Project ARUGA 2026 is not a typical medical mission. It is a continuing commitment to care.

Spearheaded under the leadership of MCPI Alumni President Michael Uy and Pag-Asa Batch Alumni 2001 President Jophil Jacob, with the dedicated support of Alumni President Job Fernandez, Project ARUGA is a collaborative preventive health program organized by Pag-Asa Batch 2001, the MHSPMCPI Alumni Association, and DRMC Care in Motion. It was carried out with a purpose that goes beyond first-contact medical assistance, to build continuity of care, strengthen partnerships, and ensure those who serve the school and community are also cared for.

Dr. Kristine I. Zantua, MD, MPA, FPAFP, highlighted that while teachers spend their days caring for learners and steering school programs, they too deserve genuine care and support. This advocacy is strongly championed by PCNHS leadership, recognizing that healthy, supported educators are essential to a thriving school community.

The success of Project ARUGA 2026 was driven by the guidance of School Principal III Manuel M. Esperanza, Assistant to the School Principal Jobellyn May A. Bontifola, and Academic Head James M. Sumile, alongside the steadfast assistance of faculty members Karell Labrador, Agnes Godoy, and Venus C. Kampag.

Comprehensive medical services were made possible through physicians Dr. Marjorie A. Pelegrino, Dr. Mary Ellen S. Lacia, Dr. Joebelle May G. Dela Cruz, Dr. Primrose M. Odtojan, Dr. Kristine I. Zantua, and Dr. Theresa S. Hintay; pharmacist Reina Carmel Torrefranca, RPh; and ECG technician Ms. Coleen Codoy. Dedicated clinical care was administered by School Nurse Sheena Angel M. Escudero, RN, together with Maria Susette B. Flores, RN, Charisse C. Sabado, RN, Jhomielyn P. Senagpolo, GN, Zyl Heart R. Gabaya, GN, and Teree Camille Q. Evalaroza, GN. Crucial diagnostic laboratory support was rendered across both project phases by medical technologists Quennie Thalia Maquidato, RMT, Sweety Joemarie Domider, RMT, James Art Basuil, RMT, Daren Pudadera, RMT, Honeylee Villarmia, RMT, Tracy Klee Torrefranca, RMT, Julius Monterola, RMT, Rachelle Ann Bautista, RMT, and Dearie Beam Cauzarin, RMT.

Their collective effort reflects one powerful principle:

𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑, 𝐓𝐎𝐎.

Through the united strength of alumni leaders, healthcare professionals, and the PCNHS community, Project ARUGA proves that meaningful service is not measured by a single day, but by the lasting commitment to follow through and care again.

Let’s ARUGA today for a healthier tomorrow. 💙🌿
