ILOILO CITY, Aug. 11 -- Selected residents of Barangay Veterans Village in City Proper district of Iloilo City on Friday availed of services extended by the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) as the latter celebrates its 116th Police Service Anniversary.

Senior Superintendent Marissa Billote, chief of the PRO6 regional health service, said that they have been tasked by Chief Superintendent Cesar Hawthorne R. Binag to extend the medical-dental services to the community.

While the mission is in line with their service anniversary, she also looked forward to conduct similar activity in other surrounding barangays of the camp in the future.

The one-day mission was held in coordination with the Department of Health (DOH).

Meanwhile, Veteran’s Village Barangay Captain John Eric T. David said that the activity is one venue for his constituents to become closer to the PNP and will “open” the way for them to communicate with the law enforcement agency.

He said that through their continuous interaction, his residents could reciprocate them by providing information in support to the programs of the PNP.

It was the second time that his barangay has availed of the medical-dental mission under his term.

Veterans Village is the host barangay of the PRO-6 Camp Martin Delgado.  The medical-dental mission pre-identified 150 recipients composed of 30 pedia, 70 adults and 50 for dental service. (PNA)
