Remollo, with their respective witnesses PTSI Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Concerns and former senator Teofisto Guingona III and City Legal Officer Manuel R. Arbon, presented the deed of donation that conveys the property to the City Government during this morning’s event at the session hall.
Mayor Remollo expresses his utmost appreciation to PTSI for its generosity of donating the property that will be utilized to establish a modern hospital that will enhance the delivery of health care services for the citizens.
Meanwhile, PTSI President Roa said that the City of Dumaguete is also a recipient of a portable x-ray machine that with the help of artificial intelligence will be able to screen possible cases of TB for early detection and treatment that will save more lives.
