In partnership with the Barangay Councils of Barangay 19, 76-A and 74-A, a total of 325 children under 12 years old were given deworming medication to eliminate parasites in the body. The program also addresses the problem of sanitation in the environment to make the surrounding clean, free from harmful bacteria, thus breaking the cycle of the intestinal parasites.
