BAYOG MARKS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH THROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTIVITY๐ŸŽ€

The Municipal Government of Bayog, in support of community health initiatives, successfully conducted a breast cancer awareness and medical consultation activity on October 24, 2026, at the Bayog Municipal Gymnasium.

The activity was organized by the Kumbati ZamPen Cancer Support Group, Inc., in cooperation with the Bayog Rural Health Unit and the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Society.

The activity aimed to promote breast cancer awareness, encourage early consultation and detection, and provide accessible healthcare services to the community.

The program formally opened with a welcome address from Dra. Gretchen A. Dubrico, Municipal Health Officer, who warmly welcomed the participants, partner organizations, and healthcare professionals. She expressed her gratitude for the strong community support and emphasized the significance of collective efforts in raising breast cancer awareness and promoting womenโ€™s health.

Services and activities included:

๐ŸŽ€ Breast Cancer Awareness and Clinical Breast Examination โ€“ Dra. Normita Lucero-Talip discussed breast cancer awareness and emphasized the importance of breast self-examination and early detection.

๐Ÿฉบ Free Medical Consultation โ€“ Dr. Robert Capatoy and Dr. Mark Loid Lucero-Anlap provided medical consultations to participants.

๐Ÿฉธ Health Screening Services โ€“ With the support of sponsors and stakeholders, including UNILAB, selected screening services were made available, including fasting blood sugar (FBS), uric acid, cholesterol, and hemoglobin testing.

During the activity, Municipal Mayor Celso A. Matias, represented by SB Member Hon. Teody A. Matias, expressed the local government's full support for collaborative healthcare initiatives. He emphasized that early consultation is important for everyone not only for women and encouraged individuals experiencing symptoms or other health concerns to seek prompt medical attention. As he reminded everyone: Early detection saves lives.

Meanwhile, Hon. Alona Labrador, Sangguniang Bayan Member and Chairperson of the Committee on Health, highlighted the importance of seeking early consultation rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen, emphasizing that timely assessment can facilitate appropriate treatment and improve health outcomes.

The activity concluded with closing remarks from Maโ€™am Betty Jane Liguan, RN, who expressed her appreciation to the organizers, partner institutions, healthcare professionals, sponsors, and participants for their contributions to the successful conduct of the activity.

The Municipal Government of Bayog and the Bayog Rural Health Unit extend their sincere appreciation to the Kumbati Zampen Cancer Support Group Inc., the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Society, UNILAB, and all participating healthcare professionals and stakeholders for their valuable partnership and support.

Through collaborative efforts and continued community engagement, we remain committed to promoting health awareness, encouraging timely consultation, and strengthening efforts toward early detection and disease prevention.

2. SEEK EARLY CONSULTATION
Sayo magpa konsulta sa pinakadoul nga Health Center o Hospital kung kita nay ginabati nga sintomas sama sa Hilanat sulod sa 3 ka-adlaw, rashes ug sakit sa ulo.

3. SECURE SELF PROTECTION
Siguradohon ang pag protekta sa pamilya ug kaugalingon pinaagi sa pag gamit og insect repellant ug mosquito net, ug sa pag sout og longsleeves.

4. SUPPORT FOGGING (kung kinahanglan)
Atong suportahan ang ginhimong pamaagi sa gobyerno sa fogging ug spraying kung ang isa ka lugar kay adunay taas nga kaso aron malikayan sa sakit nga dala sa lamok.

5. SUSTAIN HYDRATION
Kanunayon ang pag inom ug tubig aron malikayan ang dehydration.

Magtinabangay ta para malikayan ang dengue! ๐Ÿ’ช
