TUBLAY GETS NEW AMBULANCE

August 15, 2021 Provincial

THANKS to a non-government organization, Tublay’s rescue capability will not be hampered after Benguet caretaker Eric Go Yap sourced out an ambulance for the town’s use.
Tublay’s lone ambulance, which recently bogged down, prompted Mayor Armando Lauro to call Yap and sought for its immediate replacement.
“Tinawagan tayo ni Mayor Arman (Lauro), binalita nya sa atin na nagkaroon ng aberya yung nag iisang ambulance nila at hindi na magagamit.
Nagtanong siya kung magagawan natin ng paraan para may magamit ang Tublay. Since hindi pa dumadating yung mga binili natin na ambulance at pati na rin yung hiningi natin sa PCSO, kinailangan ko maghanap ng malalapitan. Mabuti na lang nai-connect natin sa isang foundation na agad tumugon sa request ko,” Yap said.
Yap was able to secure an ambulance from Pitmaster Foundation. As part of its corporate social responsibility, the Pitmaster Foundation was established to initiate a charity project which aims to provide aid to as many indigent Filipinos nationwide, primarily to patients undergoing Renal Replacement Therapy (Hemodialysis).
The Pitmaster Foundation’s target population are the patients diagnosed with CKD (ESRD Stage V) on regular hemodialysis treatment in local government units/private hospitals as well as those needing the basic necessities for a hemodialysis treatment such as dialyzer and Epoetin Alfa injection.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa Pitmasters Foundation, isang tawag ko lang, in a span of one week, nagpadala agad sila ng ambulance na magagamit natin.
Nakakatuwa na buhay na buhay pa rin ang bayanihan, hindi na sila nagtanong para saan at kanino, basta sabi na lang nila, tutulungan nila tayo.
Malapit na din dumating ang iba pang ambulansya na binili natin, lahat ng munisipyo meron at walang maiiwan,” added Yap.
Yap earlier promised to provide all 13 towns and district hospitals in Benguet with ambulances. Last year, three patient transport vehicles were turned over to the local government units of Bakun, Kapangan and Tuba, by the solon and the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
“Ito yung commitment ko sa probinsya, to go beyond our duty para siguraduhin na kaya natin i-address ang mga immediate needs lalo ngayong panahon ng pandemya.
This will not stop, hangga’t kaya, gagawan natin ng paraan na maibigay lahat ng pangangailangan ng mga kababayan ko, ” Yap closed.
