THE PHILIPPINE COLLEGE of Occupational Medicine – Quezon City Chapter (PCOM-QC) and Gerry Roxas Leadership Awardees, Inc. (GRLA, Inc.) are set to hold a WASHup Learning Session featuring a demonstration of proper handwashing techniques on November 15, 2025. This community outreach initiative is conducted in partnership with the Manila Water Foundation (MWF) to promote proper hygiene and disease prevention in vulnerable communities.
The beneficiary of this joint program is Barangay Roxas in Quezon City. PCOM-QC Director and GRLA, Inc. Adviser Dr. Rosalina Castillo-Magnaye shared,
“We have voluntarily initiated this Handwashing Project in support of both PCOM and GRLA, Inc.’s mission. Doctors and leaders will be present to guide and support the community in learning proper hand hygiene practices.”
MWF continues to champion proper hand and oral hygiene as a simple yet effective measure in preventing communicable diseases and in promoting overall health and well-being in schools, communities, and public spaces. Through this collaboration with PCOM-QC and GRLA, Inc., the Foundation aims to extend its reach and provide critical hygiene support to more communities.
“This is just the beginning,” said Luchie Aclan-Arguelles, GRLA, Inc. Past President.
“As we move forward, GRLA will continue to pursue meaningful outreach and community-centered programs.”
As part of the same initiative, PCOM-QC, GRLA, Inc., and MWF will donate three (3) handwashing stations to Barangay Roxas—a meaningful contribution that supports long-term hygiene access and community well-being.
