Another meaningful day of service and learning for our OB-GYN residents during our monthly community rotation at Brgy. Vista Alegre.

This month’s focus: Preeclampsia, which is a critical contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. Through community immersion, our residents strengthened their role not only as clinicians but as primary maternal health advocates, actively identifying high-risk versus low-risk pregnancies and ensuring timely interventions and referrals.

Prenatal consultations were conducted for both returning and newly identified patients, reinforcing continuity of care and early risk detection within the community setting.

This initiative reflects our commitment to bridging hospital-based expertise with grassroots maternal care.

Congratulations to our Level 2 Resident, Dr. Toni Marie H. Chavez!

Her work, “Ascending Paralysis Revealing Metastatic Uterine Sarcoma,”
was accepted for poster presentation and successfully presented at the 41st Korean Society of Gynecologic Oncology International Conference 2026 in Seoul, South Korea last April 3-4, 2026.

In the world of academic medicine, a poster presentation is never “just a poster.”
It is a rigorous intellectual filter where thousands of submissions are critically reviewed, refined, and selected based on scientific merit, relevance, and global contribution.

Beyond the presentation, Dr. Chavez actively participated in international research workshops and peer review collaborations, working alongside researchers from different countries and being mentored by leading Korean consultants in gynecologic oncology research. Even within our local context, we can produce work that stands on the international stage.

Our sincere gratitude to:
• Adventist Medical Center-Bacolod Administration – for steadfast support in our residents’ growth and learning
• Dr. Martha Parroco – for mentorship and guidance in this rare and complex case
• Dr. MJ Sabig – for leadership, facilitation, and unwavering support of our residents

Congratulations, Dr. Chavez!
Your work reminds us that excellence is cultivated through discipline, mentorship, and a genuine love for learning.

Serving Women, Empowering Communities

In celebration of Women’s Month, the Department of OB-GYN successfully conducted a Medical Mission at CHMSU – Alijis Branch, in partnership with BAMC Pool of Bethesda and Medical Team.

We were blessed to serve 140 participants, including faculty, students, and community members—each encounter an opportunity to educate, screen, and care.

Our OB-GYN team, composed of 13 dedicated doctors (7 consultants, 4 residents, and 2 interns), worked together to deliver comprehensive women’s health services. Highlights of the mission included:
• 11 Pap smears for cervical cancer screening
• 21 HIV screenings
• Numerous consultations addressing various gynecologic and reproductive health concerns

We were also enriched by insightful lectures:
🎤 Dr. Marc Capunong – Cervical Cancer Screening
🎤 Dr. Toni Chavez – Menopause
🎤 Dr. Shantyl Rufino – Teenage Pregnancy & Family Planning

Above all, we give glory to God for the success of this mission—especially for the favorable weather and the opportunity to serve with purpose and compassion.

To more missions like this—bringing care closer to women, one community at a time.

Chairman’s Bedside Rounds incorporated the mini-CEX (Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise) as part of resident assessment.

The mini-CEX is a structured, workplace-based assessment tool designed to evaluate clinical competence in real clinical settings.

The emphasis is formative, aimed at refining clinical judgment and performance during real patient care.

Our Level 1 OB-GYN residents conducted health education lectures in our adopted community in Prk. Arao, Vista Alegre. The session focused on two core maternal health topics: Anemia in Pregnancy and Family Planning.

The activity formed part of their community exposure training, allowing them to apply clinical knowledge in a public health setting. Through this engagement, the residents practiced communicating medical information in clear, culturally appropriate language while supporting preventive health efforts within the community.

Abnormal bleeding is one of the most common reasons women stop using the etonogestrel implant—even though it is one of our most effective contraceptive options.

The IMPLANET trial provides strong evidence that a short course of Norethisterone Acetate (10 mg daily) can safely and effectively stop prolonged bleeding in implant users. In this randomized controlled trial, nearly 9 out of 10 women stopped bleeding within 7 days, compared to less than half who received placebo. Bleeding also stopped faster, giving women more bleeding-free days in the first month.

Importantly, the treatment was well-tolerated, used in a simple outpatient setting, and supports better counseling, continuation, and confidence in implant use. While bleeding may recur later, this approach offers a practical, evidence-based option to manage a common concern—helping women continue a method that works.

Our heartfelt appreciation to our OB-GYN resident, Dr. Toni Marie H. Chavez, for her outstanding effort, perseverance, and commitment in presenting this unique case entitled, “Ascending Paralysis Revealing Metastatic Uterine Sarcoma.” Indeed, not all neurologic symptoms are neurologic in origin, and not all gynecologic symptoms follow the same rules—a reminder of how humbling and complex our work can be.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to her mentor, Dr. Martha Isabel Parroco, for her guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support.

Above all, we thank God for His goodness, strength, and grace that continue to sustain and empower us in every challenge and victory. To God be the glory!
