For the Launching of the CMZ B.R.A. (Bra to Raise Awareness) Art Exhibit, the very suppportive City Councilor Myra Paz Valderrosa Abubakar (who has been very active with the B.R.A. project from the beginning) and DOTIX Director, Ms. Mary June Bugante did the honors of cutting the ceremonial ribbon!  

The BRA Art is created by CMZ staff and children (Christine 11 y.o.) ; partners in the community such as the Mindanao Breast Cancer Support and Empowerment Association, Sangguniang Panglungsod, Department of Health Region IX Office, Zamboanga City Health Office, PhilHealth, Western Mindanao Command, Nuevo Zamboanga Colleges Inc., Sophie Paris - Zamboanga, PNB, Metrobank, Ateneo De Zamboanga University, WMSU and more; as well as friends from Manila especially Skin Rejuve and JCMI c/o Prescy Yulo; from Cebu City Budget Office c/o Elsie Lim and from Bulacan, Dr. Joy Santos-De Leon. 

Looking for my bra! Hope you find your bra and identify them... then share this exhibit with your friends!

Also note we have Elene Kho, 14 y.o. young lady from Brunei (Singapore-Brunei blood) who also shared her bras. Thanks to her mom, Molly! They are from Brunei (not Filipinos) who mailed the bras to support us. 

Here are the beautifully embellished B.R.A. Art for Advocacy now on display at Lantaka Hotel and eventually, in other places in Zamboanga City!

With Love from Elene Koh, 14 y.o. from BRUNEI

CMZ B.R.A. Flash Mob 2014

April 1 , 2014 Repost from In Pinay's Ciudad

March 21, 2014 marked the UNVEILING of the CIUDAD DE ZAMBOANGA B.R.E.A.S.T. (Bra to Raise Early Awareness for Screening and Treatment) INSTALLATION ART!

To create a festive mood for the upcoming activities, the CMZ B.R.A. (Bra to Raise Awareness) Flash Mob surprised everyone in the hospital with a very dynamic and energetic dance!

The CMZ B.R.A. Flash Mob presented twice:
*   First, at 10 a.m. to inform everyone that we had two activities lined up! ... plus the food stalls, one of which is manned by the Mindanao Breast Cancer Support and Empowerment Association. 

** Second, at 5 p.m. to open the highlight activity:
UNVEILING of the CIUDAD DE ZAMBOANGA B.R.E.A.S.T. (Bra to Raise Early Awareness for Screening and Treatment) INSTALLATION ART!

Here are some video clips (forgive the amateur video via iPad Air!) for you to feel the energy exuded by the CMZ staff!

The Ciudad Medical Zamboanga staff danced their way to excite and announce to the folks on the CMZ Bra to Raise Awareness Campaign culmination this March 21,2014.

There are Flash Mobbers in all four floors of the hospital and eventually gather at the first floor center aisle.

This is the second run of the CMZ B.R.A. Flash Mobbers, still at all four levels, where they are watched by staff, patients and relatives and friends such as from JSOTF-P (Balikatan to many of us) friends.

Eventually, they all gathered at the front parking lot to open the UNVEILING CEREMONY of the CIUDAD de ZAMBOANGA B.R.E.A.S.T. (Bra to Raise Early Awareness) INSTALLATION ART!

If you notice the Flash Mob is already by the road!
Isn't everyone surprised by the ongoing activities?

I am sure the Flash Mob shook Zamboanga City and was more than enough for everyone to take notice of our highlight activity!

AND, this is also our way of celebrating the 16th cycle Philippine Quality Award Conferment of Ciudad Medical Zamboanga (Zamboanga Polymedic Hospital Inc.) for Recognition to Commitment to Quality Management by no less than Pres. Benigno Aquino III at the Rizal Hall, Malacañan Palace, a day before!!!

We are amazed by the spirit of our CMZ staff and especially, the nurse trainees who shared their time, talent and energy to liven up this milestone in CMZ history! Another venue for them to showcase their creative "juices" to quote a fellow BC Blogger, Marie!

We still believe the Ciudad De Zamboanga B.R.E.A.S.T. Installation Art is the largest bra art made of individual bras to be displayed whether here in the Philippines or abroad.
