The Taguig City government has taken a stance to provide essential healthcare services to the residents of enlisted men’s barrios or “embos”. The embos are the people who find themselves without access to healthcare facilities following the sudden closure of Makati’s health centers. The dispute between the two cities involved the backdrop of legal decisions, administrative back-and-forths, and a growing concern for the well-being of the affected residents.

The services are offered to more than 330 individuals grappling with diabetes and hypertension. This initiative marked the city’s observance of World Diabetes Day, which took place on 14 November 2023. It underscores the crucial need for awareness and proactive healthcare measures.
