The senator also provided them with lunch, groceries, vitamins, facemasks and face shields.
He also raffled 15 bicycles for the frontline workers of the BGH and 15 computer tablets for children of the frontliners.

“Together with the Department of Health, we continue our collective mandate to offer effective and efficient health care services and assistance to our indigent constituents,” Dalog added. – PIA Cordillera
