  1. I just got my 3rd shot of cervical cancer vaccine and I'm lucky that the company where I work offered a program in which employees can avail of the vaccine in a salary deduction scheme. The vaccine is expensive that an ordinary woman, lest the unemployed and the marginalized, cannot afford it. But the vaccination is very important for cervical cancer is the number two cause of death among women in the country today.

    I would like to help spread awareness in cervical cancer. I hope other companies would do the same and encourage their women employees to avail of the cervical cancer vaccination. May our newly elected officials (and I'm expecting the women who will be elected in the post will spearhead this) DO something about this so that every woman get vaccinated. It should be a RIGHT.
