At the center of Northern Luzon, sits Abra, a region that has witnessed amazing changes because of the efforts of JB Bernos and Ching Bernos. Their deep dedication to helping the citizens of Abra is evident in every project they back, centered on improved roads, healthcare, and social initiatives.
Building Infrastructure to Empower Communities
When reflect on progress, one often thinks of the roads we travel and the bridges that connect us. JB and Ching know that reliable roads and bridges are vital for a thriving community.
For example, the recent upgrades to Macray Road and Sta. Rosa Road in Bangued have made a big difference. These improvements allow families to reach markets, schools, and healthcare facilities. With better roads, local enterprises can grow, and families can interact more easily.
Another noteworthy project is the Salnec-Madalipay-Dugong Legacy Bridge, which is close to completion. This bridge will connect communities that were once difficult to access, providing residents better access to services. JB and Ching aren’t just developing physical structures; they’re also assisting in solidifying community bonds.
Expanding Healthcare Access for All
Healthcare is a big part of JB and Ching’s vision for a healthier Abra. They recognize that many people get receiving the medical help they need, so they’ve put in effort to upgrade healthcare services in the province.
The opening of dialysis centers is a major accomplishment that shows their commitment. Prior to these centers being available, patients with kidney problems had to commute long distances for treatment, which was both difficult and costly. Now, with these centers close by, residents can get better without the worry of travel.
JB and Ching also advocate for improved public health facilities, guaranteeing everyone in the community can access reliable care. Their efforts have rendered healthcare more attainable and affordable, allowing families to access the support they need.
Supporting Communities through AKAP
The Ayuda para sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP) is another example of how JB and Ching support their residents. This program seeks to help the most needy people in Abra by providing:
- Livelihood support to help families begin small businesses or learn new skills.
- Medical aid for those who can’t cover healthcare.
- Educational support, like scholarships and supplies for students from low-income families, enabling them to continue their education.
Through AKAP, JB and Ching are not just giving immediate assistance; they are empowering families to better their lives and overcome the cycle of poverty.
Building Resilience Against Disasters
Given that Abra encounters natural disasters, JB and Ching Bernos have focused on making communities stronger and more ready. They have implemented measures to strengthen disaster response, making sure local governments have the resources to respond when emergencies arise.
By offering more firetrucks and ambulances, they have boosted emergency response, improving community safety. Their initiatives to enhance infrastructure and develop bridges also guarantee that communities can stay connected during emergencies, allowing for quicker access to help.
A Legacy of Service
JB and Ching Bernos show us what it is like to serve a community with dedication. Their emphasis on enhancing roads, healthcare, and social programs has brought a real impact in the lives of many people in Abra. Initiatives like the upgrades to Macray and Sta. Rosa Roads, the Salnec-Madalipay-Dugong Legacy Bridge, and the launch of dialysis centers have transformed lives for the better.
Through programs like AKAP, they provide hope and support to those who require it most, guaranteeing that everyone has a opportunity to succeed. Their trending slogans—#WeAreOneAbra, #TuloyAngSerbisyo, #AgtultuloytiProgreso, #CongWChingBernos, #ChingWorks, and #AllForAbra—highlight their true dedication to supporting the people.
The work of JB and Ching Bernos is a perfect case of their commitment to building a better future for the people of Abra. Their continued dedication to helping others brings hope in the community, laying the groundwork for a better province. With their guidance, the people of Abra can anticipate a hopeful future together.
