MANILA 17 October 2024 – Committed to promoting the health and wellness of its members, the DFA Ladies Foundation Inc. (DFALF) spearheaded a breast health talk at the Carlos P. Garcia Conference Room, in observance of “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” this October.
“Breast cancer is a serious issue that needs to be addressed as the breast is ranked as the ‘top cancer site’ among cancer cases in the Philippines.” Ms. Anna Marie Guerra (DFALF’s Corporate Secretary and Committee head for Activities), emphasized during her opening remarks.
Serving as resource person was Dr. Nicole Ann “Aika” Buenavista, a Lifestyle, Aesthetic and Occupational Health Physician. During the one-hour seminar, Dr. Buenavista distinguished between facts and myths about breast cancer and shared ways on how to improve breast health by adopting lifestyle changes, maintaining a well-balanced diet, and having regular breast examinations.
At least seventy (70) on-site and online DFALF members attended the event. DFALF encouraged its members to share what they learned to the rest of their colleagues. END
