๐ Bungo II, Gapan, Nueva Ecija
PCC-SOM medical students, participated in the โCompassion in Action 2026 Medical, Dental, Optical, and Evangelistic Missionโ in collaboration with the Covenant Grace Community of Gapan, Nueva Ecija, the Baguio Everlasting Lions Club, the Baguio SLU-SOM Lions Club, and the Door of Faith Choice of Gapan CP.
As one of the first major outreach missions of the PCC-SOM Lions Club outside Baguio City, the event became a meaningful milestone for the organization and its members. During the medical mission proper, students rotated across different service areas, actively assisting and providing care to patients under proper guidance and supervision. The circumcision drive, together with the surgical and medical services, was guided by Dr. DJ Diaz, while the Ophthalmology services were guided by Dr. Joanne Balderas.
The mission successfully catered to more than 500 patients, including approximately 50 patients served during the circumcision drive. More than just a clinical experience, the mission became a powerful opportunity for students to apply the skills and training they had prepared for over the past weeks. It strengthened their confidence, teamwork, and commitment to compassionate service while igniting a deeper passion for community-centered healthcare.
Through every consultation, procedure, and interaction, the mission embodied what it truly means to serve with compassion in action. ๐๐ฆ
