Roger,
I finally learned how to send you pictures in bunch. I will be sending you the pictures taken during our EMM 2013. Here is a summary of the number of patients seen.
l. Barangay Maravilla Ext. (3-4-13 ) ------------- 145 patients
2. Barangay Lopez (3-6-13 ) ----------------------- 111 patients
3. Barangay Torre 1st (3-8-13 ) ------------------- 87 patients

7. Pogonlomboy clinic (March 2013) ------------ 250 patients
_________
TOTAL ----- 1,054 patients
No surgeries were done during this time. I was told that the governor temporarily suspended surgeries of cases seen during our EMM because of the national elections last May, 2013. Dr. Posadas told me that she will do the surgeries after the elections. I still do not have the surgical report of the screened cases up to this time.
Fifteen balikbayan boxes of used clothes, books, shoes, children toys school supplies, etc were donated to the needy in our town that I personally distributed during our eye medical missions and going to the different barangays. Donors are:
l. CWL of Mississauga (Toronto ) c/o Teresa and Oscar Olegario --------- 3 jumbo boxes
2. AMOR Toronto paid for the shipping of the boxes from the CWL of Mississauga. Donated four
hundred dollars for our EMM. AMOR President Ming Villanueva visited us during our EMM in Brgy Torre 1st.
3. Estrella Rosario-Velasco - donated one Balikbayan box.
(Estrella passed away last July 17, 2013)
4. Friends of Fil and Josie Olegario from Henderson and Las Vegas ----- 11 balikbayan boxes
Participants during our mission.
l. MHS class 59 members - Ely Solis Sangalang, Edna Bajo, Leticia Pulido-Abad, Norma Bato-Casuga,
Antonio Frias, Rogelio Orduna, Fernando Mendoza, Geronimo Mondala and Martin Saura

Our next EMM will be on December, 2013, January/Feb 2014.
