MANILA, Philippines — Field personnel of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will get access to medical services under a new agreement with Pasay City General Hospital, an arrangement aimed at supporting workers exposed to risks while on duty. The memorandum of agreement was signed on Tuesday at the MMDA New Building in Pasig City. MMDA Chairman Don Artes and PCGH Chief of Hospital I Dr. Jonathan Victor De Gracia led the signing of the agreement, which would provide MMDA employees, particularly those assigned to field operations, immediate access to medical services and treatment at Pasay City General Hospital. The MMDA said the arrangement covered personnel such as traffic enforcers, road emergency responders and other frontline workers regularly exposed to dangerous situations while maintaining order and safety on Metro Manila roads. Artes said the initiative recognized the risks faced by MMDA workers in the field as they carried out their duties. De Gracia, for his part, thanked the agency and hoped the agreement would further strengthen the relationship and cooperation between the two institutions.
