"When I was born, I had two strokes. This left me with epilepsy and weakness on my left side. After years of trying to control my seizures by medicine, the seizures got out of control. After much discussion, my parents decided on getting a hemispherectomy.

Although the surgery was a success as I don’t have seizures anymore, I was diagnosed with Spastic Hemiplegia (a type of CP). The journey has been hard since, but slowly over time I have been able to improve. I have always tried my best when it comes to my Cerebral Palsy and daily life. I go through and do as much as I can each day. In the end, I try not to let my CP get the best of me because I am so much more than that."

Thank you to community members like Julia for reminding us what perseverance looks like. Julia's story reminds us all that we’re so much more than our diagnoses.💚

Bannering the theme, “Iba-Iba Pero Iisa: , the Cerebal Palsy community came together to celebrate the World Cerebral Palsy Day Philippines 2025 at Skydome SM North Edsa on October 16, 2025.

Mr. Rex Grucillo, Assistant Mall Manager of SM North Edsa, warmly welcomed the participants, setting the tone of inclusivity and camaraderie for the celebration.

The event featured a series of knowledge-packed talks to empower families and caregivers with valuable insights on how to best support their loved ones with CP. These talks emphasized that each individual with Cerebral Palsy is unique, and therefore, personalized care and tailored guidance are essential for their development and well-being.

The first talk discussed by Ms. Angelie Fajardo PTRP highlighted the potential of individuals with CP to be more, and to not be defined by the condition. She highlighted the message, “We should be the advocates of our children and our support is very crucial to their development.”

Additional topics discussed during the event included Supporting Healthy Posture in Children with Cerebral Palsy by Ms. Angelica Pineda, PTRP, which focused on techniques to promote proper alignment and reduce discomfort; Feeding and Swallowing in Children with Cerebral Palsy which was presented by Mr. Christopher Adrian Sarmiento, RSLP, providing valuable insights into managing feeding challenges and ensuring proper nutrition; Together We Grow: Building Strength, Confidence, and Community for Children with Cerebral Palsy discussed by Mr. Rafael Nathaniel Mabasa, CPO where he imparted the importance of holistic development, fostering resilience, and cultivating a supportive environment for children with CP; The Role of Orthopedic Surgery in Cerebral Palsy, discussed by Dr. Jane Marie Astorga, MD, DPBO, which provided an overview of surgical options and when they might be beneficial in improving mobility and reducing pain; and Normalized Feeding for Children with Cerebral Palsy by Ms. Jessa Marmol where she highlighted practical approaches to improve feeding experiences and nutritional intake.

The celebration also came alive with performances that brought joy and entertainment to the attendees, featuring acts from Jollibee, as well as performances from Ms. Kate Torres, Ms. Katherine Clemente, and Ms. Khloee Channel Dumawal.

In addition to the informative talks and performances, there were consultation, assessment, and therapy sessions offered to provide personalized guidance and support to equip families and caregivers with practical tools and expert advice on how to effectively manage and care for their children with Cerebral Palsy, ensuring they receive the appropriate interventions to enhance their development and quality of life.

Beyond the valuable knowledge shared, participants took home tokens, gifts, and souvenirs made possible by the organizer and sponsors:

Cefasgph has no funding support from established NGOs or the government, yet we continue to serve as a dedicated organization supported by CP families and private donors.

Though we still face challenges in covering proper fees even transpo for our speakers and medical volunteers, we remain deeply grateful — because God continuously sends us instruments of compassion and expertise.

We are truly blessed to have Dr. Jane Marie Astorga, an inspiring advocate for children with Cerebral Palsy, together with Dr. Maria Pamela Ann Cayanan and Dr. Juan Alejandro Legaspi, who leads their section with dedication and heart. Under their guidance, the team shared valuable knowledge on the vital role of Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeons in the care and rehabilitation of children with CP.

After Dr. Astorga’s lecture, Dr. Cayanan joined her in providing free consultations and assessments to our amazing CP children — bringing hope, healing, and heartfelt care to every family.

Through their service, we are reminded that hope grows when compassion unites us. Together, we give more strength to every CP family — proving that though “Iba-iba tayo, iisa ang ating layunin.”
