IPAO conducted free eye examination and targeted to give free 200 pairs of eyeglasses.

“We are wishing them that they are able to get a better life after this; that they will not lose hope; that they should have a mindset na they can always recover,” said Dr. Lilibeth Imperial Dabatos, vice president of IPAO-Iligan Lanao Chapter and president of Rotary Club of Uptown Iligan- District 3870.
