"Public service is more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It is a complete dedication to the people and to the nation."
- Margaret Chase Smith

CONGRATULATIONS to the Mother of CCGS-TP, DR. MICHELLE CHUNGAIT-PAYAGEN for being awarded as one of THE MOST OUTSTANDING ALUMNA OF BAGUIO CITY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL FOR PUBLIC SERVICE!

We hope and pray that we, young CCGS surgeons, under your mentorship, follow in your footsteps as we embark on our own paths in real public service similar to yours, one which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is built on sincerity and integrity.

🌸 Empowering Women,
One Check-Up at a Time! 🌸

In honor of National Women’s Month, the Cordillera Consortium General Surgery Training Program (CCGSTP) at Benguet General Hospital recently joined forces with some of the most prestigious surgical institutions in the country.
Spearheaded by the Association of Women Surgeons of the Philippines (AWSP) and the Philippine College of Surgeons (PCS) - Cancer Commission, this activity was dedicated to education, early detection, and empowerment. Through our collaborative lay fora and clinical breast examinations, we are putting women’s health at the forefront of our mission.

"Early detection remains our best defense. By bringing these services directly to the people, we bridge the gap between fear and proactive health management."

Together, we continue to build a stronger network of care and ensure that every woman has access to the life-saving information she deserves.

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
— Nelson Mandela

Dear friends, as we reflect on this year’s ups and downs, the challenges we faced, and the beautiful surprises along the way—what once seemed truly impossible—we now pause with full hearts.
We made it. Together.

With deep gratitude and joy, let’s celebrate how far we’ve come and finish this year strong, wrapped in hope for all that’s ahead.

Happy new year! God bless and God speed!
