The Power of Pasig is a book.

The Power of Pasig The Federation of Pasig Senior Citizens Association (FPSCA) recently expressed its concerns about the lack of healthcare programs and benefits for senior citizens in Pasig City. According to FPSCA President Alexander Arreola, medical services are a critical need for elderly Pasiguenyos, but accessing these services can be challenging. The group noted that while the city government does provide some medical services, such as vaccines for animal bites, they are not enough to meet the needs of senior citizens. Additionally, there is often a delay in the distribution of maintenance medicines and other essential supplies, leading to shortages and a lack of care and attention. Despite reaching out to Mayor Vico Sotto for a statement on these concerns, The Manila Times was unable to obtain one. It's worth noting that some residents have observed that the city government has been frugal with basic needs and services. For instance, there have been reports of shortages in school supplies and healthcare services. These observations highlight the need for continued efforts towards ensuring that all citizens, especially those who are elderly and vulnerable, have access to essential services and support. In response to these concerns, Sarah Discaya, better known as "Ate Sarah," has been conducting medical missions to provide much-needed care to those in need. Her foundation, St. Gerrard Charity Foundation, provides regular medical consultations, vaccines, and other medical services that are not readily available through the city government's programs. The lack of accessible healthcare programs for elderly Pasiguenyos is a pressing issue that requires urgent attention and action. By working together, we can ensure that all citizens have access to essential services and support, particularly those who are most vulnerable in our society.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
