The Camarines Norte Provincial Social Welfare Development Office (CN PSWDO) headed by Ms. Cynthia R. Dela Cruz, along with Camarines Norte Persons with Disability Affairs Office (CN PDAO) headed by Dr. Rex A. Bernardo, under the Provincial Government of Camarines Norte (PG-CN) by the leadership of its Governor, Hon. Ricarte R. Padilla, and its Vice Governor, Hon. Joseph  V. Ascutia, assisted the PBF Prosthesis and Brace Center, a non-government organization specializes in providing high prosthesis and orthosis services headed by Mr. Fernando Santos, together with his PBF Staff, Ms. Hazel Cruz, Emil Guitierrez, Jack Roque, Jhun Flores, Patrick Sarsonas and Larry Eduardo in conducting the fitting, adjustment, and final check out of Prosthesis (Artificial Leg) for thirteen (13) PWD beneficiaries last August 29, 2023, Tuesday, 8:00AM TO 3:00PM held in front of MASCD Office, Provincial Capitol Compound, Daet.

Half of the said thirteen beneficiaries had their Assessment and Measurement of their prosthesis assistive devices last November 2021 at Daet Municipal Covered Court while others had their assessment and measurement last July 31, 2023 at Camarines Norte Persons with Disability Affairs Office, Provincial Capitol Compound, Daet. Those Persons with Disability beneficiaries who have submitted and complied to all the requirements needed by the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office for their liquidation processes were the ones who benefited from the province’ initiative for PWDs. As the fitting, adjustment, and final check out of Prosthesis (Artificial Leg) for thirteen (13) PWD beneficiaries would take a lot of time, the participating offices agreed to have them by schedule.

The warmest smiles not only from the thirteen beneficiaries but also from their families were shown at the end of the fitting and adjustment of their artificial leg; indeed, the true fulfillment of a government worker is seeing the warmest smiles and laughter from their clients. One of them brought a bilao snack for the working teams and another (Mr. Dante Flores) even offered to sing a song to show his gratitude to the teams who made all this possible. To the hardworking and diligent PBF Prosthesis and Brace Center Team, who tirelessly adjust the artificial legs of each beneficiary, and to the Provincial Government of Camarines Norte with their famous tagline: “Alay sa Diyos, Alay sa Bayan.” The event ended at exactly 3:00 in the afternoon.
