One-hundred fifty schoolchildren of the Estado Elementary School-Hacienda Mimi Extension in Barangay 10 – Barrio Estado in Victorias City, Negros Occidental, were beneficiaries of free immunization for influenza, recently.
This was a project of Victoriahanon Victoria Bantug Hoffart, with the Victorias Kaayong Lawas Foundation and the Immaculate Conception Health Center, to commemorate the 98th birth anniversary of former Victorias Mayor Remedios Palanca Bantug, its press release said.
Hoffart is a daughter of Remedios Bantug and sister to the late Betty Bantug Benitez, mother of Rep. Alfredo Benitez (Neg. Occ., 3rd District).
School head Cynthia Lazo welcomed and thanked the project benefactors, led by Hoffart, VKLF president Tricia Anne Regino, Immaculate Conception Health Center medical director, Dr. Ralph Cana, and hospital administrator Butch Gicana.
The group also distributed notebooks for schoolchildren as a contribution to the Brigada Eskwela program in the school, the press release added.*
