ITOGON, BENGUET MEDICAL MISSION FOR THE VICTIMS OF TYPHOON PEPENG
OCTOBER 15, 2009
Bua Training Center at Itogon, Benguet is the site of an evacuation center for the victims of the big landslide at Luneta Hill and surrounding areas within the Municipality of Itogon, Benguet.
The total number of families affected by the landslide was 88. About 69 families lost their homes and their source of livelihood. Most of these families were formerly employed by the mining company that operated in Itogon. Most of these are still engaged in small scale mining activities.

The Medical Dental Mission
OceanaGold initiated the medical mission in partnership with the Provincial and Municipal Health Offices of the province of Itogon, Benguet.
The health offices were very thankful of this initiative as most of the assistance given to the typhoon victims did not include medicines.
The Provincial and Municipal Health Offices mobilized all their available staff even on short notice. It so happened that several MHOs from other municipalities were stranded in Baguio and La Trinidad Benguet so when called upon by their Provincial head they readily responded.
The Department of Health and Provincial Health Office took this opportunity to bring their services to the people. These included laboratory services such as urinalysis and total blood counts.
Distribution of vitamins to children was likewise done by representatives of the Department of Health.
Jollibee Foods Corporation brought their mascot to entertain the children (Oct 14) and provided some of the meals for the medical mission team.
This mission provided OceanaGold the opportunity to network with other entities who share the company's commitment to help people.
