Nearly 800 residents of Taguig underwent free eye and dental care under the Oplan Linaw and Oplan Ngiti programs of the city government at the Lakeshore Hall.

Under Oplan Linaw, over 740 residents underwent free eye check-ups. Each resident was assessed for eyeglasses prescription which will be delivered to them.

One of the beneficiaries was Mary Grace Calderon, 48, who said, “Dahil prioridad ko po bilang isang ina ang pag-aaral at pagpapalaki sa aking anak, hindi po ako agad nakapag-provide ng salamin. Kaya naman, nagpapasalamat po ako sa Taguig at kay Mayor Lani sa libreng konsulta at salamin na matatanggap ko. Isa po itong malaking tulong para sa akin (Because my priority as a mom is my child’s education and upbringing, I was not able to provide glasses right away. That is whay I am grateful to Taguig and Mayor Lani [Cayetano] for the free consultation and glasses I will receive. This is a big help for me.”

Under the Oplan Ngiti program, 50 graduating students of the Taguig City University became the first group of beneficiaries. They were assessed and measured for free dentures. 

Beneficiary Audrey Khate Laumoc, 22, a BS Psychology student, said, “Salamat po at maayos na ang mga ngipin ko. Magkakaroon po ako ulit ng kumpiyansa sa sarili ko, lalo na sa pagngiti at pagharap sa mga tao. Maraming salamat po kay Mayor Ate Lani sa malaking oportunidad na ito na maging benepisyaryo ng Oplan Ngiti. Malaking tulong po ito sa pagharap ko sa aking mga future endeavors ("Thank you, my teeth are now in good shape. I will have confidence in myself again, especially when smiling and facing people. Thank you very much to Mayor Ate Lani for this great opportunity to be a beneficiary of Oplan Ngiti. This will be a great help in facing my future endeavors.).”

Cayetano said the city government continues to expand programs to benefit more people.
