PHILIPPINE Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) chairman Junie E. Cua has announced the agency will soon roll out 225 units of ambulances across the country in with its goal to improve health services that it offers to the public.
“I would like to announce that very soon, our procurement of 225 units of ambulances will be partially completed and those of you who have submitted their request, if you have submitted before and were not included in the priority list, baka sakaling mapagbigyan na (your requests might be granted already),” Cua said during the convention of the Mindanao-League of Municipalities of the Philippines held in Davao City last June 10.
“These are the things that the agency is trying to do so that we can improve our service to you. We will continue to strengthen this,” Cua said.
In addition, he said the PCSO is also focusing its efforts towards generating new funds to expand its medical assistance programs.
The former local executive also said that the agency is looking at ways to work more closely with mayors and other government frontliners.
“The mayors are in the frontline of government service, kayo ang mas nakakaalam ng nangyayari sa ground (they know what is happening on the ground), so it is very important that our agency support the local executives,” said Cua, who formerly served as governor and representative of Quirino province.
During the convention, Cua likewise shared insights on local governance and emphasized the importance of networking to generate more funds to support sustainable development efforts.
He also told the mayors about his guiding principles in public service, which he coined with the acronym “GREAT,” which stands for Good governance, Right-sizing, Efficiency, Accountability, and Transparency.
