Dear Doc Ed,
Thank you very much, Dr. Ed and to your family for the help, support and guidance (in our native language “ang kulit mo, pare”) to have our PMASC organization fulfilled one of its mission, under my present leadership, “to give free services for humanitarian cause”, especially to our underprivileged “kababayans” back in the Philippines.
Your knowledge and experience, despite your difficulties, brought these medical missions a success. “Love you parekoy”.
And to all our volunteers, from the bottom of my heart “thank you so much for being there”.
We’ll see you in our next mission.
Sincerely,
Dr. Warren Gabrillo III
PMASC President 2024-2025
