BUTUAN CITY — Ferly Parcon, a 39-year-old Person with Disability (PWD) from Barangay Florida, expressed immense gratitude as government services arrived directly in her community through the ButuanOn Wheels program on August 8, 2026. "It is really difficult for me to go to the city center because our barangay is far and transportation is expensive. That is why I am very grateful that the government services were brought here to us," Ferly shared. She was delighted to receive health services through the program, which aims to bring government services closer to communities in need.
16th ButuanOn Wheels Brings Comprehensive Services to Five Barangays
This marks the 16th ButuanOn Wheels initiative, which delivered a wide range of services to five barangays: Florida, Maguinda, Maibu, Sumile, and Mandamo. Services included free medical check-ups, dental check-ups and tooth extraction, free spaying and neutering for pets, distribution of seedlings and plants, assistance with PSA birth certificate requests, and business permit processing. Through the program, residents find it easier to seek help and access the services they need, especially those living in barangays far from the city center.
A Collaborative Effort to Reach Every Community
The ButuanOn Wheels program was conducted in partnership with various government agencies, partner organizations, barangay officials, volunteers, and stakeholders to ensure that more services directly reach the community. By bringing essential services closer to residents, the initiative addresses the challenges of distance and transportation costs, making government assistance more accessible to all. The program reflects the city's commitment to inclusive and responsive public service, ensuring that no community is left behind.
