CBOW @ Zamboanga City

January 30 - February 3, 2026

This medical mission was a collaboration with the

Zamboanga City Department of Health,

Zamboanga City Mayor's Office, and the

Ateneo de Zamboanga University School of Medicine

"Thank you Charito and all the team leaders. This was a wonderful experience. Got to learn so much about the people of the Southern Philippines and their culture. Enjoyed the med students most of all, that was the highlight for me."

"Salamat to all the amazing people who made the 2026 Zamboanga Medical Mission such a great success and experience to remember. There are really no words to express how I feel! We experienced the highs, the challenges, ate together, laughed together and maybe even shed tears together. Continue to enjoy God's blessings! I am grateful to have served."

First, thanks to all for accepting an IR guy on this mission. I fully enjoyed seeing all the great clinical work everyone was doing on behalf of the Zamboanga population. Next, witnessing and interacting with the Philippine community was a real joy. The patients, guides, cooks, hospitality staff, drivers, etc. were all so warm and accepting. And grateful. I especially enjoyed my time teaching med students, chatting with nursing students and learning about their education and the health care system in Zamboanga. Thanks especially to Charito, May, Maria, Marie and Jennifer and all the other organizers who pulled off this bit of magic and getting us where we needed to be. Again, thanks so much!
