ILOILO CITY, Dec 22 (PNA) -- The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) regional office here has donated a total of P1 million in proceeds from its fun run organized last February 15, 2015 to two social health organizations in Iloilo.

Lourdes F. Diocson, PhilHealth 6 regional vice president, said the donation of Php700,000 to the Kaibigan ng Kabataang may Kanser (KKK) will be used mostly for medicines and maintenance of nine poor children currently being treated at the Western Visayas Medical Center.

Another Php300,000 was given to the Women and Children’s Haven in Bulalakao, New Lucena, Iloilo. The inmates there at the Haven are mostly abused and battered women and children who need maintenance and medicines.

Diocson said the amount collected from the fun run is an initial release from the Php1.6-million collection of the massive fun run initiated by PhilHealth 6.
