“Bisa’g wa ta sa serbisyo, kada tuig gyud ta mohatag og free tuli sa mga bata. Hopefully, makatabang na nila. And while waiting, ang mga ginikanan pwede sa maka-avail og free eye checkup and the free eyeglasses through the Mabuhay Foundation,” said Reluya in an interview.

The former mayor was also assisted by Panadtaran barangay officials led by its chairman Nonoy Reluya.

Gullas, through his grandfather’s Priority Development Assistance Fund, also gave free medicine and vitamins to the children.
