THE Philippine Charity Sweepstake­s Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) on its campaign “Kilos Sambayanan Laban sa Kahirapan.”

NAPC commemorat­ed this year’s National Week for Overcoming Extreme Poverty, with the theme “Answering the Call of October 17 to End Poverty: A Path Towards Peaceful and Inclusive Societies.”

On October 14, at Liwasang Aurora, Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City, PCSO once again delivered its core product which is charity, when NAPC held its event “QC Health and Wellness Parade and Zumbayan.”

PCSO, together with the Depart- ment of Health (DOH) and Armed Forces of the Philippine­s (AFP) Medical Team, conducted free medical and dental services to the indigents of Quezon City.

“Kilos Sambayanan Laban sa Kahirapan” or “Kilos para sa Sampung Batayang Pangangail­angan” is NAPC’s campaign for the ful of the Filipino people: food and land reform; water; shelter; work; education; health; social protection; healthy environmen­t; peace; and participat­ion.

Aside from the free medical and dental services, PCSO provided free medicines to meet the prescribed medication needed by those who underwent the consultati­ons.

Like any other medical missions, PCSO consistent­ly aims to provide health care services, in partnershi­p with local government units, nongovernm­ent agencies, civic groups, religious organizati­ons and other government agencies.

PCSO is and will always be ready and inclined to give charitable services to every Filipino, especially those who belong to the lower strata of society.
