Caloocan public school workers to benefit from annual free lab testing


The Caloocan City government will provide free laboratory testing for over 9,000 teaching and non-teaching personnel in the city on May 6. 

The tests will include free urinalysis, complete blood count, and chest x-ray.

“Batid ko po ang hirap at sakripisyong inaalay ng ating mga guro at ng lahat ng mga empleyado sa ating mga paaralan upang araw-araw na siguruhin ang mataas na kalidad ng edukasyon para sa mga Batang Kankaloo (I am aware of the hard work and sacrifices that our teachers and all the employees in our schools make to ensure high quality education for the Batang Kankaloo),” Mayor Dale “Along” Malapitan said. 

“Hindi po madali ang inyong trabaho at bilang pasasalamat sa pagtulong ninyo sa pamahalaang lungsod na hubugin ang kinabukasan ng kabataan, personal na layunin ko po ang mga programang aalagaan din kayo, lalong-lalo na ang inyong kalusugan (Your work is not easy and in appreciation of your help to the city government in shaping the future of the youth, it is my personal goal to have programs that will take care of you too, especially your health),” he added.

School personnel can avail of the free laboratory testing at Caloocan City Medical Center (CCMC) and Caloocan City North Medical Center (CCNMC).
