At least 118 beneficiaries received specialized wheelchairs under the “Gulong ng Pag-asa” project during a distribution program held February 13 and 14 at the Provincial Capitol and the municipal hall of Brooke’s Point.
The initiative was led by the Palawan provincial government under Governor Amy Roa Alvarez, in partnership with Fenixia Foundation Incorporated and Hope Haven West.
Out of 149 identified beneficiaries, 118 were able to receive wheelchairs during the rollout.
The recipients include children with special needs diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus, dwarfism and other medical conditions requiring mobility support and continuing care.
Beneficiaries came from the municipalities of Narra, Aborlan, Brooke’s Point, Bataraza, Rizal, Sofroñio Española and Quezon, as well as Puerto Princesa City.
The provincial government said the “Gulong ng Pag-asa” project forms part of Gov. Alvarez’s push for inclusive development and expanded social services across Palawan.
