Yes, we were able to avail of the financial assistance, about 6.7% if I’m not mistaken, given by the PCSO. So, we are quite sad that the government is mulling to abolish its existence due to mismanagement and tainted with corruption.
it so sad na hindi na pala e process ng PCSO if the date of discharge of the hospital bill is beyond 1 month na. even there is new printed hospital bill and promisory note. sana e consider nila dahil ppaano kung walang makapag process kaagad dahil na busy fin sa hanap buhay. kailangan din nating kumilos para sa daily needs natin. frustrated lang po kasi hindi naman nakalagay sa list of requirements nila. dapat sana naka specify din doon. opinion lang po. salamat
