THE FIRST government-run hospital in Bocaue, Bulacan, to be built at a cost of about P250 million, broke ground Monday, July 16. “We express our sincerest gratitude to the national government for supporting our advocacy in providing quality health care to our kababayans (countrymen). For the longest time, the municipality did not have its own hospital,” Senator Joel J. Villanueva, who led the ceremony, said in a statement. The 50-bed facility will be named Joaquin Villanueva Medical Center. — Gillian M. Cortez
