Hi. My parents, Burton Laxina and Delia Laxina, both sr. citizens, were infected by covid19 virus and both are admitted in ACE Doctors Hospital in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. We wanted to ask assistance from PCSO for the payment of hospital bills. They are both getting better now and need to be out soon from hospital admittance. My parents can be contacted directly with this number (09177227255). Thank you in advance for your assistance. It will be highly appreciated.
