Health Check-ups & Free Medicines (Outreach Program)

Many thanks to Unilab, Pharex & Natpharma for donating boxes of medicines and to our outreach partner, Bukluran Outdoor Club & KHA volunteers who spent 3 days in the mountain to provide basic medical & nursing care, health education and other valuable services to the people in Cabuyao & Kilapnit Mangyan communities.  A special thanks to Sir Greg & Nurse Myra for their outstanding commitment as well as to Bahay Kubo Foundation. Volunteers give of their time and money to walk and travel great distances to deliver assistance to people who have no other access to basic health care. On behalf of my constituents touched by this fabulous team of volunteers, we say Thank You!

I can’t even begin to write about all the different experiences I had, people I met, and how much this mission climb changed my life and my perspective on things; living in an urbanized area you really take for granted necessities like clean water, food, medicine, and even electricity.

The team transformed a local school into a triage unit, clinic, and pharmacy over the course of 2 days and saw over 200 patients.

SANDUGO sandals for Mangyan Villagers & Volunteer Teachers

It won’t cost much to give the flip flops but it will make a big difference to the lives of many Mangyan volunteer teachers, sitio leaders and villagers. We take those simple footwears for granted but they are very valuable in making life a bit more comfortable for those people! I would like to give a huge thank you to all those who volunteered to help out. We received 150 pairs of sandals from Sandugo Sandals. Big thanks Sir Greg Galicia, Myra and company. You are all amazing, thanks for the support!

Many pupils and volunteer teachers go to school barefoot because they are unable to buy something that can cost as little as $1 to $3 dollars a pair! The cost of a cup of coffee is even higher!

You might have some friends and relatives in the Philippines who can help promote this project. Please let them know. What are you waiting for? Go raid your shoe cupboard and donate your unwanted flip flops now!
