Yesterday was a truly momentous day for the Philippine Cancer Society, Inc.! 🎗️✨

We officially celebrated the Inauguration and Blessing of the new Helen M. Ong Patient Services and Multi-Purpose Hall in San Miguel, Manila. This beautiful milestone was made possible through the unwavering support of the Best Dressed Women of the Philippines.

The day was filled with hope and gratitude, starting with a warm welcome from PCS Chairperson Mrs. Emily Abrera and a special message from Congresswoman Hon. Caroline Lim Tanchay. We were deeply moved by the powerful words of breast cancer survivor Natividad "Betty" Senador and the uplifting performances from the Child Haus Children.

Following a beautiful blessing by Fr. Alex Vitualla, Consul Helen M. Ong led the ribbon-cutting and marker unveiling alongside our esteemed guests and medical leaders.

This new facility is more than just a building; it is a beacon of hope and care for cancer patients and their families. Thank you to everyone who joined us in taking this incredible step forward! 🕊️🤍
