On June 18, 2025, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), led by Director
Imelda Papin, distributed 500 Charitimba food packs to senior citizens in North Fairview,
Quezon City, as part of the agency’s ongoing drive to support vulnerable sectors in local
communities.
The activity also featured a Medical and Dental Mission facilitated by the PCSO Medical
Services Department, under the leadership of Dr. Rouel Aparato and his assistant, Dr.
Rosendo Papin. A total of 230 residents received free consultations and essential
medications during the event.
Additionally, the Ideal Vision Center,
headed by Dr. Evelyn Dalida, partnered
with the PCSO to provide 200 free pairs
of eyeglasses to individuals in need,
further strengthening the day’s health-
focused services.
The activity conducted by PCSO is aligned with the agency’s mandate to help the Filipino people through its various programs, such as the Corporate Social Responsibility Program and the Medical and Dental Mission. It also serves as a contribution to the national directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to uphold and strengthen the country’s healthcare.
