MANILA, Philippines – Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park donated eight boxes of 500 ml and 20 boxes of 1,000 ml of dextrose to the Kawit Kalayaan Hospital in San Sebastian, Kawit, Cavite recently.
The Kawit Kalayaan Hospital is a secondary hospital with a 25-bed capacity. Seventy to 80 percent of its patients are from depressed areas; most of them have no money to buy medicine.
According to Kalayaan Hospital’s medical director Edgardo Figueroa, the donation will be a big help to their patients, especially since dextrose is used in treating diarrhea and pneumonia. The dextrose supply is expected to last a week.
Island Cove managing director and former second district congressman Gilbert Remulla said, “We always try to make a difference in peoples’ lives. With the current economic situation and employment rate, we believe that free medicine is significant especially to those who are strapped for cash.”
Island Cove has been known to be a pioneer in the tourism industry by introducing a multitude of attractions that lure both local and foreign visitors.
The existing facilities available to its guests are the Oceania Water Park, Animal Island, Island Songs KTV, Adventure Activity Zone, Fishing Village, and the Island Spa.
Island Cove’s other well-loved trademarks include the outdoor giant chess set, the playground, and Concert Park, among others.
Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park is an ISO 9001:2000 certified and a triple “A” accredited resort by the Department of Tourism.
Located in the historic town of Kawit in Cavite, this 36-hectare Mediterranean inspired island is only 45 minutes away from Metro Manila.
