The Ilocos Sur Medical Center (ISMC) has received a report that an individual is falsely using the name of our Medical Center Chief, Dr. Angel D. Trinidad Ill, to solicit funds from a company, allegedly for charity work or under the pretense of being a philanthropist.
We would like to strongly emphasize that Dr. Trinidad has never initiated, endorsed, or authorized any solicitation of funds in any form or for any purpose. Any letters, calls, emails, or messages claiming to be from him or any member of his office are unauthorized and fraudulent.

We urge the public to be cautious and to disregard any suspicious communication of this nature. Do not respond, provide any personal information, or transfer funds to individuals or entities claiming to represent Dr. Trinidad or ISMC in any charitable or financial matter.
If you have been contacted, victimized by scammers or have received fraudulent messages, calls, or similar deceptive schemes from individuals using the name of the Medical Center Chief, his secretary, or any member of his staff, please report the incident immediately to llocos Sur Medical Center through the following official contact details: 0962 574 8610
