PANDI, Bulacan-Local officials embrace the “New Pandieños,” the relocated former Metro Manila informal settlers (IFS) including Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap (Kadamay) as primary beneficiaries of the town’s first public hospital that was inaugurated yesterday.


Mayor Enrico Roque said the hospital is intended for all residents of Pandi but the legal IFS recipients of government housing projects in Residence 3 including the Kadamay are mostly the one in need of medical help and services.
The hospital can cater to more than 20,000 relocated IFS including Kadamay in ten government housing sites in six barangays.
