Welcome Rotonda MPC — Free Laboratory Test
November 25, 2025

Another meaningful community health activity successfully carried out with the support of the Philippine Cancer Society, Bahay San Jose, Institute for Dementia care Asia - IDCA, and Purple Angel. Residents were able to access free laboratory tests and health assessments, promoting early detection and strengthening preventive care within the community.

A sincere thank you to Ms. Charline Dominguez, Chairwoman of the Welcome Rotonda MPC, whose initiative and steady coordination were key in making this outreach possible. Beyond her cooperative leadership, she also serves as the Operations Director and part owner of Bahay ni San Jose, a care facility of IDCA. Her commitment across these roles continues to reinforce the community’s support system and played a central part in ensuring today’s activity ran smoothly and meaningfully for everyone.

Grateful to our partners, volunteers, and participants for lending their time and heart. Efforts like these build the foundation for future health and dementia-awareness programs that can further support more families in the years ahead
