Eight towns in the province of Rizal benefitted from the continuation of Senator Francis “TOL” Tolentino’s medical caravan, conducted from November 21 to 23.

Team TOL, spearheaded by the senator’s eldest son, Tagaytay City Councilor Micko Tolentino, personally visited the municipalities of San Mateo, Rodriguez, Cainta, Taytay, Binangonan, Morong, Baras, and Antipolo.

The event was attended by Rizal Governor Nina Ricci Ynares, alongside other local officials who expressed their support for the initiative.

During the caravan, Team TOL distributed free dentures, prescription eyeglasses, and essential medicines to residents. Additionally, financial assistance was provided through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program, helping families in need.

The medical caravan is one of Tolentino’s flagship programs, reflecting his dedication to improving the health and well-being of Filipinos, particularly in underserved communities.

“This initiative goes beyond providing services; it’s about showing genuine care and compassion for our fellow Filipinos,” said Sen. Tolentino. “Health is a fundamental need, and we remain committed to reaching out to more individuals in need.”

Prior to Rizal, the medical caravan had already been successfully conducted in various towns in Cavite and Batangas, reaching thousands of beneficiaries in the region.
