MANGALDAN, Pangasinan -- Residents of the 4th District of Pangasinan may avail of free medical and dental check-up and other services, as the office of Representative Christopher de Venecia will spearhead a district-wide medical-dental mission on November 14-17.

In an online interview on Tuesday, de Venecia said Dagupan City and Mangaldan will be the first venue of the medical-dental mission from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

Two medical teams will simultaneously conduct check-up and dental services at the Judge Jose de Venecia National High School in Barangay Bolosan, Dagupan City and at the Mangaldan Youth Development Center here, he said.

De Venecia said aside from the medical and dental services, residents may also avail of free haircut, massage and free training on food processing (siomai and fishball) by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), which the attendees could use as a source of income.

“Regarding the target, admittedly our supplies are limited, but we are hoping to serve as many provincemates as possible from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. per venue. Our constituents are all welcome to participate in the medical and dental missions,” he noted.

The medical and dental mission will be held at the San Fabian Sports Complex and San Jacinto Sports Complex on Nov. 15; Manaoag Sports Complex and East Central School, Mayombo, Dagupan City on Nov. 16; and Mabilao Covered Court, San Fabian and Amansabina, Mangaldan on November 17).

The lawmaker’s office will also distribute portable tents for every barangay in his district and 30 water pumps for the farmers.
