EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to amend Republic Act No. 5720, changing the name of 
Camiling General Hospital in Camiling, Tarlac, to GILBERT0 0. TEODORO 
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, as a tribute to a man who together with his family 
contributed generously in the construction, completion and operation of the said 
hospital. 
Camiling District Hospital, which had an unfinished building then, 
started its operation as an out-patient service, routine laboratory examinations 
like CBC, urinalysis and fecalysis on January 16, 1978, where the patients 
predominantly belong to low income families. The unfinished building and 
inadequate equipment and instruments hindered the expansion of its hospital 
services. 
Gilberto 0. Teodoro’s concern for the poor, the ordinary working class 
and government workers in this part of Tarlac has inspired him and his family to 
work for the completion of the unfinished hospital building in 1979 and in the 
succeeding years, thus making the CAMILING EMERGENCY HOSPITAL fully 
operational by 1981 to benefit the people from the western towns of Tarlac 
namely Camiling, Mayantoc, Sta. Ignacia and San Clemente. 
Through the years, he had donated equipment, medical supplies, and 
medicines to benefit the indigent patients of the hospital. Through his 
foundation, the Camiling General Hospital is in the process of expanding its 
surgical capability through the construction of a new Operating Room Complex. 
Gilberto 0. Teodoro had a great influence on the people of Tarlac as a man 
of genuine service, personal integrity and moral rectitude. With the knowledge 
that he served as a standard for public servants, and had been a part of Camiling 
District Hospital for thirty (30) years, it is just fitting for a hospital to carry such 
name. 
This bill is a humble tribute to a person whose life as a public servant 
continues to inspire and to serve as pleasant memories to his fellow Tarlaquerios. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly 
sought. 
FRANCIS G. ESCUDERO
