Zambales: Northern Mindanao More than 1,500 recipients in Northern Mindanao availed the free services under the "LAB for All" initiative of First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos here on Tuesday. The initiative aims to humanize public service by addressing the anxieties that ordinary Filipino families face daily.

According to Philippines News Agency, the First Lady emphasized during the opening program that the caravan is designed to address the quiet struggles of everyday citizens who often set aside their basic needs in favor of other priorities. "Whenever LAB for All goes around the country, I always ask our team the same question: What do our countrymen need? Because behind every request is a real story," Araneta-Marcos said.

The event saw doctors and medical professionals from the Northern Mindanao Medical Center, along with private and public sector organizations, providing additional support and services to the recipients. The caravan offers free laboratory tests, medical consultations, and medicines, benefiting those who gathered at the campus of Capitol University.
