Health sector cannot stand on its own. In order for the team to be successful in its pursuit of providing an improved health care system in the community, it established strong linkages with government and non-government organizations. For starters, we coordinated with the local government unit to allocate a percentage of the supplemental budget of the municipality to the health plans of the group.
Headed by Mayor Bolando, the LGU sees great potential in the projects proposed- water filter and habalulance (habal-habal ambulance).
Note mentioning, the mayor looks forward to adopting the said projects to other barangays in the area. This way, the health care system established in a small barangay would be a model to the rest and will therefore be of benefit to more people all over the municipality.

of obstacles and scarifices
The path we have chosen, admittedly, would demand much more from us. Days, weeks or even months would pass before we get to see our family and loved ones.
The familiar comforts of the city, which many of us are used to, would be replaced by the rugged unknown of the 5th and 6th class municipalities which would be our home for the next few weeks.
Living on our own whilst serving the underserved are two difficult tasks.
Our daily activities involve having to wake up early to cook our meals and clean the house, walk miles to do house-to-house, tally the data, implement our programs and go home only to find piles of used clothes still to be washed. At night, we are deprived of a soft mattress and good ventilation. This means insect bites and uncomfortable sleep. But fret not, another stressful day awaits.
Needless to day, it would entail not only mental struggle but also emotional and physical sacrifices as well.
It would not be easy. Never will it be. But in the end, we like to believe it will be worth it.

Better health for the people in the barrios
Good health is the most important factor that should be considered when one has to improve the standard of living of every Filipino family.
We should be one with the government and non-government institutions in its goal to make healthcare more accessible to the Filipino people. We feel privileged to be given the opportunity to partner with the government in this endeavor and be a part of the solution to the problems of healthcare in the country.
Countries cannot release the full talents of their people unless they have healthy bodies.

catalysts for change
It's not about us.
It has never been about us and the things we have done for the community. To say we are the agents of change would be a pretense, if not hypocrisy.
The cry for change is and has always been within them. It may not be readily apparent but it's there. We are mere catalysts, the agents are the PEOPLE THEMSELVES.

more than just a community exposure..
To gain insight into the life of the indigenous people in the community, and be able to completely understand and help them, ONE MUST FIRST LIVE THE WAY THEY DO.
Not just merely knowing what the kinds of food they prefer but learning to eat with them; or not simply be familiar with their beliefs, but become skilled with their practices; and not only to be acquainted with their misconceptions, but affirm that these really are fallacies, making the first step to bring all of these to a halt.
