Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan urged residents to avail of the free services  being offered by the CCMC. 
He also expressed his gratitude to the city’s local health workers for their dedication to provide quality services for its residents.
"Sa mga Batang Kankaloo, isang linggo pong magbibigay ng libreng mga serbisyong pangkalusugan ang CCMC, kaya sana po ay huwag nating sayangin ang pagkakataon na ito na makilahok sa pagdiriwang ng kanilang anibersaryo (To our Batang Kankaloo, the CCMC will be providing free health services for an entire week, so let us not waste this opportunity to take part in the celebration of their anniversary)," he said
"Mula pa noong nagsimula tayong pagtuunan ng pansin ang kalusugan ng ating mga kababayan, mga local health worker po ang ating naging katuwang sa pagbababa ng serbisyo sa ating mga komunidad. Asahan po ninyong hindi lang mga health services ang ating paiigtingin kung hindi pati na rin ang proteksyon ng ating health workers (Since we first began prioritizing the health of our constituents, our local health workers have been our partners in bringing services closer to our communities. You can expect that we will continue to strengthen not only our health services but also the protection and welfare of our health workers)," Malapitan added.
