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.
