PCSO completes historic 100% nationwide PTV rollout

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has completed the nationwide distribution of Patient Transport Vehicles (PTVs) to all 82 provinces in the Philippines, fulfilling a directive from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The final batch of 34 PTVs was handed over in San Fernando, Pampanga, marking the culmination of a government-led initiative aimed at improving emergency medical access. This achievement brings the total number of PTVs distributed nationwide to 1,830, with PCSO having previously achieved 100% coverage at the city and municipal level earlier in 2025. The initiative aligns with the Marcos administration's focus on expanding essential services to remote and underserved areas, emphasizing equitable access to healthcare. PCSO General Manager Melquiades A. Robles highlighted the effort as a realization of the president's vision to ensure emergency medical care is available to all Filipinos, regardless of location.
