ONE hundred seventy visually impaired families were selected as beneficiaries by the Police Regional Office-Cordillera (PRO-COR) and Regional Advisory Council (RAC) member Dona Digna Rosario as part of its annual Yuletide gifts distribution.
In a ceremony held at the PRO-COR grounds in Camp Major Bado Dangwa on December 18, 100 participants physically attended the program to comply with the requirements of the local government of La Trinidad and in accordance to the safety protocols during this time of pandemic aside from other safety protocols strictly observed during the entire duration of the program.
“In the midst of this pandemic, we must always remember that the real meaning of this season is the celebration of the birth of our Savior, Lord Jesus Christ,” said PRO-COR Director Brigadier General R’win Pagkalinawan.
