New Ambulance Signals Stronger National-Local Partnership in Indang’s Healthcare Drive
Indang, Cavite—The recent delivery of a Patient Transport Vehicle (PTV) to the Municipality of Indang highlights the growing synergy between national leadership and local governance in advancing community healthcare. Spearheaded by the Office of the President under Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., the initiative reflects a broader push to empower municipalities with the tools they need to respond swiftly to medical emergencies.
Rather than just a local achievement, the arrival of the new ambulance represents a strategic investment in public health infrastructure. It’s a tangible outcome of coordinated efforts between national agencies and local officials, with PAGCOR Chair Alejandro Tengco and PCOO Atty. Wilma Eisma playing key roles in facilitating the donation. Their support underscores the value of inter-agency collaboration in delivering essential services to underserved areas.
Mayor Vergel “Action Man” Fidel, known for his proactive leadership, received the vehicle on behalf of Indang’s residents. His administration’s “Bagong Indang” campaign has been focused on modernizing services and ensuring that every citizen benefits from organized, compassionate, and responsive governance. The new ambulance is expected to dramatically improve emergency response times, especially in far-flung barangays.
“This is not just about transportation—it’s about saving lives,” Mayor Fidel emphasized. “With this vehicle, we’re reinforcing our commitment to #BilisSaPagresponde and #AgadNaAlaga. It’s a symbol of our dedication to public welfare and readiness in times of crisis.”
The initiative aligns with national goals of inclusive development, where even smaller municipalities are equipped to meet the healthcare needs of their populations. It also reflects a shift toward more localized empowerment, where leaders like Mayor Fidel are given the resources to enact meaningful change on the ground.
As Indang moves forward with renewed capacity, the community is reminded of the power of unity and shared purpose. The new ambulance is more than a donation—it’s a promise fulfilled, a step toward safer communities, and a model for how national and local partnerships can transform lives
