A volunteer medical team provided free healthcare services to 910 residents of Barangay 165 and 164 in Manila’s 2nd District on March 8, 2026, as part of a social welfare initiative by the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII).
The outreach program, organized by the FFCCCII Social Responsibility Committee, deployed five physicians and 10 dentists to address the primary health needs of the underserved community.
The team treated 700 patients, performed 50 dental extractions and distributed 160 pairs of reading glasses during the day-long clinic.
FFCCCII vice-president William Yap Castro led the delegation alongside social responsibility committee director Hong Zhao Jian, deputy director Xu Huan Dong and office head Yang Xue Qin. The federation officials were joined by local barangay leaders to oversee the distribution of care and supplies.
Castro donated Gibi sports shoes from his own manufacturing company to those in attendance.
The initiative aimed to expand access to essential health and dental services for community members who often lack professional care. The clinic is part of the FFCCCII’s broader efforts to support social welfare and public health across the Philippines.
