Kapuso program 'Ilaban Natin 'Yan' extends help to the medical frontliners of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) by offering free rides via two modern jeeps provided by Yellowdot Transport Terminal, Inc.

One of the two modern jeeps is the Palaban Express, the vehicle that is used in the program 'Ilaban Natin 'Yan'.

The Palaban Express goes to different barangays to serve as a traveling confessional for people who want to seek help for their family problems or issues in their community. It will now be used to service medical frontliners of PGH.

Ilaban Natin 'Yan offers free rides for PGH frontliners

The free rides for PGH frontliners began today, April 6, and will continue for the next two Mondays. The weekly free rides to and from PGH have two routes: one from Starmall Alabang and another from SM Fairview.

How to avail of free ride

PGH frontliners may hail the vehicle along the route and present their PGH ID to avail of the free ride offered by 'Ilaban Natin 'Yan'.

Upon boarding, passengers are required to sign the manifest using their own ballpen, indicating the time and place of boarding. After which, they shall sanitize their hands.

Both passengers and drivers must wear face masks and observe physical distancing during the free ride. If a passenger needs to alight at a stop other than the PGH, they will be required to indicate time and place of disembarkation in the manifest.

Offering free rides to PGH frontliners is the program's meaningful way of supporting them in being 'palaban' against COVID-19.
