Isa po sa mga ipinangako ng Unang Ginang ay ang kanyang pagsuporta sa aking mga plano na ayusin ang ating healthcare system, at ito na nga po ang kanyang handog na mobile laboratory bus (A heartfelt thank you to First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos for her love for the youth of Kankaloo!

Malapitan also thanked those who helped make the donation possible.

"Nagpapasalamat din po tayo sa Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), at sa Newport World Resorts sa pakikipagtulungan sa ating First Lady na maipagkaloob sa Lungsod ng Caloocan ang bagong mobile laboratory bus na siguradong mapapakinabangan ng ating mga kababayan (We also extend our gratitude to PAGCOR and Newport World Resorts for their collaboration with our First Lady in providing the City of Caloocan with the new mobile laboratory bus which will surely benefit our fellow citizens)," Malapitan said.

He emphasized his plan to integrate the new mobile laboratory together with the existing healthcare facilities and services to improve the delivery of health care services to Callocan City residents.

"Tuloy-tuloy din po ang mga programa natin para sa kalusugan ng ating mga nasasakupan, at tinitiyak ko po sa inyo na mas palalawakin pa natin ang sakop ng mga libreng serbisyo-medikal upang mas maging panatag ang pamumuhay ng lahat ng mga Batang Kankaloo (We will continue our programs for the health of our residents, and I assure you that we will expand the coverage of free medical services to ensure the wellbeing of all the Kankaloo)," the mayor said.
