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
