President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos bring the 'Libreng Laboratoryo, Konsulta at Gamot Para sa Lahat' or 'LAB For ALL' caravan in Pasig City on Oct. 3, 2024. In his speech, Marcos said the project bridged the gap in the healthcare system in the Philippines, especially in the geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas, or those in far-flung areas. A brainchild of the first lady, the LAB for ALL caravan is a flagship outreach program that offers an array of health services such as free consultation, free medicines and basic laboratory tests done in the Bagong Pilipinas Mobile Clinics. The caravan has visited 35 locations across the country since it started in May 2023. The President thanked his wife for her dedication to helping the public even without fanfare.
