Ngan, Compostela.  

Lorna Permito, a resident of Sitio Mambusao, expressed her gratitude saying it serves as a good venue for them to know more about the benefits and how they can avail of the services of Philhealth.

Nalipay ko kay di nako makabayad kay nahatagan nako ug libreng Philhealth gikan sa gobyerno. Daku kayo ning tabang sa amoa,”  Permito said who has 6 children to a farmer husband.   

According to Christopher R. Molina, Chief Social Insurance Officer of Philhealth LHIO-Nabunturan, in the 6 barangays alone, a total of 5,675 families were enrolled.

Osmeña; and 250 families for Brgy. Panansalan.

“In addition, we have more or less 1,000 IP members situated in Brgy. Ngan who were being processed as of the moment, thru the initiative of 66IB Battalion Commander LtC Gilbert Roy S. Ruiz INF (GSC) PA, to foster peace and development to the people of the said barangay,” he said. 

Record shows that in ComVal, the national government thru Philhealth enrolled a total of 168,000 families under the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR). With this, the national government allocated P2,400 per family or a total of P403.2M this year for the province.

This is the 4th National Serbisyo Caravan and the 17th Serbisyo Caravan for the Association of Regional Executives of National Agencies in Region XI. This is ARENA’s flagship program presently headed by DPWH Reg. Dir. Mariano Alquiza.

It provides a one-stop shop where various government agencies gather in one venue bringing services to geographically isolated and depressed areas (GIDAS) as well as conflict affected areas. (Rolito Maestre/PHIC LHIO-Nabunturan)
