Cancer doesn’t have a qualifying age nor gender. Anyone can acquire it. A lot of women (both young and old) all over the world are diagnosed with this disease. Among Filipino women, breast cancer ranks the most common cancer. There is an urgent need to inform and educate Filipino women on the advocacy that Breast Cancer is curable if detected early and treated properly. Over the last decade, survival rates have increased, however, early detection continues to be critically important. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness of this complex disease and fund research into its causes, treatment and cure. Since 1985, individuals, business, and communities have come together every October to show their support for the many people affected by Breast Cancer. Breast Cancer Awareness Month can be a time to reflect, give back, or even celebrate.

Objectives:
