Today marks a pivotal moment for the residents of Brgy. San Andres in Sto. Domingo, Albay as they celebrate the turnover of their new Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facility.

This newly constructed facility features a potable water system with seven communal tap stands, two restrooms, and five hand washing stations. Such an enhancement is poised to significantly impact the lives of 300 households and around 800 students of San Andres Integrated School (SAIS) by improving access to clean water and promoting good hygiene practices, contributing to better health outcomes and an improved quality of life.

The successful realization of this project is a testament to the collaborative efforts of Mercury Drug Foundation, PBSP, the LGU of Sto. Domingo, and the active participation of local residents.

The event is graced by Councilor Lyra Gregorio, SAIS Principal Purisima Balbin, representatives from PBSP and Mercury Drug Corporation, and Adette Dizon, Program Manager of MDFI.

Collaborating closely with PBSP and the Local Government Unit of Burgos, Surigao del Norte, Mercury Drug Foundation officially handed over a WASH (water access, sanitation, and hygiene) facility today that will benefit at least 150 households in Brgy. Baybay and students of Baybay Elementary School.

The facility includes a water system consisting of five communal tap stands, two restrooms, and five hand washing stations to guarantee that the community has easy access to safe and clean drinking water and good hygiene, potentially preventing the spread of water-borne illnesses.

Parish priest, Fr. James Dosado, led the thanksgiving prayer and blessed the WASH facility. Mayor Angie Arcena, Barangay Chairman Jose Goña Jr., PBSP representatives, and members of the Sangguniang Bayan joined MDFI’s Program Manager, Adette Dizon, at the turnover event.

Beneficiaries in the 120-day supplemental feeding program, together with their parents and volunteers, gathered earlier today at the San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila, to celebrate the program's success. One hundred children who were malnourished earlier have now recovered to their normal nutritional state.

Working together under their respective KidSigla and Nutrition Damayan programs, Mercury Drug Foundation and Caritas Manila provided the supplemental feeding.
