CMM LIKENED TO A MUSTARD SEEDBy Emma Dempsey“The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.” Mark 4:30-32, Matthew 13;31-32. The mustard seed is not only smaller than all the other seeds in a garden, but when it is planted, it grows up and becomes a tree that is larger than all the other garden plants.

Like a mustard seed, CMM started small with only six volunteers in 1993. This year, however, as CMM celebrates its Silver Anniversary, CMM has grown hundred fold. This year’s Mission to Bataan has 82 volunteers from the US & Philippines. CMM’s growth is a result of the tenacity, dedication, hard work and sacrifices of its many volunteers, partners, sponsors and donors. CMM’s mustard seed is now a large tree spreading out its branches throughout rural Philippines serving over 200,000 indigent Filipinos to date.

CMM 2018 will serve Dinalupihan, Bataan with Rusty Aujero as US Coordinator and Tita Madarang assisting her. The energy and enthusiasm of these two ladies in their fundraising efforts are impressive. The following projects have helped them raise funds for the Bataan mission.• June 10, 2017, PAANC Independence Day picnic (sale of

malunggay plants, and halo-halo)• June 10, 2017, Golf Tournament sponsored by Ed Panganiban• July 29, 2017, Tita Madarang’s fundraising birthday celebration • September 24, 2017, CMM Silver Anniversary Barrio Fiesta• October 7, 2017, Rusty Aujero’s fundraising birthday celebration Also, the Garcia and Ventura Families raised funds for CMM surgical service with the Triangle Fil-Am Golf Association of NC’s Ace Ventura Memorial Golf Tournament. One volunteer of notable mention is Rosita (Abby) Sy, our Philippine Liaison Officer who makes CMM’s ground logistics happen. Abby is the instrumental behind the scenes person who arranges our transportation from Manila to the venues and back; arranges our hotel accommodations, orders our uniforms, purchases the medicine in Manila, handles the R&R details, and more. Thank you, Abby! You’re awesome!

In 2018, after the Mission to Dinalupihan, CMM will celebrate its Silver Anniversary at Las Casas Pilipinas de Azucar, in Bagac, Bataan on February 9, 2018. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with our volunteers. Thank you volunteers, partners and supporters for the last wonderful 25 years of service.

HOPE OF JOY: CAROLINA MEDICAL MISSIONBy Jaime Lagasca Still fresh in my mind were the joy of excitement and laughter that reverberated across the rooms and hallways at Dr. PJ Garcia Memorial Hospital in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, and at Jose Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital in San Fernando, Pampanga every time Dr. James Kiley removed the eye dressing of an indigent patient whom he operated cataract the previous day! “I can see, I can see” was said repeatedly, as tears of joy were pouring in their eyes. These indigent patients were not able to see or were going blind for several years due to cataract, but now were able to see through the miracle of lens implantation.

I joined the Carolina Medical Mission to Nueva Ecija and Pampanga, Philippines in March 1996. Dr. Fred Ng and his wife Anita, the overall Carolina Medical Mission (CMM) coordinators, assigned me as the US coordinator and the treasurer because I was the current president of PAANC. Dr. Fred Ng was the surgical director and Dr. Art de Leon was the medical director. Carolina Medical Mission which started in 1993 was the main humanitarian

project of PAANC. Our small US group was composed only of eight people: Dr. Fred Ng, Anita Ng, Dr. Art de Leon, Dr. Rosemary de Leon, Carmen Mosher, Dr. James Kiley, nurse Cindy Glaser, and

myself. US volunteers were required to pay their own expenses like airfare, food and lodging and the rest of the money left were used to buy medicine for the indigent patients. Also, all supplies and medicines were shipped or carried by the volunteer group. On the other hand, the CMM Philippine group which was composed of local volunteers, nurses, and surgeons lead by Drs. Benjamin and Nimfa Yu was larger. We were hosted by Governor Edno Joson, the Governor of Nueva Ecija and Carol de Jesus, a local coordinator.

I was assigned as a circulating nurse (a retired scientist and manager as profession) and interpreter for our American eye surgeon, Dr. James Kiley and his nurse, Cindy Glaser. My Ilocano worked perfectly well with patients in Cabanatuan City. We conducted eye surgery at Dr. PJ Garcia Memorial Hospital and at Jose Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital. Dr. Kiley performed cataract surgery on several indigent patients and implanted lenses. Resident doctors observed Dr. Kiley during surgery. He generously taught implant procedures and new techniques. Dr. Ng and Dr. Yu performed numerous cleft lip and thyroid surgeries at a series of hospital venues. Family medicine led by

CMM BARRIO FIESTA 2017 The CMM Barrio Fiesta 2017 was held on Saturday September 24, 2017 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Raleigh NC. The annual celebration drew a crowd of over 160 volunteers and friends of the Carolina Medical Mission (CMM).

Before dinner, Monsignor Lewis co-celebrated a thanksgiving mass in appreciation for CMM’s 24 years of service and outreach. CMM 2018 in Dinalupihan, Bataan marks

our 25 year of service to the Philippines. The Barrio Fiesta was an early Silver Anniversary party and an additional fundraiser for Bataan. Past CMM coordinators were awarded plaques and volunteers were given certificates for their invaluable service to our kababayan.

Thank you to all our dedicated volunteers for making the Barrio Fiesta a great success. We thank all of our food donors for the delicious Filipino cuisine. And thank you to all the attendees who came to support the mission’s efforts, and to spread CMM’s message of hope.

We are glad that everyone enjoyed the evening of delicious food, delightful conversation, and deserving recognitions.

What a wonderful time to catch up with our CMM friends as we prepare for the upcoming CMM 2018 Silver Anniversary joint medical mission to Dinalupihan, Bataan. Other missions include Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro and Nueva Ecija.

Dr. Art de Leon were conducted in another venue. Patients told us, they did not have money to pay, but offered prayer for us for many blessings. The experience was overwhelming and satisfying that no words can explain it. My special thanks go to Adonis Ng who wore hats of all trades at this mission, as our driver, security,

runner, and keeping me posted on everything.

Spreading the word of my unforgettable CMM experience got very positive feedback from

people. I was able to talk to Dr. Michael Sison, an eye surgeon in Quezon City who conducted free cataract surgery once a week in San Fernando to join the mission. Dr. Sison has since become a CMM mainstay. I also met with Mayor Ariel de Guzman of Mabini, Pangasinan and his wife Iva, the sister of Melinda Turner of Greenville, NC. Ariel and Iva were the CMM 1997 Philippine coordinators. When I attended the Cuison family reunion in NY with my wife Eva Quinto Lagasca, we presented a poster about CMM. We were able to convince Eva’s first cousin Dr. Elmo† (Sergio) Cuison and his wife Dr. Navora Gapas-Cuison† to join future missions. Elmo and Navora became long time CMM volunteers. Also, other friends and acquaintances who joined the missions through the years were Dr. Rob and Melinda Turner†, Dr. Lee and Frances Trent, and Dr. Angelina Edralin Knox† President of Phil-Am Wilmington, (Angelina reconnected with her long lost first cousin, Nene Edralin Marshall† of Louisburg, wife of Jim Marshall, another CMM volunteer), and more. As PAANC President that year, I was able to act as a roving ambassador for our organization and CMM by attending functions of the different smaller Phil-Am organizations in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, Wilmington-Cape Fear, Jacksonville-Camp Lejeune, Havelock-Cherry Point, Fayetteville, Asheville, Charlotte, Louisburg, Greensboro, Lumberton, NC and Columbia, SC. As years have gone by, my mind is still strong but my body is weak, like most people my own age. I encourage the Carolina Medical Mission family to support this very worthwhile effort and cause, to sustain the legacy started by Art, Rosemary, Fred, and Anita. I welcome Dr. Rob Turner, the new Medical Director and Dr. Benjamin Yu, the new Surgical Director; and I send best wishes to Drs. Art de Leon and Fred Ng. Also, I would like to salute Anita Ng, overall coordinator on her previous work, and to congratulate her replacement through the years, the very dedicated and hard working, Emma Dempsey. Thank you to the Carolina Medical Mission family. You have always been a part of my life. God bless us all!

CMM REMEMBERS Entering our 25th year of service, we remember all of our beloved CMM family who are no longer with us. This year we lost two compassionate and dedicated volunteers, James Marshall and Brena Carpio. James Marshall of Louisburg, NC passed away on March 25, 2017. Jim volunteered with CMM 1998 in Zamboanga & CMM 2000 in Zambales and Pangasinan. He was a generous supporter of CMM for nearly 20 years.

Brena Carpio of Tampa, Florida died on June 29, 2017. She was long time member of the Philippine American Association of North Carolina. She was PAANC president in 1995. She coordinated the CMM 1995 and CMM 2000 to Zambales. Brena continued to volunteer with the mission over the years. She had wonderful and lasting influence on the young adults of PAANC.

BEHIND THE NAME: DINALUPIHAN “The Spaniards arrived in Bataan in 1578. Bataan’s territory was divided between Pampanga and the corregimiento of Mariveles. It was only in 1754 that Bataan was created into a separate province through the efforts of Governor-General Pedro Manuel de Arandia. The new province included Balanga, Abucay, Samal, Orani, Llana-Hermosa, San Juan de Dinalupihan, Pilar, Orion (all formerly of Pampanga province), Mariveles, Bagac and Morong (formerly of the corregimiento of Mariveles).

In May, 1706, Hermosa was made a center of missionary activities and became a pueblo (town) and a parish. Dinalupihan remained a “sitio” of Hermosa administered by a capellan (chaplain).The natives fought valiantly against the Spanish Conquistadores and were never vanquished through the use of force. (This was the basis for the Legendary origin of the name DINALUPIHAN. It was said that the place got so famous for its fighting spirit that it came to be known as “di-nalupigan” or not conquered. The name “Di-nalupigan” stuck, but as luck would have it, the letter “g” was inadvertently changed to “h” during the registration of its name. Thus, the town with a fighting heart is now known as Dinalupihan.)” Excerpt from Dinalupihan.gov.ph

CMM 2018 returns to serve the people of Dinalupihan.
