“Kapag sinabi ng doktor na ‘palliative care,’ ibig bang sabihin… wala na talaga?”
(Season 2, Episode 2)

Hindi. At sana, huwag nating hintayin na marinig ito ng isang pamilya sa pinakamasakit na sandali bago natin ito maintindihan.

Dahil ang palliative care ay hindi pagsuko. Hindi ito pag-abandona. At hindi ito nangangahulugang tapos na ang laban.

Ilang beses ko na itong narinig:

“Dok, palliative care na ba? Ibig sabihin, wala na?

At sa likod ng simpleng tanong na iyon, madalas ay may takot.

Takot na baka wala nang pag-asa.
Takot na baka titigil na ang gamutan.
Takot na baka ang palliative care ay ibang pangalan lang para sabihing “sumuko na tayo.”

Pero hindi.

Ang palliative care ay pag-aalaga sa tao—hindi lang sa kanyang sakit.

Ito ay pagtulong sa pasyente na harapin ang sakit, hirap huminga, pagod, pagsusuka, pangamba, lungkot, at iba pang bigat na dala ng karamdaman.

At higit sa lahat, hindi kailangang hintayin na “wala nang magawa” bago ito simulan.

Palliative care can happen alongside cancer treatment.

Dahil habang ginagamot natin ang cancer, kailangan din nating alagaan ang taong may cancer.

Minsan, ang pinakamahalagang tanong ay hindi lang:

“Ano pa ang maaari nating gawin laban sa cancer?”

Kundi:

“Ano ang maaari nating gawin para mas maging magaan ang buhay mo habang pinagdaraanan mo ito?”

Sa vlog na ito, pag-uusapan natin kung ano ba talaga ang palliative care, kailan ito maaaring simulan, sino ang maaaring makinabang dito, at bakit hindi ito nangangahulugang tapos na ang laban.

Dahil ang palliative care is not about giving up on life.

It is about making life as meaningful, comfortable, and dignified as possible—kahit may sakit.

At minsan, iyon mismo ang ibig sabihin ng tunay na pag-asa. ❤️

Hello, my 5 AM peeps! ☀️

There’s something special about starting the day with this much energy. Always a joy to be around these guys so early in the morning—and a beautiful reminder that patient care should be precise and compassionate, but it can also be joyful, light, and fun.

Nurses are our lifeline. 🩵 Thank you for bringing skill, heart, and good vibes to the work we do every day! 🫶🏼

Time check: 11 PM. And yes, we’re the ones closing the Medical Arts Building. 🩵

For my existing patients, you already know—and probably love—Ma’am Donnah, my patient navigator. For my new patients, I’m sure you’ll learn to love her too. She helps make your cancer care journey a little less overwhelming—from coordinating clinic schedules and treatment instructions, to answering questions, managing schedule changes, and helping you navigate the many steps of your care.

One thing I especially appreciate about Donnah is how mindful she is of each patient’s circumstances. She makes it a point to prioritize patients who come from far outside Bacolod City, especially those who need to catch a boat or flight to get home. For them, a delay can mean missing the last trip home, so we try our best to take this into consideration when arranging the day’s schedule.

Our work starts at 6 AM daily and end around 11 PM on heavy clinic days. So please forgive us if we cannot respond immediately to every message. We do our best to get back to everyone as soon as we can, especially when there are urgent concerns or schedule changes.

And I also hope you can understand that not every consultation takes the same amount of time.

Some cases are straightforward; others are more complicated. Some patients need more explanation, and sometimes things need to be repeated because there is simply a lot to take in when you are dealing with cancer.

My goal is simple: I do not want a patient to leave my clinic without understanding their disease, the goals of treatment, and their treatment options.

That takes time. I honestly don’t mind the long clinical hours. My patients know I don’t even have a clock inside my clinic. 😂

A good consultation takes time—and I believe that time is worth giving. So thank you for your patience and understanding when the clinic runs behind or when replies take a little longer than expected.

We are doing our best to take care of everyone, while making sure that each patient gets the time and attention they deserve.

And to my ever-reliable partner in all of this: Salamat, Ma’am Donnah. ❤️

You help make sure that while I focus on taking care of the patient, no one gets lost along the way.

Cancer care is a journey. And no patient should have to navigate it alone. 🫶🙏🏼🥰

Naiintindihan ko kung may masasakit kayong karanasan, sakit, o pagkadismaya. Kung ganoon man ang inyong pinagdaanan, nakikiramay ako.

Pero magkokomento lang, mali pa ang impormasyon. Walang “Stage 5” na cancer—hanggang Stage 4 ang standard staging para sa karamihan ng solid tumors.

At higit sa lahat, wala kayong karapatang magsabi sa mga pasyente na “hindi aabot ng 10 years” at patay na sila. Hindi ninyo alam ang kanilang buong medical history, response sa gamutan, mga opsyon, o kung ano ang magiging takbo ng kanilang sakit. Hindi kayo ang may hawak ng kanilang kinabukasan.

Hindi namin ipinapangako na lahat ng may Stage 4 cancer ay gagaling. Pero hindi rin namin kukunin sa pasyente ang karapatang umasa, lumaban, magpagamot, at mamuhay nang makabuluhan.

Sa mga pasyenteng nakakabasa nito: pakinggan ang inyong medical team, magtanong, alamin ang inyong mga opsyon, at huwag mawalan ng pag-asa dahil lamang sa isang komento sa internet. Ang prognosis ay hindi isang numero na basta-basta ibinabato sa isang tao. Ito ay pinag-uusapan nang maayos, batay sa kanyang partikular na kondisyon at sa ebidensyang medikal.

Hindi kayo isang stage lamang. Hindi kayo statistic lamang. At lalong hindi kayo isang expiration date.

Kung hindi kayo masaya sa nakikita ninyo sa page na ito, malaya kayong umalis. Unfollow. Scroll past. Huwag nang bumalik. Pero please, spare our patients. Huwag ninyong dagdagan ang takot ng mga taong araw-araw nang nakikipaglaban.

Dito, pipiliin nating maging tapat nang hindi nananakot, realistic nang hindi mapanakit, at hopeful nang hindi nagbibigay ng maling pangako.

Sa bawat pasyente: May karapatan kang umasa. May karapatan kang magtanong. May karapatan kang pumili kasama ang iyong doktor. At higit sa lahat, may karapatan kang tratuhin nang may dignidad at malasakit.

Habang may maaari pang gawin, gagawin natin. Habang lumalaban ka, hindi ka nag-iisa. 🙏🏼🩵

Looooong day ahead. Missing them a little extra today. 🩵

Salamat, UP-PGH—especially to all our mentors who shaped, challenged, and formed us into the oncologists we are today. So much of who we are was built in those halls, through the patients we cared for and the professors who believed in us.

Forever grateful. Forever indebted.

Para sa bayan. Always. 🇵🇭

☕ Coffee may not cure cancer, but sometimes, it reminds us of something just as important: life is worth savoring.

In the middle of treatments, scans, and uncertainty, don’t forget the small moments—a warm cup of coffee, a quiet morning, a conversation with someone you love.

Cancer may change your life, but it does not have to take away your ability to live it. One sip. One day. One moment at a time.🩵

May our Mondays be strong, and our coffee stronger. Happy Monday, Loves! 🫶🏼🙏🏼🩷

Sunday reflection on Leadership:

If everyone is happy with every decision you make, you may be leading for approval—not for growth.

One of the hardest lessons in leadership is accepting that doing what is right will sometimes disappoint people.

You will say no when yes is easier.
You will hold the standard when lowering it is more comfortable.
You will challenge people because you see more in them than they see in themselves.

You may be misunderstood.
You may be criticized.
Sometimes, you may even feel alone.

When that happens, remember:

Leadership is not about comfort.
It is about growth.
Not popularity, but purpose.
Not applause, but trust.

Be clear. Be fair. Be consistent.
Stay anchored in your values when the pressure to compromise is strongest.

You don’t need to be harsh.
But you do need the courage to choose what builds people over what pleases them.

Because leadership is not about making the path easier. It is about helping people become strong enough to walk it.

And when your time as a leader is over, may the people you led be able to say: “They believed in us enough to expect more from us.”

That is leadership worth remembering. 🫶🏼

Finally had the time to slow down and simply bond with our College office staff. 💚

Behind every meeting, every class, every student concern, every faculty request, and every program of the College are people who quietly make things happen—day in and day out.

They are the workforce behind the College, and so much of what we are able to accomplish is made possible by their dedication, patience, and essential work.

Leadership is never a one-person journey. It takes a team.

Today was a simple reminder to appreciate the people behind the work—to listen, to laugh, to share a meal, and to say thank you.

We remain deeply grateful for everything you do for our students, our faculty, and our College.

Our work may have different roles, but we share one mission: to build a better College and serve our future Lasallian physicians. 💚⚪️

Thank you, team. Animo!

A rare and meaningful night with my medical oncology colleagues from BOSS (Bacolod Oncology Specialty Society) and our amazing IM residents from CLMMRH. 🩵

Oncology can be a demanding and emotionally heavy specialty, which makes having a supportive community all the more meaningful. Grateful for the camaraderie, the shared stories, the laughter, and the people who make this journey a little lighter. 🫶

Here’s to finding strength in each other. 🩵
