well I figure JC , I grew up their , so , I have to give back . So many poor people there and a very rich class and a fragile middle class . The money I raised will go to routine testing for PSA. I figure we will catch many with 3+ PSA that need further investigation . They have "Phil-Health" there a form of government insurance that pays 50-80% of the bills for hospital and even dental at times. They also pay for 100% of any pneumonia type illness, including tuberculosis. Because of the region and straight across the water from Vietnam, TB is quite common. These days drugs take care of the resistant bacteria, but even when it's free, Filipinos/Pinoys have an aversion to go to the hospital or even the dentist. So, Pinoys dont think they will ever get sick or die ....plus with the poor, every dollar have 6 places to go - that is a need. So, immediate food for the kids is more of a priority than 'Phil-Health' insurance for yourself and family . I think it's only about 14 CAD/month , so about 11 USD/month. That the sad part , most cant even afford this. I have a few plans to generate income, health checks, and jobs around my area of Luzon . Just need to live long enough for the plans to see themselves through ! At 60 I should have 20 more good years to make it happen. Thanks JC . James
