Kalusugan at Kabuhayan: Bedistang
Sagot sa Kahirapan!!!
January 17, 2009
- Quezon City (Barangay Bagong Lipunan ng Crame Q.C.)
Congrats are in
order to SBC Batch GS78/HS82 for a successful first-ever medical/dental
mission under our wellness campaign program. GREAT WORK!!!!
It was a fine cool saturday morning. The weather that day cooperated as it
was windy and cool which facilitated movement of people and made the
environment more conducive.
But before anything else., our heartfelt appreciation to all the
doctor/dentist / nurse volunteers who patiently checked up and issued
prescription to patients - young and old who lined up as early as 730am.
Docs Gus, Voltaire, Vicky Bustos (better half of Atty. Hubert), Rosario (rhonelle's
bro) stayed till the patients were all treated. Walana ngang relyebo wala
pang iwanan talaga!
Our appreciation to our major sponsor the Drugstore Assn of the
Philippines who brought in not just medicines but also pharmacists cum
drugstore owners, to other sponsors like Botika ng Bayan (Phil. Inter'l
Trading Center), Fern-C, etc.
Kudos to all the volunteer angels, I mean nurses (newly grads) brought in
by their papa regie umali. Dami mo scholars ha. he he. A nurse volunteer
from CEU (care of Noel Corpus) also assisted. A medical rep also helped in
the flow of the patients.
Our thanks to our extended bedan family - kids, wives, siblings, etc of
our bedan batchmates who did not just show support but also actively
participated in the event.
And most of all, to all batchmates who graced the occasion by their
presence and active invovlement all throughout the prep and implementation
of the mission. You know who you are.
HATS OFF TO ALL OF US!
Per official figures, there were more than 400+ indigents served that day,
most of whom were children (70-80%). More than 100 patients had their
tooth extracted. And about P200,000 worth of medicines were given out. (Rhonelle,
Bhoyette, please validate this estimate of mine).
The batch spent (from batch funds) about P7,500.00 only to buy additional
multivitamins for children and 1 cidex bottle (sterilization chemical) for
dental services. The actual amount and receipt will be reported later.
This was the only expense we had from our batch.
Because of the massive-turn out, Vice Mayor Herbert invited us to a
meeting this Wed to discuss future joint projects. I was tasked to
represent the batch. And I will report to the batch minutes of the meeting
right after.
Looking forward to more socially-relevant projects!
FOR SAN BEDA, OUR COUNTRY AND GOD!

This
site is only as good as the info we have. We need updates of
our former classmates DEAD or ALIVE. This site will probably
expire by the year 2050. The last surviving person on this
list (shall we say the winner) should maintain this site at
all cost.
