PhilHealth Regional Office (PRO) XII recently turned-over Php1, 237,011 proceeds of “PhilHealth Run 2015: PhilHealth …Ready…TSeKaP…Go!” to Cotabato Bahay Maria Foundation, Inc. (Bahay Maria), a home for abandoned and sick elderly located at Anacleto Bador Sr. St., Poblacion II, Cotabato City.
In the turn-over ceremony held at Bahay Maria, PRO XII Regional Vice-President Dr. Miriam Grace G. Pamonag said the donation included an isolation building, repairs of the residents’ quarters and vehicle “the 1.237M went to this edifice (isolation building) and the vehicle yet to be procured so that their patients, in case of emergency, can be easily brought to the hospital. We are also going to renovate the resident’s building to improve their living conditions.”
In addition, she said “will also be giving-out groceries that are over and above the 1.237M.”
As record of donation, Bahay Maria Founder and Auxiliary Bishop of Cotabato Most Rev. Jose Colin M. Bagaforo, DD, Chairperson of the Board of Directors Rev. Fr. Benjamin Ariel P. Torreto, DCC and Administrator Jovita C. Isnani, MA received from PRO XII a steel sheet Certificate of Donation.
Isnani shared “this has been our dream because every now and then we have residents with weak lungs and even the hospitals don’t accept them. So we just treat it here, place them in our clinic and isolate them. After treatment, we let them go back to the ward. We have been praying so hard for this isolation and the Lord is so good. Dito ko nakita, the promise of the Lord that He will be our Divine Provider.”
Most Rev. Bagaforo thanked PhilHealth for choosing Bahay Maria as one of the two (2) beneficiaries of PhilHealth Run 2015. “Thank you very much. I am sure by that gesture of yours of partnering with us we will be able to serve better our less fortunate brothers and sisters in Bahay Maria.”
In her message, RVP Pamonag assured Bahay Maria that “the partnership will not end here. I hope that your doors will be opened for us always” and added “after this, we will go to the DSWD because they also have Php1.237M.”
The turn-over was also witnessed by other Bahay Maria Board of Directors, management officers and staff, some benefactors and PRO XII officers and personnel comprising the different PhilHealth Run 2015 Committee and Sub-Committees (Gloria Amor L. Sequito).
