Guest Writer: Amber Ross B. Ramos

In connection with the annual celebration of the Triskelion’s 16th chapter anniversary, the Tau Gamma Phi/ Sigma Fraternity and Sorority Guihulngan chapter conducted a Free Clinic Program for Guihulnganons today Monday, December 28, 2009.

Starting at around 9 in the morning, the event kicked off with a motorcade participated by members of the said organization. People coming from the different barangays of Guihulngan City converged at the city’s Multi-Purpose Gymnasium as they anticipated with much excitement the free clinic services offered by the organization.

Anatalio Bugwad, 60, a resident of Lagcagon Mckinley was one of the lucky participants who had availed the free clinic services. He pointed out that the program was really a big aid to him and to the others who, like him, could not afford buying medicines.

In an interview, Bonjon Palomares, Vice Governor General of Negros Oriental Provincial Council and Triskelion Global Coordinating Council Director for Visayas, said that it was their solemn advocacy to render an outreach program annually involving free clinic services.

Among the free services rendered were Blood Sugar Testing and consultations. Free medicines given in the outreach were donated by Rite Med Unilab and Pro health.

Aside from the free clinic, the organization also held a feeding program and rendered free hair cut services.

Palomares said they had been giving these services annually for the past eight years. He pointed out that feel more encouraged and fulfilled to offer such services to fellow Guihulnganons in their own little way as an organization. He added that they would be looking forward to render their services again in the coming years by God’s grace.

Duane Canillas, the President of Guihulngan Triskelion Alumni Organization (GTAO) expressed his gratitude towards the people who eagerly participated and cooperated to ensure the success of their event.
