Linus Christian Almira, Jardin’s private secretary, said the residents availed themselves of free eye screening and consultation on throat and ear problems.
Jardin, who is the chair of the board’s committee on health, is also an EENT (eyes, ears, nose, throat) specialist.
Free reading glasses were also given to the beneficiaries.
The medical mission in Manticao was held in cooperation with the town’s doctors.
On February 19, another medical mission will be held in Barangay Punta Silum, also in Manticao. (Michael Andrew W. Yu)
