One Meralco Foundation (OMF), the CSR arm of Meralco, joined forces with the Congressional Spouses Foundation, Inc. (CSFI), PLDT-Smart Foundation, and Metro Pacific Investments Foundation to launch the Bagong Bayaning Mandirigma Casualty Care Center (BBM CCC) at the AFP Medical Center in Quezon City.
The BBM CCC provides world-class care for wounded soldiers, featuring a minor operating room, trauma and wound care center, and wards serving up to 405 patients monthly. Renovation was handled by MIESCOR Logistics.
“This symbolizes public-private unity in honoring our troops with quality care,” said OMF and Meralco Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan. The center is the first phase of a larger project, with a Cancer Care Center to follow in 2025, supported by Makati Medical Center Foundation.
AFP Medical Center Commander BGen. Jonna Dalaguit highlighted the value of collaboration for frontline healthcare. House Speaker Martin Romualdez called the project a “lifeline” for soldiers’ personal battles. CSFI Chair Yedda Romualdez and President Baby Arenas praised the initiative as a fitting tribute to the sacrifices of Filipino servicemen and women.
