Advocates for the prevention of cervical cancer came to my office for a courtesy call and I was so enlighthened by their explanation that this type of cancer can be prevented through proper information and immunization. Although a little bit expensive, vaccines are now available to prevent cervical cancer, the cause of which is virus. The group called Brave Hearts was spearheaded by Former Miss Philippines Abigail Arenas-De Leon and Dr. Cecilia Ladines-Llave, Head of the Philippine General Hospital Cancer Institute. The group sponsored a lay forum and chose Vigan as the venue for the kick-off of the TOUR OF HOPE, a fun bike covering Vigan City, San Fernando, La Union, Urdaneta and Subic. The activity hopes to raise awareness on the preventon of cancer.
