IT’S all systems go for the country’s first ever Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) hospital here after a kickoff ceremony was held to officially mark the construction of the 100-bed hospital project.

Set to rise on the two-hectare land from the provincial government of Pampanga, the construction of said health facility will be made possible with the P500 million donation of Bloomberry Cultural Foundation, Inc. (BCFI), an entity established by the operator of Solaire Resort and Casino.

Pagcor Chairman and CEO Andrea Domingo, who graced the ceremony said that the state-owned gaming agency and its licensees have long been working together to contribute to nation-building.

Domingo cited that the soon-to-rise OFW hospital will immensely help the country’s modern-day heroes who endure homesickness just to provide for their families and keep the economy afloat.

“We will finally have this very first, modern and state-of-the-art health facility intended solely for the care and medical needs of our OFWs,” Domingo said.

Meanwhile, BCFI President Donato Almeda in a statement said that many Filipinos rely on the OFW’s contribution to the national economy through their hard work and remittances.

“The OFW Hospital is a way for us to show our gratitude. We hope to jumpstart and be a catalyst for other like-minded organizations to build more health facilities for our retiring OFWs, providing them care and compassion as they spend their retirement years back in our beloved country,” Almeda cited.

Atty. Ellan Mark Pailan represented BCFI during the event.

How Vieira is transforming Palace

A cursory glance at the Premier League table suggests little has changed for Crystal Palace this season. In fact, with only one win from their opening seven games, they are three points worse off than they were at the same stage of the last campaign. And yet, despite middling results, the mood around the club is one of renewed optimism. Roy Hodgson provided stability but Patrick Vieira is striving for something more. It only takes a visit to Selhurst Park to see how supporters are responding. Last month’s 3-0 victory over Tottenham, played in a feverish atmosphere in the south-London sunshine, offered a tantalising glimpse of what the future might look like. In fact, the third goal, scored by Odsonne Edouard after fine work from Michael Olise and Connor Gallagher, was a neat encapsulation of the club’s change of direction under Vieira.
