1. Good job!
The five vehicles arrived yesterday morning on board a boat from Manila and were taken to his residence along Veterans Extension on its way to Sulu for the distribution.
Loong said the funds for the purchase of the transportable clinics amounting to P4.2 million and assorted medicines worth P800,000 came from his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
According to the congressman, the mobile clinics plus medicines will be distributed to the municipalities of Jolo, Parang, Patikul, Maimbung and Talipao which will bring basic health services to his constituents in a jiffy.
Loong said there are three priorities he is urgently pushing forward under his district to wit: 1) education 2) livelihood and 3) health services.
“Hindi ako nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral that is why I want my constituents to be literate. I have allocated P4.2 million for the scholarship grant of at least 400 indigent but deserving students in my district. I have also pushed hard for basic health services like this mobile clinic which will go from one barangay to the other to extend medical attention to the people. One of my children died because the medical assistance was so far. To make it more easy and faster the government will now go directly to the people bringing basic health services,” Loong said.
Loong disclosed he also extended free medicines to the hospitals in his district and appropriated P500,000 to the Zamboanga City Medical Center for extended health services if the hospitals in Sulu cannot provide for lack of medical facilities.
Meanwhile, Parang Municipal Mayor Madzhar Loong commended the congressman for the assistance to his municipality.
“This mobile clinic will give more teeth to our health services in the different barrios because it can make our services easier and faster,” Loong emphasized.
