Tabuk City, Kalinga – Fernando Cosidon of the Office of the Congressman Allen Jesse Mangaoang, in an interview this September 18, 2021, said one of Mangaoang's priorities is to provide medical and burial assistance to yKalingas in dire need. This has been done since he took office as a solon.

Cosidon disclosed that the solon has been allocating funds to government hospitals including “National Kidney Institute, National Lung Center, East Avenue Medical Center, then Veterans Regional Hospital now Trauma and Medical Center (R2TMC) in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, and Cagayan Valley Medical Center (CVMC).”

Annual funding has likewise been provided to Baguio General Hospial (BGH), Bontoc General Hospital, and Kalinga Provincial Hospital.

“Annually nga maikabkabil ti pondo da for the purpose nga nu adda ti maiyospital dita nga kailyan tayo nga taga-Kalinga, mabalin da nga i-charge idiay dagiay bill da,” explained the staff of the solon.

Medical condition of patients who could avail

According to Cosidon, the Office of the Congressman accommodates all types of diseases, especially chronic ones such as cancer and kidney failure.

He said that those in need of medical assistance only have to submit medical records and undergo an interview with the presence of the beneficiary.

The Office of the Congressman will then issue a guarantee letter indicating the amount to be shouldered by the office. The letter will be presented to the cashier of the hospital where the patient is confined.

“Han nga cash nga maiyawat idiay patient or beneficiary, maited idiay hospital. Nu manu ti talaga nga bill after legal deductions kasla kuma iti PhilHeath, isu laeng ti maikabil idiay guarantee letter. Example uray nu 50k na-issue idiay guarantee letter, nu 35k laeng diay net, isu ti mai-charge,” Cosidon underscored.
