Her condition at the Makati Medical Center was reported as stable. 5) At the middle of the meeting, Mr. & Mrs. Robert Aventajado arrived and greeted the group. The couple invited the missioners to a hearty lunch at the St. Clair Monestary in Mogpog. 6) Treasurer's report: Dave and Macrine Katague acted as treasurer in the absence of Joyce. Dave was designated to be in charge of collecting receipts and paying the necessary expenses incurred by the mission. Final tally of expenses will be reported at the next meeting. 7) The group was informed that the six missing boxes of medicine were impounded by customs and five thousand pesos was paid before they could be released. These boxes were sent via Manila Air Cargo from Chicago. These medicines will be distributed through the office of Efren Labay, with priorities over the pharmacy of the hospital and the Puericulture Centers. The group decided that since Efren Labay is the Provincial Health Officer, he will be delegated to distribute the medicines based on each towns' needs. Rudy Jao requested Efren Labay to submit a report on the distribution of medicines. 8) Feedback on the medical mission were as follows: a) Macrine - "The mission was a great success. We reached a great number of truly needy folks". She recommended that if we were to have another mission, it should be held during January or February when it's not too hot. She informed the group that so far, the food situation is satisfactory, but our budget may not be enough. She also requested that the surgical team of Freddy Ng be brought food at the hospital since they were still performing surgeries that day. Aida Mariposque, sister of Rudy Jao, was assigned in bringing the food to the hospital. b) Efren Labay - He thanked everyone for a great and unselfish job, well done. The missioners expressed their appreciation, thanks, and gratitude to the hospital staff and health officers who joined and volunteered their time to serve in the six towns where the missions were held. Efren Labay willingly accepted the responsibility of distributing the medical supplies still to come from Manila. c) Hector Sulit - He expressed his disatisfaction ofhaving only one microscope to work with, which was not even in good working condition. He reported that they performed 30 cataracts and 19 pterydiums. His group could have done more if they had more microscopes. He recommended that local ophthalmologists be sent to Manila for training and later return to Boac to care for our local patients. His team of surgeons included Dr. Benjie Senador, Dr. Ferdie Atenza, Dr. Raymund Sulit, Dr. Lea Sulit, and Dr. Alex Olivares.
