 my heart was touch by the health-seeking behavior of the mangyans... they grab all the opportunities that come to them... when they see doctors or medical missions they immediately avail of the services... especially our measles vaccination... it made me more apathetic to those who refuse vaccination for all the wrong reasons... we should learn from these mangyans... plus the fact that they are very grateful and appreciative of all the things you give to them...
BWAYWA...
(thank you in the native language of mangyans)

RATE OF TIREDNESS: minimal...
