Neophyte Candaba councilor Rene “RamJ” Maglanque Jr. led the distribution of mobility assistance for elderly residents and persons with disability (PWDs) in his municipality.
The neophyte councilor has been distributing various types of mobility aids to elderly and needy residents of this town, according to a Sun Star Pampanga report.
The equipment Maglanque provides include wheelchairs, adult walkers and assistive canes.
“Marami pong mga kababayan natin na may kapansanan ang humihingi ng tulong na kahit papaano ay makabalik sila sa dati nilang pamumuhay at tayo naman po ay parating handang tumulong,” Maglanque was quoted as saying.
The councilor said he had already distributed dozens of mobility aid to senior citizens and PWDs in different barangays.
He also purchased additional supply of the mobility aid to assist more Candaba residents.
“Dumating po ang mga karagdagang wheelchairs at saklay ngayong araw na ating ipapamahagi sa mga kababayan nating nangangailangan ng mga ito,” the councilor said.
“Ang gusto lang po natin ay makatulong po ang mga ito sa inyong pang araw-araw na pamumuhay at sa inyong mga suliraning pangkalusugan,” Maglanque said.
