Laguna Governor Sol Aragones brought free dental care to residents of the province as part of her Akay ni Gob program.
The initiative aims to provide free dentures to qualified Lagunenses through a structured process of screening, registration, and scheduled dental procedures.
The activity gathered provincial health officials, dentists, and medical staff who worked together to accommodate beneficiaries.
Aragones personally went around the venue to observe the flow of operations and ensure that the registration and screening were conducted efficiently, bringing the promise of brighter, more confident smiles closer to reality for many Lagunenses.
“Ngayon po 3rd district, isusunod po natin ang ibang Distrito.”
“Nag ayos kagaad kami ng ating health team. Sa pangunguna po ng ating Provincial Health Officer na si Doc Odi. Ngayon po 3rd district, isusunod po natin ang ibang distrito,” the lady governor said.
The program is part of the province’s continuing effort to improve access to essential healthcare services. Other districts are set to follow in the next rollout.
Long lines of residents filled the hospital grounds, hopeful to qualify for the free denture assistance.

Lightening the mood, Aragones added, “’Pag may pustiso na po kayo magpi-pictorial po tayo.”
During the event, Dr. Lee Ho was also introduced as the new head of San Pablo District Hospital.
