THE Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) swiftly responded to the call of an Abra mayor to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for an ambulance.

During President Marcos’ visit to Abra, La Paz Mayor Joseph “JB” Bernos appealed for help and requested additional firetrucks and ambulances for the quake-hit province.

“All your comments are well noted and of course, sige we will look into it.The problem of firetruck and ambulance is worse here in Abra than in other provinces, medyo naiwanan kayo,” Marcos told the mayor.

A day later, PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles delivered an ambulance to the town of Danglas, Abra.

Robles personally handed over the keys of the ambulance to Danglas Mayor Esther Bernos in simple ceremonies at the town’s covered court.

Mayor JB Bernos of La Paz, Abra Rep. Ching Bernos, and Danglas health staff witnessed the turnover.

Before the start of the turnover ceremonies, aftershocks were still felt in the area.

Robles assured Mayors Esther and JB Bernos, of the towns of Danglas and La Paz, respectively, that the PCSO is committed to implementing President Marcos’ SONA directives in giving simple, faster assistance to Filipinos in need.
