And in that note, last May 31, we had an awards night in Okada. And our advocacy is to help the less privileged fellowmen po by giving these donations. So we are here now at the East Avenue Medical Center so that we can make donations for our Filipino people," said Dr. Ronel Ybanes, President and CEO of AGIA Events Incoporated.
The pediatric ward will benefit from the donation.
