DZMM’s TLC clinicWHILE people lined up for free medical checkups, ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio played teacher to 30 children in a tent beside the classroom on wheels in DZMM’s Teaching Learning Caring (TLC) clinic-on-wheels and classroom-on-wheels project.

Santos-Concio, together with ABS-CBN Manila Radio division head Peter Musngi and DZMM anchors Ted Failon, Ariel Ureta and Bernadette Sembrano, were in Angono, Rizal that November with a group of volunteer doctors and teachers for the first outing of DZMM TLC.

DZMM TLC aims to promote health and spark the children’s interest in learning in areas devastated by typhoon Ondoy. It is a spin-off of “Kapamilya, Shower Na,” a mobile shower for typhoon victims conceptualized by Failon last year. The outpouring support from “Kapamilya, Shower Na” donors paved the way for the construction of TLC’s clinic-on-wheels and classroom-onwheels.

DZMM has partnered with doctor societies and hospitals for the free medical consultations for up to 300 residents per area visited, and publishing houses and bookstores for the books and storytellers for the classroom-on-wheels. Aside from these activities, there will also be film showings, talks, and a soup kitchen-style feeding program in every TLC outing.

TLC also went to Marikina City with “TV Patrol” anchor Noli de Castro as the storyteller.

Take part in DZMM TLC by donating useable children’s books, school supplies, toiletries, medicines and educational toys. For more info, call Zaldy Naguit at 924-4101 or 924-4122 loc. 5674.
