Metro Manila Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Program Coalition (MIND-PC) celebrated its first anniversary with a series of special events with the theme “Mind Your Health: Unite to Fight Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD’s)!”, bringing together almost 300 delegates from different Local Government Units and Non Government Agencies.

The said celebration started the registration as early as 5am, it followed with the Fun Run and biking from selected bikers from different LGUs that take place around the Quezon City Circle. A “Hataw” Exercise facilitated by the organizers right after the delegations came back.
Chief-Health Operations Division, Dr. Ruben Siapno with Regional Director, Dr. Eduardo C. Janairo and other special guests led the ribbon cutting as they grace the opening of the special program. Different booth exhibits, merchandise and freebies for health check like bone scanning and blood check are open to all of the participants. The participants were also wooed by our very own PWA John Paul Lumba from ASP Lagro Chapter; he showcased his talents and skills in keyboard while singing two (2) Filipino Songs.
The said celebration was attended by ASP Executive Director, Ranil Sorongon and ASP Angels, Abegail Mendoza and Cath Genovia as they distributed the ASP brochures to all doctors, nurses, health workers who were present in the said event.
