For the very first time, the Ospital ng Palawan (ONP) is participating in the celebration of the Civil Service Month and held a Food Bazaar at the hospital premises on Friday, September 30.

The ONP bazaar showcased local food products that passed the criteria of the hospital’s nutritionist and was approved by the hospital’s Human Resource Officer. HR Officer Melba Cos confirmed that it was the hospital’s first time to hold an event for the annual Civil Service Month celebration. “Previously hindi nagcecelebrate ng Civil Service Month ang ONP due to heavy workloads ng mga empleyado,” she said.

The hospital’s administration came up with the Food Bazaar to let patients and their watchers get easy access to food without having to go far. Cos added that the bazaar was hosted to offer a variety of food to the employees themselves. “Yung canteen kasi ng ospital hindi pa fully operational kaya maganda rin ito para sa mga empleyado, marami silang choices ng pagkain habang nasa shift,” Cos said.

Aside from the food bazaar the organizers also invited a Zumba instructor for a one-hour zumba session and promotion of healthy lifestyle.

The hospital’s employees expressed gratitude to Medical Center Chief Dr. Melecio Dy for extending support to the said event. The ONP is looking forward to celebrate the civil service month next year.
