“Dako kayo akong pasasalamat. Dako kaayo ako kalipay sa ICPO ug sa stakeholders. Dako kog pasalamat sa ila kay nakaapil ko sa medical mission,” she said. 

[I am very grateful. I am very happy with the efforts of ICPO and the stakeholders. I am very grateful to them because I was able to participate in the medical mission.]

Meanwhile, Maximo Mosqueda of Brgy. Tubod expressed gratitude for the free services offered to them. As a person with disabilities, he said the medical mission was very important to them.
