The biggest slice of the pie of the 2011 executive budget goes to the Dumaguete City Health Office, simply because City Mayor Manuel “Chiquiting” Sagarbarria put so much concern on the health of every Dumagueteño.
Even when he was still a City Councilor for three consecutive terms, Chiquiting’s major endeavor was providing medical assistance to the people of Dumaguete.
Nevertheless, due to the growing demand for health care and medical assistance among our constituents, Mayor Sagarbarria had to scout for possible sources who could donate important supplies to the CHO, and other agencies and departments of our local government who are responsible in the implementation of various services.
True enough, the German Ministry of Defense (Bundeswehr)-Humanitary Help Department of Fontainengraben in Bonn, through the efforts of Sampaguita Deutsch-Philipinischer Club E.V. of Blavenstrasse Bad Bellingen, represented by chairperson Araceli Bejar-Heimann, donated medical supplies to the Dumaguete City Health Office through its head, Dr. Maria Sarah B. Tallat.
It is hoped that the medical supplies will be put to good use, and enhance medical services rendered by our City Health Medical team to our dear constituents in Dumaguete City.
