The City Government of Iriga, through the City Health Office, brought free tuberculosis (TB) screening and treatment services closer to indigenous communities through a TB Caravan held on August 12 at the Oyango Tribe in Barangay Sta. Teresita, themed "Bringing Quality TB Services to Indigenous Communities."

Residents had access to free chest x-ray, TB preventive treatment, and a TB awareness campaign designed to help community members understand the disease, its symptoms, and the importance of early detection and treatment. The City Health Office also extended its Family Planning Program, Immunization Program, YAKAP Program, and Medical and Dental Services during the caravan.

Aside from the services brought by the City Health Office, the caravan also drew support from several partner offices, including the Local Civil Registry Office, the Public Employment Service Office (PESO), the Camarines Sur Provincial Health Office (PHO), the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Cullion Foundation, and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP).

A total of 201 individuals were screened during the activity, and those found to need further evaluation are now being followed up by the City Health Office for appropriate care and treatment. The caravan also yielded 48 National ID registrations, 50 YAKAP Program registrations, and more than 50 registrations of livebirths.

Initiatives like this reflect the city government's commitment to bringing essential health and civil services directly to indigenous communities who often face barriers in accessing them. By integrating TB screening with birth registration, national ID application, and livelihood assistance in a single caravan, residents of the Oyango Tribe were able to access multiple services in one visit, reducing the time and cost typically involved in seeking these separately.

The City Health Office, headed by Dr. Ronald G. Pereña, in collaboration with the PhilHealth Local Health Insurance Office - Camarines Sur, conducted a YAKAP Caravan for Vulnerable Sectors on August 10, 2026, at the Iriga City Sports Center. Overseeing the CHO's PhilHealth-related efforts during the caravan was Janria T. Gaminde, Population Program Officer I and PhilHealth Program Coordinator of the City Health Office.

The activity aims to raise public awareness about the Yaman ng Kalusugan Program (YAKAP), a program under the Universal Health Care Law that helps Filipinos get immediate access to health services and benefits when they need them. The caravan also brought health and health insurance services directly to Irigueños, helping more registered YAKAP beneficiaries complete their first checkup or consultation under the program, known as the First Patient Encounter (FPE).

The caravan was also supported by the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO), which assisted in updating and uploading the PWD registry, and Generika Pharmacy, which facilitated the eGAMOT program.

The caravan recorded a total of 186 YAKAP registrations, bringing the total number of registered clients to 24,623 from January to August 2026. There were also 106 new PhilHealth membership registrations, 217 medical consultations, and 177 individuals who received medicine during the activity.

Through initiatives like the YAKAP Caravan, the City Government of Iriga continues to strengthen access to essential health services for its constituents. This is especially important for vulnerable sectors, who may otherwise face greater barriers in availing of health insurance benefits and medical care.

The City Health Office II – Mountain Unit, Iriga City successfully conducted the Kick-Off of the Measles-Rubella Supplemental Immunization Activity (MR-SIA) 2026 on August 10, 2026, at the Kinartilan Perpetual Help Covered Court, united by one shared goal: to protect every child from measles and rubella.

The activity was spearheaded by our Doctors to the Barrio, Dr. Oscar Mari John A. Estiller, MD, and Dr. Kathleen Jhoanne D. Martinez, MD, together with Renee Mae G. Barce, RN, Nurse IV, and Noemi T. Grimaldo, RN, Nurse III, with the full support of Mayor Rex C. Oliva.

We were honored to receive the support of members of the Philippine Pediatric Society–Bicol Chapter, particularly Dr. Peter Manuel M. Oliva, and Dr. Marianne Lutgarda Angelica Escobal-Occiano, who both emphasized the vital role of immunization in protecting children and preventing vaccine-preventable diseases.

We are also grateful for the presence and messages of our distinguished guests and partners: Vice Mayor Edsel S. Dimaiwat; Councilor JM A. Grimaldo; Councilor and Rotary Club of Iriga President Dandreb N. Abonite; Perpetual Help Punong Barangay Eduardo V. Dimaiwat; and DOH-CHD Bicol Development Management Officer IV Bryan T.

The activity successfully catered to 120 children aged 6–59 months who received their MR vaccines with the help of mountain-assigned organic and DOH - HRH nurses and midwives. Complementary Family Planning Services and Nutrition Services were also provided by Ms. Marietta Nacario and Kristy Basmayor, respectively, making the event an opportunity to provide more comprehensive health services to families in the community.

The celebration also featured the Commitment Signing Ceremony, “United for a Measles- and Rubella-Free Community,” and the Ligtas Tigdas Dance Challenge, emphasizing that protecting our children is a shared responsibility that requires the commitment of the entire community.

Most importantly, this successful event would not have been possible without the generosity and support of our sponsors and partners. Their contributions helped make it possible for us to create a meaningful, engaging, and child-centered activity while supporting our efforts to reach and protect more children.

The City Government of Iriga held its weekly flag-raising ceremony today, led by the Iriga City Youth Development Office (LYDO) headed by Ms. Quenie Marie April A. Gonzales, Designated LYDO, marking the official kick-off of the 2026 Linggo ng Kabataan and International Youth Day celebration and the launching of the newly selected City Youth Officials, then, Hon. Jeric Esmenda, OIC SK Pederasyon President, delivered the prelude to the LNK 2026 festivities.

Following the recent Search for Iriga City Youth Officials 2026, which drew an overwhelming number of applicants who underwent a rigorous written examination and panel interview process, 36 city youth officials were selected to serve as youth counterparts of local elective and appointive officials, pursuant to Section 30 of Republic Act No. 10742, or the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act as amended by Republic Act 11768, which mandates the observance of Linggo ng Kabataan and the selection of youth counterparts to local officials.

The newly selected youth officials took their oath during the ceremony following a sash-giving rite. Those assigned as counterparts to department heads took their oath under Councilor Jor-El O. Caayao, while those assigned as counterparts to city councilors were sworn in by Councilor Jeff B. Tino. Mayor Rex C. Oliva and Vice Mayor Edsel S. Dimaiwat personally led the oath-taking of their respective youth counterparts.

In his message, Mayor Oliva emphasized to the youth officials that government service demands the exercise of authority, responsibility, and above all, accountability. He reminded them that the trust given to them as youth counterparts comes with the duty to listen, to learn, and to represent the voice of the youth in every decision made within their assigned offices. He also reminded them that public office is a public trust, urging them to carry this principle with them as they begin their journey in public service.

Through this City Youth Office program, the City Government of Iriga aims to nurture the next generation of Irigueño leaders by giving them real, hands-on exposure to governance. This experience helps instill in them the values and skills needed to serve their community with competence and integrity.

The City Government of Iriga, through the City Health Office, in partnership with the Department of Health (DOH)-Bicol, the Provincial Health Office, and the Barangay Council of San Nicolas, joined the DOH's National Road Team in launching the Measles-Rubella Supplemental Immunization Activity (MR-SIA) at the Ilian Tribal Community in Barangay San Nicolas on August 7, 2026.

The program opened with a welcome message from Kgwd. Reynante Ababa, Kagawad on Health of Brgy. San Nicolas, setting the tone for a series of messages from local and regional officials in support of the immunization drive. Dr. Voltaire Guadalupe, Regional Director of the Center for Health Development (CHD)-Bicol, sent an inspirational message delivered on his behalf by DOH representative Dr. Kris Bryan Baria, DMO IV, while Councilor JM A. Grimaldo, Chair of the SP Committee on Health, offered words of support on behalf of the Sangguniang Panlungsod. Ms. Arianne Suzette F. Villamer, RN, Provincial NIP Coordinator of Camarines Sur, then walked participants through an overview of the MR-SIA, before Ilian Tribe Chieftain Romeo L. Salcedo closed the segment with a commitment message ahead of the symbolic launching through the Tree of Commitment and the release of balloons.

Mayor Rex C. Oliva delivered a message during the program, encouraging parents to have their children vaccinated and reaffirming the City Government's commitment to bringing essential health services closer to every Irigueño family, including those in far-flung communities like Ilian. The program also featured a sing-and-dance number performed to the official MR-SIA 2026 jingle, with participation from local government officials, health workers, and representatives from the DOH and provincial health offices. City Health Officer Dr. Ronald G. Pereña delivered a message of appreciation, while Archel C. Salvadora, RN, NIP Coordinator of Iriga City, gave the closing remarks.

The activity was also attended by Punong Barangay Jason Zoilo of San Isidro, Punong Barangay and Liga President Nestor M. Andalis of San Agustin, members of the Rotary Club of Iriga, City Health Office doctors and personnel, the barangay council and health station workers of San Nicolas, and parents with their children aged 6 to 59 months from the Ilian Tribal Community.

The activity was organized by Lorvi Ann Canabe-Botor, RN, and Ma. Aileth T. De Los Santos, RN, together with the Barangay Council of San Nicolas headed by Punong Barangay Wilfredo Jr. Luceña, and the Community Health Workers of San Nicolas, including Rowena Gonzales, RN, Cyrene Oliva, RN, Jane Arejola, RN, and Angelo Cruz, RN.

The MR-SIA aims to protect children against measles and rubella, two highly contagious diseases that can lead to serious complications if left unaddressed. By bringing the immunization drive directly to the Ilian Tribal Community, the City Government of Iriga and its partners help ensure that even far-flung and underserved areas have access to essential health services, reinforcing the city's commitment to reaching every Irigueño family, regardless of location.
