The Priceless Joy

of Volunteering:

Medical Mission 2019

By Mhanny S. Agusto, Communication

and Stakeholder Management

“Volunteers are not paid. Not because they are worthless

but because they are priceless.” – This was the battle cry
of the Volunteer Employees of South Tollways (VEST) as
they spearhead the annual Medical Mission of MPTSouth

held last June 15 at Brgy. Toclong, Kawit, Cavite.

In partnership with the Philippine Navy, One Pharma,
Tollways Multipurpose Cooperative and Maynilad, VEST
was able to give medical assistance to around 167 bene-

ficiaries, ranging from kids to senior citizens. The Volun-
teer Doctors from Philippine Navy were able to cater 81

General Check Up Patients, 36 Pediatric Patients, 24
Dental Cases and 6 Maternal Checkups – all were given
free Medicine courtesy of OnePharma.

Aside from this, VEST Volunteers were able to assist the

Barangay Health Workers in getting Vital Signs, distribu-
tion of medicine and giving away free snacks and free-
bies to all the beneficiaries.

This is just one of the many CSR programs lined up for

this year by the Stakeholder Management Team of CSM
Division. CSM Head, Arlette V. Capistrano, is encouraging
MPTS employees to be part of VEST and experience the

fun and fulfillment in helping our fellow kabarangays in
our host communities.
