CatSU’s “Free Zone” policy fosters cooperation, public service for the benefit of all, says President Azanza
StudentsCatanduanes State University (CatSU) takes a significant step
towards enhancing public service and community welfare with the adoption of its
"Free Zone" policy.
Spearheaded by CatSU SUC President III Dr. Patrick Alain T.
Azanza, this policy fosters a collaborative approach to address people's
problems and prioritize the community's benefit.
President Azanza firmly believes that when leaders work
together, solutions to people's issues become attainable, and the community
becomes the primary beneficiary.
In a heartfelt statement, he explained, "‘Yan ang
dahilan kaya I adopted the policy for CatSU to serve as a Free Zone. Meaning
bukas sana ang CatSU na magtabang sa gabos na gusto magtabang. Ta pag arog kita
kaan, ang magana pirmi an mga tawo… That is what public service is all
about…"
The "Free Zone" policy aims to create an
environment where CatSU is open to assisting anyone in need.
The university seeks to contribute to the well-being of the
entire community by actively addressing their concerns and offering support to
those who require it the most.
In line with this commitment, Congressman Leo Rodriguez has
collaborated with the Department of Health (DOH) to address the medical
expenses of CatSU students availing themselves of vital tests, such as the
Complete Blood Count (CBC) and x-ray examinations.
Through the Medical Assistance to Individuals Program (MAIP)
Funds, facilitated by Congressman Leo, students can have their bills covered
for essential medical procedures at partnering hospitals, including Immaculate
Heart of Mary Hospital, Eastern Bicol Medical Center (EBMC), and Catanduanes
Doctors Hospital Inc. (CDHI).
