THE city government of Caloocan received a P1 million grant from the Caloocan City Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (CCFCCC) to effectively strengthen the implementation of the local government’s existing vaccine initiative against the threat of pertussis, commonly known as the “whooping cough”.

City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Chamber for always supporting the programs of the city government and for having a genuine heart to help the citizens of Caloocan.

“Maraming-maraming salamat po sa CCFCCC para sa muli na namang pagtulong sa pamahalaang lungsod na makapagbigay ng maayos at kapaki-pakinabang na serbisyo sa ating mga kababayan,” Mayor Along said.

The local chief executive hoped for the Chamber to continue its partnership with the city government and likewise reiterated his call on his constituents to take personal precautions against pertussis.

“Muli po, nagpapasalamat ako sa CCFCCC at sana ay hindi po kayo magsawa na tulungan kami sa pamahalaang lungsod na pagandahin pa ang buhay at kinabukasan ng ating mga mamamayan,” the city mayor added.
