaluable assistance to the programs of the city government over the years.

"You have been our partner for the longest time, for as long as I can remember, through the leadership of Dr. James Dy, who happens to be our "Ninong" in our wedding," Mayor Honey, who is also a doctor, said. 

Dy served as president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the CGMH for many years until his passing last year.


"Here's hoping for more years of fruitful partnership with the Chinese General Hospital. Your board has already promised a lot, especially training for our medical staff and cath lab.  Marami pong salamat at sana ay 'wag kayong magsasagwa," the mayor added.


CGHMC's new President Kelly Sia thanked the mayor and city administrator Bernie Ang for Manila's extended support and partnership with the organization over the years.


Sia vowed commitment to help the City of Manila in any way possible, especially in terms of healthcare. 


"Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of our fellow Manileños," Sia said, adding that their vision for the future revolves around working together and serving the community. 

"In closing, I want to once again express my gratitude to Mayor Lacuna...your unwavering support fuels our commitment to excellence and motivates us to reach even greater heights. Let's continue to join hands in shaping a healthier and brighter future together," Sia added.


PCCA board chairman Antonio Tan said the generous gesture of Lacuna-Pangan and Ang in hosting the thanksgiving dinner highlighted the cooperation, collaboration, and mutual respect that continue to inspire them to contribute to community service in Manila.


"It is through partnerships like this that we can make an impact on those we aim to serve.  In return, the PCCI wishes to affirm its commitment to the leadership and progress of the city," Tan said.


 "We are more than willing to extend any necessary assistance ensuring that together, we can tackle the challenges that lie ahead ... hand-in-hand for a brighter future for the Manilenos," he added.

CGMHC Vice President Juanito Ang, Associate Medical Director for Charities and Missions and Eye Center head Dr. George Go, Jr.,  Medical Director Dr. Samuel Ang and Ospital ng Maynila Director Dr. Karl Laqui also graced the dinner event.
