CHECKING CAVITE CENTENARIANS HEALTH CONDITION

Eight more elders aged 100-103 in the municipality of Silang were visited by the team of medical volunteers from the provincial government of Cavite on September 25-26, 2018. The centenarians and their family warmly welcomed the mission team that performed medical and dental check-up, physical therapy and a few laboratory screening, expressing gratefulness for valuing them as part of the community. Among the centenarians who seem to have contributed much in the province’s history and growth based on their shared life stories whenever doctors do the background health check include Felipe Magsino, Julia Estrella, Maximino Caliskisan, Leonisa Reyes, Luisa Bautista, Antonia Balasa, Emilia Estacio and Julia Payaban. The team of volunteers headed by the Provincial Health Office (PHO) and the Provincial Social Welfare Development Office (PSWDO) will continue to visit more centenarians in the province in preparation of the upcoming elderly month celebration this October.
