Why Tarangnan, Western Samar?
Tarangnan, Western Samar in the Philippines is a coastal municipality where distance, difficult transportation, and limited access to specialty care can delay needed medical, surgical, and dental services. Tarangnan is officially classified as a 3rd-class municipality, reflecting limited local revenue and fiscal space for health and social services. It is also located in Samar, the province with the highest poverty incidence in Eastern Visayas - making focused outreach especially meaningful for families with the fewest resources and the greatest barriers to care.

Through Alay ng Puso sa Tarangnan 2027, USTNAI, in partnership with the Local Government Unit of the Municipality of Tarangnan and our sponsors, will provide free medical, surgical, and dental consultations and services, health screening and education, essential medicines and supplies, and humanitarian assistance. The mission will also promote early detection, prevention, and appropriate referral for patients needing continued care.
For the first time in an Alay ng Puso mission, a youth pickleball clinic will be included. More than recreation, this accessible and engaging sport can encourage regular physical activity, teamwork, confidence, social connection, stress relief, and positive mental well-being, giving young people a healthy outlet and a fun way to build lifelong wellness habits.
