Lydio, MaFe and I turned over the linens to the Siquijor Provincial
Hospital. On hand to receive the linens were Dr. Evelyn Cortes-Retana, Chief
of Hospital (equivalent to the Medical Director in a private hospital), and
Dr. Nell Aquno-Alcoran, Provincial Health Officer. The Provincial Hospital is
a 100-bed hospital. We turned over 200 bedsheets, 342 pillow cases, 11 bath
towels, several small towels and face towels. The latter 2 I can't recall
the number. Dr. Alcoran was the one doing the tallying of the items counted.
When I left the Provincial Hospital, the clerk of Dr. Retana was writing the
items down into their record book. Dr. Alcoran and Dr. Retana will mail to
GASA thru you their acknowledgment/receiving report with a copy for my files.
Should there be excess pillow cases in the boxes at Lazi Medicare Hospital, we
will complete the count of the pillowcases for the Provincial Hospital. The
rest of the linens designated for the indigents in the province are still in
the boxes at the Provincial Hospital.
Mr. Thomas Villarubia,
provincial head of the Dept. of Social Welfare & Development in the Siquijor
arrived later. Lydio and I decided last Tuesday that Lydio is to invite Mr.
Villarubia to the turnover so he will know that the rest of the linens are
intended for the indigent beneficiaries in the island. I did tell Mr.
Villarubia that we can't make a schedule for the distribution to the indigents
for we need to have a credible list of indigents throughout the island.

The 4 boxes delivered direct to the Lazi Community Medicare Hospital by Claire's staff contained
only bedsheets. Lazi Medicare Hosp. is only a 15-bed hospital. I gave 30
sheets and 10 sheets extra for the doctor's quarters.
Since nasayop man pagcount
didto sa sheets given to Siquijor Provincial Hospital, I turned over to Dr.
Alcoran 2 more to complete the 200 sheets for them, plus 10 sheets for the
doctors' quarters nila.
Present during the turn-over to
the Lazi Community Medicare Hospital were Dr. Alcoran, the headnurse, the
medical technologist, and driver. Lydio and MaFe were not around as they were
attending the funeral service at 2 pm that day.
The remaining boxes are still
with the Medicare Hospital. I informed the group that I will be requesting a
vehicle to remove the boxes from their office to be brought to Nang Jajack's
house. I requested Nang Daday for the use of the red pick-up which she
readily agreed to. Since her driver was not around arranged na lang nako na
this coming Saturday morning.
Note: All the remaining
boxes are now at Jajack's house. Distribution of linens to indigents will be
done sometime in December, 2004 with GASA president Carmenia Miraflor.
