The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to serving communities, this time in San Nicolas, Batangas.
Led by PCSO Director Retired Judge Felix Reyes and Director Janet De Leon Mercado, the agency distributed one thousand (1,000) food packs to the impoverished and needy residents on February 2, 2024.
PCSO previously visited San Nicolas under the leadership of Dir. Felix Reyes to deliver a Patient Transport Vehicle (PTV) on December 22, 2023.
Sa pamamagitan ng inyong lokal na pamahalaan ay nakapagbigay po kami ng isang bagong PTV sa inyong bayan noong Disyembre. Kami po ngayon ay bumalik upang handugan naman po kayo ng mga biyayang food packs mula sa PCSO," stated Dir. Reyes.
Dir. Janet De Leon Mercado expressed her joy at reaching the beautiful town of San Nicolas, Batangas, to extend assistance.
"Ako po ay natutuwa dahil sa narating namin ang inyong bayan na may simple at payak na pamumuhay. Karapat-dapat lamang po na kayo ay matulungan dahil karamihan sa inyo ay naapektuhan at ngayo’y nagsusumikap bumangon muli mula sa pagputok ng bulkan Taal," said Dir. Mercado.
Vice Mayor Napoleon V. Arceo, on behalf of Team Lester-Nap and the entire Municipal Council of San Nicolas, Batangas, expressed overwhelming gratitude to PCSO's leadership for the food packs.
"Mula sa pamunuan ng Team Lester-Nap kasama po ang buong Sangguniang Bayan ng San Nicolas, Batangas ako po ay nagpapasalamat sa PCSO sa pamumuno ni GM Robles gayundin sa akin mga kaibigan na sina Dir. Reyes at Dir. Mercado sa handog nyong mga ayuda. Napakalaking tulong po nito sa aming bayan gayundin po doon sa mga kababayan nating inilikas mula sa loob ng bulkan Taal patungo sa evacuation center po sa Ibaan, Batangas," said the vice mayor.
Furthermore, PCSO officials awarded certifications for the distribution of educational assistance to selected students in San Nicolas.
The aid distributed is part of PCSO's Corporate Social Responsibility Program, which aims to assist the poor and needy residents according to the agency's mandate,
