Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower) and Misamis Occidental I Electric Cooperative, Inc (MOELCI I) capped 2022 with a medical mission benefiting 120 children from Barangay Macamiguing in Calamba, Misamis Oriental.
The two companies sponsored the physical examination of the children and provided them with vitamins and medicines to help ensure their proper development.
“While we have made great strides to adapt to the complexities of an ongoing health crisis, we must never lose sight of how COVID-19 has affected our children’s well-being,” Macamiguing Barangay Captain Emelie Macoto said. “This medical mission shows the commitment of AboitizPower and MOELCI I in protecting children’s welfare by nourishing them with the proper resources that can keep them healthy.”
“We are happy to be the recipient of such a beneficial project” he added.
“We are grateful to AboitizPower and MOELCI for gifting our community with this health project as we face a new year,” Macamiguing Barangay Captain Emelie Macoot said. “As businesses and schools have opened again amidst the on-going COVID-19 threats, it is important that we continue to be vigilant and proactive when it comes to our well-being, especially those of our children.”
MOELCI I General Manager Ruben Bonalos also cited the value of looking after children’s health.
“It is important to protect the children from various diseases and illnesses so they are able to maximize face-to-face learning,” he added.
“We are grateful to AboitizPower for being our partner in contributing to health security in the communities we serve.”
According to AboitizPower Senior Vice President for Commercial Operations Sandro Aboitiz, the company’s health-related programs are in pursuit of their purpose of transforming the world by advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“Through this medical mission, we aim to advance SDG 3 by ensuring the good health and well-being of the citizens residing in Barangay Macamiguing,” Aboitiz shared. “We look forward to organizing more events like these with our partners to benefit more communities, families, and children.”
