We humbly seek your esteemed office for financial assistance to pay for the surgery and hospitalization charges of my mother. My mother is a market vendor at Trabajo Market in Sampaloc, Manila, and during the pandemic it was extremely difficult for our family to make ends meet. Last Friday, Dec 10, 2021 she was in extreme pain and as we brought her for emergency consultation, she apparently had to have an Emergency Biliary Surgery. We appeal for kind approval for financial support, as we do not know where else to turn to for help. Sincerely, ERBEN JOEY CRISTE

Hello! Thank you so much for your response. We have been trying to access the PCSO main website for days, but we were not able to access it. The site seems out of order. Is there any other way that we can submit all the requirements for our appeal? Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible. Thank you so much!
