KIDAPAWAN CITY — The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) formally turned over a Patient Transport Vehicle (PTV) to the City Government of Cotabato during a ceremonial handover held on Friday, November 28, 2025, at the Provincial Capitol in Kidapawan City. The initiative aims to strengthen emergency medical response and support the province’s transportation needs for patients requiring immediate and safe transfer to healthcare facilities.

Local officials expressed their gratitude to the PCSO for its continued assistance, emphasizing the importance of having reliable medical transport especially for far-flung communities. The newly released PTV is equipped with essential medical equipment and features designed to ensure safe and efficient patient mobility during emergencies.

The turnover ceremony underscores PCSO’s commitment to extending medical and humanitarian aid to local government units across the country. The Provincial Government, in turn, reaffirmed its dedication to improving healthcare accessibility and delivering responsive public service to its constituents.

The addition of the PTV is expected to enhance the province’s capacity to respond to emergencies, support medical referrals, and provide critical assistance to residents in need of timely health intervention.
