The appointment of Dr. Herbert Quilon Carpio as World Vision Development Foundation, Inc. (WVDF)’s new National Director comes as the organization renews and strengthens this fiscal year its commitment to address the most pressing child well-being issues of children in the country.

“The voices of the children are the most important validation that we can receive, and we should be building upon that. We should extend compassion not just for our beneficiaries but for all stakeholders as well, most especially to the members of the World Vision family,”

“What good does it do to treat people’s illnesses only to send them back to the conditions that made them sick?” said Dr. Carpio while sharing that “Every single thing, the economy, poverty, education of the parents, even the education of a child, it affects the health, welfare, wellbeing of the patient.

So that is why I am here right now, and that is why I have devoted 17 years of my life in working in social welfare and development, not just health.”
