The Treatment and Rehabilitation Center - La Union (TRC-LU) joins the province in mourning the passing of former Governor Manuel “Manoling” Ortega.
His vision and dedication were instrumental in the creation of TRC-LU, an initiative born from his desire to provide hope, healing, and a humane response to the drug problem in La Union.

Through his leadership, the project found direction, support, and eventually a permanent home with the Department of Health. Today, every life restored and every family given a second chance stands as a testament to his legacy.

Thank you, Gov. Manoling, for laying the foundation of our mission.

May you rest in God's eternal peace. 🤍
