Diodol ES Annex

Our heartfelt gratitude to the medical team of SDO Quirino particularly to Dr. Grace C. Basuel and Nurse Cheryl L. Guillermo for their unwavering dedication and commitment to the welfare of our DESA learners. Despite the challenging terrain and mountainous roads, they journeyed alongside our School Head, Ma’am Veronica B. Arucan, and Sir Orville Villanueva, Administrative Officer II, just to reach our last-mile school and bring essential health services.

Through deworming, dental check-ups, lice removal, and other health interventions, they helped ensure that our learners remain clean, healthy, and ready to learn. They also took time to engage with parents, emphasizing the importance of maintaining good health routines at home, knowing that healthy learners are more capable of achieving their fullest potential in the classroom.

Thank you for your selfless service, compassion, and commitment to making quality health care accessible for every child. Your efforts remind us that no distance is too far when it comes to serving and caring for our learners.
