As one of many programs initiated and delivered well for the benefits of humanities by the Mistah Foundation, the Mistah once more organized medical mission in other less fortunate community in Brgy. San Jose, Aguilar, Pangasinan with the aid of medical professionals, sympathetic sponsors, and of course, in collaboration with Saint Louis University- School of Medicine, Knight Warriors Rider Club, Maharlikan Tigers International Fraternity and Sorority and Brgy. Officials of San Jose to provide medical assistance to those in need. With a strong desire to improve the health lives of every Filipino family and community, the foundation and its partners assist over a hundred patients and provide various medical services.

On September 25, 2022, Mistah brought medical professionals from Baguio City. In addition to the fifteen doctors with various specialties came from Saint Louis University, there are also four intern doctors and ten nurses who volunteered for the medical mission. Before traveling from Baguio City to one of barangay in Aguilar Pangasinan, these selfless volunteers were given coffee, bread, and dessert. The team arrived at exactly 5:30 in the morning, all the tiredness and exhaustion brought by the long journey were all gone because of care and hospitality shown by Barangay officials of San Jose to all the volunteers of the medical mission. The mission officially began at six o’clock in the morning, with a hundred patients awaiting medical attention. The volunteers had served rice cake, coffee, and tea for breakfast and had a boodle fight for lunch.

It is heartbreaking to see how the tragic combination of financial burdens and health problems makes it nearly impossible for those in need to have access to medicine and health care services and must wait like this medical mission and fall in line just to have proper medical attention that life has denied them. More than three hundred patients have been served by the foundation and its partners. They were given medications, and doctors performed minor surgeries such as tumor removal and circumcision. If it hadn’t rained, more patients in desperate need would have received proper medical attention. But it was heartening to see that the foundation, along with its generous partners, had provided enough medicines for all of the patients who had taken part and waited for an hour.

The medical mission was ended at five o’clock in the afternoon. It was a successful outreach program, because all the patients had been served, given proper medicines, medical surgeries and of course it was made possible with the collaboration of all Mistah’s volunteers and partners. All the volunteers had given milk fish, native vegetables, and rice cake as a token of appreciation for what they had brought and what they had given to the people of Brgy. San Jose, Aguilar, Pangasinan.
