According to Don Dolido, manager of Bombo Radyo, this is their company's pilot project after the management, under Dr. Rogelio Florete Sr saw that there is a need for such. "Many people go to our station for medical assistance as a result of our Bombo Medico program every Sunday afternoon. So, we thought of holding this kind of activity after all," Dolido said.
