“We thank Pagcor so much for remembering us. It really warms our hearts to know that our hard work and sacrifices are being recognized and appreciated,” she expressed.

Thousands more healthcare frontliners are expected to benefit from Pagcor’s food distribution activity as volunteers from the agency are set to visit other hospitals around Metro Manila in the coming days.
