The two parties formalized the initiative by signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the Membership Accident Assistance Benefits (MAAB) program during the second Malabon Filipino-Chinese Cultural Festival at Robinsons Town Mall Malabon on Friday, Feb. 28.

Beneficiaries will be automatically registered as Premier Gold members, which includes P200,000 cash aid for accidental death, disablement, or dismemberment, P200,000 for unprovoked murder and assault, P10,000 accidental medical reimbursement, P5,000 burial benefit, and a P200 daily hospital allowance (up to 60 days).

All beneficiaries will also receive an identification card, which they can present at PRC offices to claim their benefits.

Sandoval emphasized the importance of the initiative in protecting Malabueños.

"Sinisikap po ng ating lokal na pamahalaan na bawat isa sa atin ay magkaroon ng seguridad at kasiguruhan sa kanilang kalusugan at kaligtasan ano man ang panahon. Kaya ikinagagalak ko po ang ating pakikipagtulungan sa Philippine Red Cross para sa isang napakahalaga at napakagandang programang ipatutupad sa ating lungsod (Our local government is striving to ensure that each of us has security and assurance when it comes to our health and safety, no matter the circumstances. That is why I am pleased with our collaboration with the Philippine Red Cross for an important and meaningful program that will be implemented in our city),” Sandoval said.

The local government remains committed to supporting the MAAB program and will continue working with the Philippine Red Cross on training programs, blood donation drives, and other essential services for Malabueños in need.

City Administrator Rosete emphasized the importance of this partnership.

"Sa paraang ito, mas maipapadama natin sa ating kapwa Malabueno na tayo ay handang tumulong at umalalay sa panahon na kinakailangan nila, katuwang ang Philippine Red Cross. Ang paglagda ng kasunduang ito ay isang simbolo ng pagtutulungan para sa pagpapabuti ng mga programang pangkalusugan at kaligtasan (In this way, we can better show our fellow Malabueños that we are ready to help and support them in times of need, in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross. The signing of this agreement symbolizes our commitment to working together to enhance healthcare and safety programs),” he said.
