| Members of the Marinduque International, Inc. from all over the United States and Canada joined the 2nd "Mission of Love" to Marinduque with one common objective - to help those who are in need particularly with their medical problems. Patients came in great numbers determined to see a doctor for their sickness. Their expections were high and dared the sweltering heat and high humidity while mothers carried their infants in their tired arms - some were crying, others fell asleep waiting for their turn to be called for a medical check-up. More than one hundred MI, Inc. missioners and volunteer friends have joined the mission. |
| Some can trace their roots in Marin- duque - as in the case of Dr. Homer Bunag, an ENT specialist from Pitogo, Quezon now residing in Indiana, USA. He has some relatives in Buliasnin, Boac. Prof. Thach Nguyen, a Cardiologist, is a friend of Dr. Rudy Jao who is sympathetic to our great cause. Lee Brent and Elie Baldovino, both nurses, are close friends of Mr. & Mrs. Bernie Jamilla, owner of the "Tahanan Sa Isok" hotel. Missioners and volunteers from the US and Canada stayed with their rela-tives, others stayed in private beach cottages, some availed the facilities in Lupac (Boac) beach cottages courtesy of Governor. Carmencita O. Reyes. |
| Offsite clinics setup in covered courts in Boac, Mogpog, Gasan, and Torrijos were full packed over the course of the day - while Sta. Cruz conducted their clinics in the district hospital. Friday was the last of mission and was held at Buenavista at the municipal compound. About 500 people came and filled up the whole area until 5pm. Most surgeries were done at the Marinduque Provincial Hospital (MPH) as it is more equip with surgical equipments and instruments than the district hospitals in Torrijos and Sta. Cruz. |
