A donation of 35 gift packs was received from Congressman Irwin C. Tieng, who represents the 5th District of Manila and also holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Philippine Marine Corps Reserve. The donation, made through the Philippine Marine Corps Foundation, Inc. (PMCFI), was ceremonially handed over on August 26, 2025, to AFP Medical Center V. Luna.
Present at the ceremony were representatives from the PMCFI, including Chief Finance Officer BGEN Rodylyn T. Manzano PN(M)(Res), acting on behalf of Executive Director Lt. Gen. Juancho M. Sabban AFP (Ret.). The donation, consisting of imported canned goods, juices, and snacks, was distributed to sailors and Marine patients confined at the hospital. This gift-giving activity continues a series of events, including previous donations on August 19, 2025, at the Manila Naval Hospital and the Philippine Marine Corps Modular Health Facility.
The Philippine Marine Corps is deeply grateful for Congressman Tieng's generosity and support. He has been conducting these gift-giving activities since 2007 and, together with the PMCFI, plans to continue his charitable efforts with another donation to Marine patients at Marine Barracks Gregorio Lim, Ternate, Cavite.
