“We are hoping that this joint project between the Rotary Club of Iba and Vice Governor Lacbain who is also the president of the Rotary Club of Downtown Olongapo will continue so we would be able to serve more indigent families in different remote communities of Iba and Botolan who are in need of free medical consultation and medicines”, according to vice mayor Farin.

Vice gov.

Lacbain calls on Rotary Club of Iba to join him in his fight against poverty in Zambales by organizing Botika Natin sa Nayon in the town of Iba. He said, “aside from conducting medical-dental missions, we can also cooperate in bringing miraculously priced generic medicines to remote communities through our small community pharmacy project called Botika Natin sa Nayon”.

In the afternoon, the first Botika Natin sa Nayon in the town of Cabangan was launched by vice gov. Lacbain at barangay Camiing. It is now the 99th small community pharmacy organized and maintained by Zambales War Against Poverty Foundation with the support of the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Department of Health.

Steve Roquet, CEO of St. Stephen Mission Outreach Foundation in California U.S.A. also joined the medical-dental mission and donated $660 to Zambales War Against Poverty Foundation for the operations of eleven (11) Botika Natin sa Nayon.
