The Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) donated seven boxes of assorted medicines to the town of Aringay in La Union on Feb. 23, 2026 to improve healthcare access for grassroots communities.
FFCCCII social responsibility committee director Hong Zhao Jian presided over the turnover ceremony at the Federation Building. The initiative serves as part of the organization’s commitment to providing essential support directly to local government units and social associations in need.
FFCCCII regional council member Jacqueline Chan received the donation on behalf of the town. The organization identifies free medication as one of the “three treasures” of the Filipino‑Chinese community, alongside its other long-standing civic programs.
The social responsibility committee dispatches free-medication teams each weekend to serve residents in various localities. While the specific value of this donation was not disclosed, the federation regularly allocates P1,000s in resources for its weekly medical missions.
The federation aims to bridge the gap in basic healthcare by ensuring that those in the grassroots sector have access to necessary treatments without financial burden. Staff members of the committee attended the event to facilitate the logistics of the transfer to La Union.
