A Historic Milestone for Philippine Surgery 🕊️🔍

The opening and blessing of the PCS Museum and Education Center marked a monumental moment in the history of Filipino surgery.

More than a physical space, the Center stands as a living testament to the Philippine College of Surgeons’ unwavering commitment to surgical excellence, lifelong learning, and nation-building. It honors the rich and enduring legacy of the College while inspiring future generations to advance the craft with integrity, compassion, and purpose.

The PCS Cancer Commission Foundation proudly joined this historic celebration, represented by our Executive Board—
🟣 Dr. Catherine SC Teh, Chairperson
🟣 Dr. Rhoel De Leon, Director
🟣 Dr. Juvie Villaflor, Director
🟣 Dr. Manuel Francisco Roxas, Chairman Emeritus

Their presence reaffirmed our shared mission: to elevate quality cancer care, strengthen surgical education, and champion the Filipino patient through innovation, collaboration, and heart.

Congratulations to the Philippine College of Surgeons on this transformative milestone.

This museum is not just a home for our past—it is a beacon shaping the future of surgery and cancer care in the Philippines. 💜✨

This Bonifacio Day, we honor the bravery of those who fought for our nation’s freedom — and draw strength from their legacy to continue our modern fight: the pursuit of quality cancer care for every Filipino.

Just as Bonifacio and his fellow heroes rose with courage and conviction, we, too, rise together — doctors, advocates, patients, and families — to build a future where no Filipino faces cancer alone.

💙 Ang tapang ni Bonifacio, inspirasyon sa ating laban para sa buhay at kalusugan.

💜 In Every Story, There is Hope — And a Call to Care.

The PCS Cancer Commission Foundation is humbled to share this heartfelt Hope From Within interview featuring two compassionate voices at the forefront of cancer advocacy: Dr. Doris R. Benavides, PCS CanCom Director, and Ms. Tefel Pesigan-Valentino, our Executive Director.

🎥 Watch the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19twB2hGty/

In this deeply human exchange, they speak not just as experts — but as advocates, mothers, daughters, and Filipinos who have seen the realities of cancer up close.

Their message is simple yet powerful:
✨ No one should face cancer alone.
✨ Early detection can save lives.
✨ Access to proper care is every Filipino’s right.
✨ Compassion and community make the journey lighter.

May this video remind us that behind every statistic is a life, a family, a dream worth fighting for.

Let us continue to stand together — with empathy, courage, and unwavering commitment to a future where every Filipino has hope, healing, and quality cancer care.

Behind every lung cancer diagnosis is a family, a story, a fight for more time.
But hope grows stronger when we move together.

Reflecting the words of Dr. Racel Ireneo Luis C. Querol of PATACSI:
“Lung cancer control begins with awareness—and it starts with all of us.”

This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we honor patients and families, support healthcare teams, and call for:
🔹 Greater awareness of symptoms
🔹 Early and risk-based screening
🔹 Faster, coordinated referral pathways
🔹 Person-centered, compassionate care

At PCS CanCom, we believe no Filipino should face lung cancer alone.
💙 Together, we can change the course of this disease.

💙🌬 This November, we breathe hope. 🌬💙

As we mark Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the PCS Cancer Commission Foundation stands united with advocates, survivors, and health professionals in raising awareness, breaking stigma, and advancing access to early detection, diagnosis, and quality care for all Filipinos.

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer deaths — yet early detection and timely treatment can save lives. Together, we can change the story through education, collaboration, and compassion-driven cancer care.

Let’s work toward a Philippines where every breath counts — where prevention, screening, and person-centered care are within everyone’s reach. 💙
