ANTIPOLO CITY, Rizal - Locals of Pililla, Rizal can now have their medications and other drugstore products delivered through the Better Med program.
The initiative devised by the Pililla Municipal Government and members of Progresibong Kababaihan ng Pililla (PKP) recently started operating on March 31 and pools local requests to buy medications and other products such as diapers and infant milk which are not available in drugstores within the town and then deliver them to stakeholders.
Better Med does not charge delivery fees and designates one rider per barangay to gather orders, purchase and delivery house-to-house or meet up at the nearest landmark in order to keep locals within their homes amidst the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon.
The LGU adds however only orders for medicine, infant milk and diapers will be entertained.

Local drugstores will also be called beforehand to check if listed orders are available for purchase within the town.
Mobile numbers of riders for barangays Bagumbayan, Imatong, Halayhayin, Hulo, Malaya, Niogan, Quisao, Takungan and Wawa are listed at the LGU's Better Pililla Facebook Page.
Requests are received by local riders from 6:00AM to 11:00AM while deliveries are carried out from 1:00PM to 5:00PM.
Locals are required to prepare their prescriptions, Government ID or proof of residency, Senior/PWD IDs & booklets (if applicable), discount cards (if available) and, cash and place them in a plastic or envelope marked with their names.
Better Med riders are also equipped with disinfectant, gloves and facemasks for the safety of both the rider and the public.
Netizens of Pililla commended the LGU for the innovative service through social media.
Meanwhile, the municipal government also thanks PKP and other volunteers for rising to the occasion as 8 out of the 11 riders are women. (PIA-RIZAL with reports from Better Pililla Facebook Page/Municipality of Pililla)
