Dominador Vergara, Jr., owner of Maternal and Child Care Clinic in Malabon and an UPLiFT Partner from CAMANAVA Program’s Bayan-Bayanan Branch for 13 years now, was one of the four COVID-19 Response Champions in the 18th Citi Microentrepreneurship Awards (CMA) held this year.
He not only managed to keep his facility open amid the COVID-19 pandemic but also provided shuttle service to their patients to reduce their exposure to the virus. “Hinahatid-sundo ko lahat ng pasyente dahil unang una po walang masakyan, pangalawa po, na-e-expose sila sa labas dahil nga diyan sa COVID”, related Vergara.
The CMA awarding ceremony, held online on June 15, was led by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) governor Benjamin Diokno and Citi Philippines chief executive officer Aftab Ahmed.
