Congratulations and our admiration to Dr. Welthy Villanueva, a breast cancer patient, who crosses several mountains and 30 rivers in Palawan to reach the Batak tribe, who are still living in the stone age and minister to their medical needs.

The Bataks who are “negrito” still hunt and fish for their food. The adults are skimpily dressed in loin cloth, with the women bare breasted and children naked.

Dr. Villanueva’s example is truly heartwarming. His story raises a disturbing question of the DOH health personnel still not reaching distant barangays, especially indigenous tribes. And the Governor and Mayor? Shouldn’t they be visiting all their constituents?

Ka hanga-hanga...

How inspiring, even with her cancer, that she was able to do this.

Two thumbs up to you Doc Villanueva. You truly have the passion to serve our less fortunate brothers and sisters.   

May your tribe develops in multiples.
