individual and one of which is PSP- Puluy-an sang pagpalangga and is now known for
Roxas City Crisis Center it is located at the old PNP station in Brgy. Inzo Roxas City. The

the shelter and its facilities. The foods are supplied by the roxas city kitchen. In terms of
health the RCCC is also affliated with the CHO for medical assistance, vitamins and
medicines in shelter.
