MR. MELVIN MIRANDA,

NATIONAL PRESIDENT,
PHILIPPINE NURSES ASSOCIATION,
MALATE, MANILA

DEAR SIR,

IN CONNECTION WITH MY MEMBERSHIP IN PNA, AS LIFETIME MEMBER, ME I INVOKE MY

PREVILEGE TO AVAIL OF WHATEVER BENEFITS I AM ENTITLED TO.
MY NAME IS ROLANDO A. SORONEL, A LIFETIME MEMBER OF PNA. I'M SURE YOU STILL
REMEMBER ME. I SUFFERED AN AMPUTATION OF MY RIGHT LEG BELOW THE KNEE, DUE TO
DIABETES. I HAD THE OPERATION LAST JANUARY OF 2021. SINCE THEN, I HAD SEVERAL
ATTEMPTS TO REQUEST OUR OFFICERS OF PNA HERE IN CALBAYOG CITY, WESTERN SAMAR,
BUT TO NO AVAIL. SO I LOST HOPE OF AVAILING ANY BENEFITS THEREOF. JUST VERY RECENTLY,
MY GOOD FRIEND CIRIACO TY, ADVISED ME TO WRITE A LETTER OF REQUEST, ADDRESS TO
YOUR OFFICE AND HE WILL BE THE ONE TO FOLLOW UP AS HE IS JUST IN METRO MANILA.
BECAUSE OF THIS ENCOURAGEMENT IT REVIVES MY HOPE. I AM ALSO REMINDED OF THE FACT
THAT YOU ARE NOW THE PRESIDENT OF PNA, AND YOU KNOW ME.
BY NOW, BEING A CHRONICALLY DIABETIC DAILY. I AM TAKING MY MAINTENANCE AND SOME
OTHER MEDICATIONS. I LOST MY JOB SINCE MY OPERATION. SO, NO INCOME FROM
WHATEVER SOURCES. NO ASSISTANCE RECEIVED FROM THE GOVERNMENT. NOTHING
RECEIVED EVEN FOR MY DISABILITY AS A MEMBER OF GSIS. I AM STILL 58 YEARS OLD, SO NO
PENSION OR LUMPSUM FROM GSIS.
YOUR HELP TO FACILITATE THIS REQUEST IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
