"Not everyone who gets hit by a drunk driver dies."
A campaign against drunk driving builds on the consequences of drunk driving, thanks to the courage of Jacqueline Saburido who agreed to share what happened to her on the evening of September 19, 1999. A drunk driver crashed into the vehicle of Ms Saburido and her friends. Jacqueline Saburido was pinned inside the burning car and suffered severe burns as a result.

Press Release: OMMC Stoma Clinic for the Manilans
October 11, 2002
The Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center (OMMC) started operating a stoma clinic last October 7, 2002, with a projected regular schedule of every Monday, 1- 4 pm, at the OMMC Outpatient Department. The stoma clinic will cater to OMMC patients and indigent Manilans with stomas.
What is a stoma? It is an opening created by a surgeon on the surface of the human body using part of a hollow organ like the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and respiratory tract. Common examples of stomas include a colostomy (originating from the large intestines discharging feces - most common), ileostomy (from the small intestine), ileal conduit (discharging urine), and tracheal stoma. Stomas are created to allow egress and/or ingress of substances into/from the hollow organs as part of a life-saving/life-maintaining procedure. The most common conditions leading to stoma creation are cancers, trauma, inflammatory diseases, and congenital disorders. [more]
