As part of its Christmas activities, The Medical City (TMC) Iloilo held an outreach activity in its adopted Ati Community in Brgy. Lanit, Jaro, Iloilo City on December 15 in line with its ATIpan Project. The said activity was made possible through a partnership with the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry-Iloilo Chapter (PCCI-Iloilo) and Miss Iloilo 2025.
Over 200 residents who are members of the Ati Community benefited from the Outreach Activity that brought holiday joy. PCCI-Iloilo distributed Noche Buena Packages as part of its community project, PCCI Cares which came from the proceeds of the organization’s Christmas Parol, one of its flagship programs.
PCCI-Iloilo’s Christmas Parol of Hope does not only illuminate the streets of Iloilo City every Christmas Season. It also provided livelihood to the Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Male Dormitory in Ungka, Jaro, Iloilo City and joy to the beneficiaries of the community outreach activities they hold from the proceeds of this project.
PCCI-Iloilo Chairman Felix Tiu expressed his gratitude to TMC Iloilo for partnering with the organization, especially this Christmas Season as they aim to benefit different communities in Iloilo.
“We are thankful to TMC Iloilo for partnering with PCCI-Iloilo as we aim to foster community engagement and help those in need. This is our way of giving back to the community while promoting a more inclusive growth to everyone”, Tiu said.
Residents, especially children, were also treated to a mini-program that included games, storytelling sessions, and a gift-giving activity led by the Miss Iloilo 2025 candidates.
Aside from organizing the Outreach Activity, TMC Iloilo will be providing the candidates with healthcare services such as Women’s Health consultation, diet and nutrition management guidance, and aesthetic assessment, among others as exclusive healthcare partner of Miss Iloilo 2025.
“For the second time around, we are proud to partner with Miss Iloilo 2025. This year is extra special because we have benefitted our adopted Ati Community. This outreach activity is part of our ATIpan Project as we continuously bring not only healthcare closer to every Ilonggo but also livelihood opportunities to well-deserved individuals”, TMC Iloilo Chief Executive Officer Dr. Felix Ray Villa noted.
