The mission has concluded, but the spirit of Bayanihan is stronger than ever! Last Thursday night, a grand Appreciation Night was held to honor the selfless service of the Medical Mission of Mercy(MMOM) USA Team.
This memorable evening was graciously hosted by the Municipal Government of Ibajay, led by Mayor Miguel Miraflores, the Provincial Government of Aklan, under Governor Jose Enrique "Jo-en" Miraflores Jr., and the 2nd Congressional District Office of Congressman Florencio "Joeben" Miraflores.
This celebration highlighted the powerful collaboration between our local, provincial, and congressional leaders alongside our international and local partners. It was a tribute to the collective effort that resulted in 1,647 lives changed through surgical, dental, and optometry care.
To the MMOM USA Team: You crossed oceans to bring healing to our community. Ibajay and the entire province of Aklan will always remember your kindness and world-class expertise.
To Gov. Jo-en Miraflores Jr. & the Provincial Government: Thank you for your vital support and for ensuring our guests experienced the very best of Aklanon hospitality.
To Cong. Joeben Miraflores & the 2nd Congressional District Office: Thank you for your commitment to public health and your generous sponsorship of this missionโs success.
To Mayor Miguel Miraflores & the Municipal Government: Thank you for hosting a beautiful evening that allowed us to say "Maabo gid nga saeamat" in the most heartfelt way.
The atmosphere was filled with joy as we transitioned from the operating rooms to a celebration of fellowship. Our guests enjoyed the food, the rondalla serenade of Ibajay Integrated School, the cultural dance presented by the Ibajay Academy Dance Troupe, the festive dances of the Ondoy National High School and the warm smiles that define Ibajaynon hospitality.
"When leaders and volunteers unite, the entire community heals."
To the MMOM USA Team: As you return home, you leave behind a healthier Ibajay and carry with you the eternal gratitude of the Aklanon people. Safe travels, and we look forward to your return!
