Babes of Bacolod, a Los Angeles-based fund raising group, recently donated more than P170,000 worth of medical supplies and equipment to the Department of Internal Medicine of the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City.
The "Babes" have been hosting annual fund raisers in Los Angeles since 2004 with the Tapulanga Foundation as their main beneficiary.
The Tapulanga Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to uplift the lives of those who were born with less through educational scholarships, healthcare assistance and micro-credit loans.
The Tapulanga's main thrust is to provide tuition, including books and lunch to the students of St. Francis of Assisi School in Silay City.
Mic Mic Abello-Golez, Tapulanga Foundation executive director said that they added the hospital as a benefactor last year with the donation of 50 mattresses and two suction machines. This year, they were able to donate much more – six suction machines, nine nebulizers, over 200 ET and tracheostomy tubes, sterile gloves, valve masks, a diagnostic set and a laryngoscope blade-due to the overwhelming success of their fundraiser, Abello added.
