About 100 women from Gainza town in Camarines Sur underwent free HPV DNA testing and breast exam that were available through the initiative of the GMA Kapuso Foundation with the Bicol Medical Center.
According to a “24 Oras” report Friday, among those who availed of the free services was Monica Alabat.Monica was only seven years old when she learned how to make pawid, or roof thatch, from Nipa leaves.For every four feet of thatch, she earns P3, which is not enough to buy medicine for her aching body from working all day.“Lalo sa balakang. Sabi nga eh baka ano, may sakit ka na sa UTI. Hindi ako nakakapagpatingin, sa kahirapan na rin,” she said.
Kasama po namin dito ‘yung mga expert sa breast cancer na nagbibigay po ngayon ng counselling at tuturuan po sila mag self-breast examination,” Dr. Alma Mercurio Dresnan said.The women were also given grocery packs and hygiene kits.“Salamat po sa GMA Kapuso dahil ako po ay hindi talaga nagpapacheck-up. Kayo na rin po ang nagdala sa amin para matignan kami,” Monica said.
