The Ecclesiastical District of Batangas North, in the Philippines, hosted a medical and dental mission and also a blood donation activity during the last week of February this year. The former was held at the compound of the Local Congregation of Mataas Na Kahoy on February 22, 2026, the latter at the multipurpose hall of New Era University’s Lipa City campus on February 28.
Nearly a hundred people, benefited in the medical and dental mission spearheaded by the district Christian Medical Dental and Paramedical Society (CMDPS) officers. Beneficiaries were able to avail free medical services which included check-ups, tooth extractions, dental cleaning, random blood sugar testing, and electrocardiogram. Free prescribed medicines and vitamins were also given.
“The primary aim of this outreach activity is to reach out to people of any religion who are unable to avail medical services due to financial incapability,” shared pharmacist Yuey Manguiat. Meanwhile, beneficiary and Buklod member Jeffrey Ona expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thanks to this, I’m able to further take care of my well-being that I may unceasingly serve God.”
The blood donation activity was held in partnership with N.L. Villa Memorial Medical Center.
Stating the reason for his zeal in donating blood, Children’s Worship Service teacher Ariel Fadriquelan of the Lipa City Congregation, shared, “This helps others while proving to be beneficial to my health as a donor.”
More than a hundred people had their health screened, to assess if they would qualify to donate blood. After the actual donation, almost a hundred blood bags were collected.
Bugtong Na Pulo Congregation secretary Harold Dote was thankful to the Church Administration because “activities such as this allow us to put our faith in action by obeying God’s command of loving others by helping those in need.”
On behalf of the brethren in the district, district Christian Family Organizations overseer Brother Rey Angel Buenviaje said: “We will always unite with the activities being launched by the Church Administration.”
