Speaker vows funding support for veterans’ clinics
MANILA, Philippines — Speaker Martin Romualdez yesterday gave assurances that the House of Representatives would provide “funding support” to President Marcos’ advocacy to enhance veterans’ access to health care services, particularly in areas outside Metro Manila.
“Health care should always be within their reach. The valor of our veterans and soldiers can never be fully repaid… We, in the House, in support of President Marcos’ program, will work to ensure that health care services, treatments and medicines are always within their reach,” Romualdez said.
He stressed that the country’s veterans of World War II “deserve the highest quality of service from the government, especially in their twilight years.”
The Speaker issued the statement following Marcos’ launch of the pilot site of the Veterans Access to Lifetime Optimized Healthcare or Valor Clinic at Fernando Air Base in Lipa City, Batangas.
A program of the Veterans Memorial Medical Center, the Valor Clinic is designed to meet the health care needs of underserved veterans, retired soldiers and their families.
