IN ITS 4^TH YEAR, “OPERATION TULI” WAS ORGANIZED AND HELD ON APRIL 18, 2013 IN MARIVELES HEROES HALL, POBLACION, MARIVELES, BATAAN.  REGISTRATION STARTED AT 8:00AM AND THE ACTIVITY LASTED UNTIL 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. IT WAS FACILITATED BY IMPC’S HARD-WORKING MANAGER, MARILOU ALMARIO AND ITS DEDICATED BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN COOPERATION WITH MARIVELES HEALTH OFFICE HEADED BY DR.
