TAN Yan Kee Foundation, Inc., Adarna House, Inc., and the Department of Education held a
story-telling event for 60 public school teachers, three education supervisors, and three district supervisors and principals at the Bambang Central School in Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya. The workshop on the art of oral narration, the session focuses on the tools a storyteller can use, and how these tools can be maximized to the storyteller’s advantage. It gives tips on choosing stories, preparing for storytelling sessions, and developing different ways to
tell a story. It aims to develop genuine love for reading among children through storytelling. Grade 2 teacher Vanessa Patricio sees the project as “not just a plain story-action or variation of voice but a springboard for enjoyment, reading and learning techniques.” Grade 5 and 6 teacher Josie Laboreda adds, “being TYKF’s recipients of storybooks, we sustain the usage of these books to encourage pupils to read more and learn how to tell stories.” Sta. Fe Central teacher Marjorie Frani says that storytelling is another way of
teaching beyond the traditional form, and Grade 2 teacher Eliza Baldino finds that it helps them in storytelling classes with techniques to be used for effective teaching. Grade 4 teacher Blessing
Balasuit is thankful for the session saying that teachers are not usually equipped to encourage pupils to read, “thus learning strategies of storytelling help teachers to appreciate and share to pupils, co-teachers, and even to district level officials.” Grade 3 & 4 Teacher Ma. Magdalena Attaban appreciates the storytelling lessons for the ability to have “strategies in teaching and for kids to love reading.”
Storytelling as Tool for Learning
TAN Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. in partnership with Tanduay Distillers, Inc.-Tacloban Branch, Allied
Bank-Tacloban Branch, PNB-Taclo-ban Branch, Deped-Leyte Division, and the Philippine Foundation for Science and Technology brought Science Centrum’s Sci-Fun Caravan to the Province of Leyte, benefitting 24,000 public school pupils, stu-dents, and teachers in the Deped division of the province of Leyte. The exhibit, which ran for one month, at the Deped-Leyte Divi-sion Gym, Government Center, Candahug, Palo, Leyte,was a learn-ing and fun treat to some 20,000 underprivileged pupils ages 10-17. The Foundation has been pro-moting Science not as a boring subject but interesting and fun. Through Science Centrum’s Sci-Fun Caravan TYKFI helps upgrade and uplift the level of Science in the country, bringing it closer to the population and the youth, in par-ticular, who will play an active role in shaping the future of the nation. exhibits include: n 3D Tic Tac Toe n Animal Sounds n Anti-Gravity Mirror n Bernoulli Blower n Bridge n Calypso Reef n Changing Colors n Charge Now, Power Later n Chaotic Pendulum n Coin Reflection n Color or Words
n Colored Shadows n Corner Reflector n Dancing Worms n Dinosaurs n Finger Tingler n For Your eyes Only n Frozen Shadows n Gravity Well n Jacob’s Ladder n Magnetic Chain Reaction n Magnetic Suction n Money Detector n Parabolic Dish n Pedal Generator n Pick a cone n Plasma Sphere n Pupil of the eye n Ring Bubbles n Shadow geometry n Siphon n Steady hand Game n Stereo hearing n Subjective Shapes n Tiny Bubbles n Touch Me If You Can
n Two eyes n Well of Flowers n You and Me Are One n Trapezoidal Window n Your Nose Knows n Zoetrope n Van de Graff n electric Fleas Schools Division Superinten-dent of Leyte Dr. Sarah Apurillo says “I am teary-eyed because I am so touched by the grand prepara-tions - the stage, program, etc., and most of all, the singing of the
Deped Leyte hymn where the chil-dren sang with fervour, passion, enthusiasm and devotion. The stu-dents have a month-long exposure to this very rare equipment. I’m so glad , I’m so grateful , I do not know how to say, I can’t thank y o u much enough sir Philip Sing and the group of TYKFI, we are all so grateful.” TYKFI Administrative Officer Philip Sing responded and noted that TYKFI is happy to share edu-cational tools with everyone, saying “education is very important espe-cially to young ones, that’s why we are here today, to equip you teach-ers and also pupils students to be-come number one in the region. I know you are all silently eager to conquer science and when you go back to your respective schools you will have new techniques, new style to share especially to those who are scared of Science.”
Deped, Region VIII OIC/Asst. Regional Director Dr. Rebecca L. Ragrag challenged the pupils and teachers to apply what they see in their lessons. Philippine Foundation for Science & Technology executive Director May Pagsinohin averred that she “was also touched with the singing of the Deped hymn with zeal and ardour; The Science Cen-trum is proven to be a vital method of “Learning by Doing”- When I hear, I forget; When I see, I remem-ber; but When I do, I understand”;
Based on studies by the UP College of education, 67% of students want to be Scientists and engineers— hence we should upgrade the level of science education in our coun-try; Science is not complex; after all, SCIeNCe IS FUN!” Former Deped Undersecretary

Dr. Yolanda S. Quijano reminded everyone that “Science is excit-ing...if experienced, there will be a sense of enjoyment; we are behind other nations, therefore, we should put technology into science; it is through technology that invention is made. Teachers are the most im-portant components in education - you should look at your students as assets, teachers shape the life of students; Make sure that science teachers will be experts and will get mastery of the exhibits; encourage students to ask questions- this is the so called “spiral curriculum”; Remember the 4es- engage, experi-ence, explore, enjoy.” Palo, Leyte Municipal Mayor Remedios L. Petilla said that when she was a congresswoman, she had been “working for the setting up of a Science Centrum in Leyte - in fact, there is already a building… This will serve pupils especially the students of far flung schools as far as Northern Samar.” explainer from Dulag South Central School Corinne Desiree Longsas points to interaction as a defining component of the caravan: “It is fun because of the interaction between the devices and students; output is evident, mas naiintin-dihan; We have the e-classroom which can explain processes; it is
also interactive but not a hands-on like the Science Centrum; In terms of sustainability - we can devise similar simple machines in school - may tinuro na sa amin si Prof. Ro-land Moya.” Leyte Central School english Teacher Flora Gansain says that “even if I am an english teacher, I learned a lot and enjoyed; learned to appreciate science; concepts are well explained.” Sambulauan eS School head Reynante De Lima noted “malak-ing tulong especially sa mga barrio teachers; wala kaming previous ex-posure—first time to experience; hindi easy ang concepts, but when you see
the real application, you put fun in learning; children are more responsive in this kind of method, than teaching the same concepts in the classroom, appreciate the actual application to daily living - for example, the concept of electrical circuit.” Comments from students were particularly encouraging and made the effort worthwhile. Claire Andrea Nel C. Alcober, Grade V: “Enjoyable, maraming natu-tunan, educational, maraming related sa science lessons namin; ikukuwento sa mga kapatid and playmates.” Ma. Theresa M. Basas, Jane Marie Laurente, Antonette Marie Salvo, elkien Jane Taneza: “It is fun,
amazing, exciting, enjoyable, learned about technology.” Grade 4 Maureene L. Añunue-vo: “Masaya at marami akong natu-tunan, ngayon pa lang po ako nakaki-ta nan ganito. Magiging dagdag po ito sa aking kaalaman. Sana po ay meron uling ganito.” Grade 6 Students,Palarao eS: “Very fantastic and amazing, di po kami naiinip habang pinapaliwanag samin kung pano gumagana yung machine. Magaling po ang ginawa nang Tan Yan Kee Foundation dahil marami kaming natutunan.” Other attendees included: Joram Bacorro, Branch Manager, Tanduay-Tacloban; Gaudencio Labajosa, Sales Supervisor, Tan-duay-Tacloban; Tristan Santiago, Junior Sales Supervisor, Tanduay-Tacloban; Corita Ong, Branch Manager, PNB-Tacloban; Maria Fe Boco, Branch Manager, Allied Bank-Tacloban; Dr. elvira Galvez, Consultant, PFST; Dr. Rebecca Lu-cero, OIC/Regional Director DOST; Dr. Manuel Albano, Assistant Divi-sion Superintendent, Deped-Leyte; Dr. editha Vale, Assistant Division Superintendent, Deped-Leyte; Feli-cidad espinosa, Science Supervisor-high School; Susan De Veyra, Sci-ence Supervisor-elementary; and Tan Yan Kee Foundation officers and staff.

The Sisters of Mary, whose charism is to the serve the poorest of the poor by giving
them quality secondary educa-tion intensive of technical-vo-cational training, try to respond to this dire need of the youth. The Servant of God, Msgr. Aloy-sius Schwartz, our founder and Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for International Understanding in 1983, had envisioned that if the youth would be equipped with skills fit to the job market de-mand coupled with moral and spiritual values, then they will be productive. This would re-dound to progress not only to their families but to the country as a whole. The Sisters of Mary Boys-towns and Girlstowns were es-tablished in 1985. Since then, almost 50,000 youngsters have graduated, of whom, mostly are gainfully-employed and are considered models in the area where they are working. “At present, we, the Sisters, take care and educate more than 11,000 boys and girls in our campuses in secondary and post-secondary levels.” The post-secondary is tied up with the Technical educa-tion Skills and Development Authority (TeSDA) by having all trade areas offered accredit-ed, assessed and issued a Certif-icate of TVeT Program Registra-tion. This allows our students to receive TeSDA National Certifi-cate giving them better oppor-tunities for job placement. The implementation of the K-12 program of the Depart-ment of education, we urgently need a post-secondary building at our Sisters of Mary Girlstown in Talisay City, Cebu, for the following workshops: n Technical Drafting NC II

The above trade areas are already offered to the students; however, these workshops are all installed in the Buildings which are for dormitories and academic classrooms. With this new education program, the school will be needing more dormitories and classrooms or have to lessen the number of students and turn-down almost a 1,000 poorest of
the poor students. It would be heart-breaking to let 1,000 girls stay in their shanties without giving them the necessary edu-cation, safety and care. The Tan Yan Kee Founda-tion, Inc. helped in the con-struction of a 3-storey post-secondary building to set up the workshops and an auditorium at the upper floor with their kind donation.

The 2013 Tan Yan Kee Library Summer Class was held from April 2 to June 2, 2013 with an
overwhelming response from partici-pants and parents alike. Activities included Chinese his-tory and Chinese Literature classes. The scope of these classes ranged from learning, reading, storytelling, and understanding Chinese history and Idioms; learning, understanding, and appreciating Chinese Tang poetry; singing Chinese inspirational and mother’s day songs; art activities such as drawing, coloring, doll-making, mother’s day greeting cards; compo-sition writing; acting in short plays, storytelling, reporting, narrating po-ems, and song interpretation; learning and improving Mandarin and Fookien. Culminating events were the Mother’s Day Celebration during which the children narrated, sang, and did song interpretation and the 2013
Summer Class Graduation rites on June 9 where short plays, storytelling, reporting, narration, singing, and song interpretation were done both in Man-darin and Foookien. Parents’ feedback showed that they were particularly happy with their chil-dren’s improved proficiency in the Chi-nese language and had acquired a deeper understanding of Chinese history, cul-ture, and values. Students, on the other hand, said they earned new friends from different schools, enjoyed reading Chi-nese storybooks and comics as well as learning new songs and crafts. Teachers Aniceto Cham, Leslie Anne Cham, Merlyline ham, and Di-ane hung,, who were brought in to conduct the summer class, felt that the students left an impression of excite-ment and anticipation. The TYK Library personnel are Flo-rentina Go, ellamae Valenzuela, and Lan Chen Chiu.
TYKFI LIBRARY HOLDS ANNUAL SUMMER CLASS
The Tan Yan Kee Foun-dation, Inc.(TYKFI), in partnership with the De-partment of education
(Deped) helped schools in Ilocos Sur and Nueva Vizcaya prepare for school year 2013-2014 via a three- day workshop on “enhancement of SY 2013-2014 Annual Improve-ment Plan (AIP) and Discussions on SY 2014-2016 School Improve-ment Plan (SIP).” The workshop was conduct-ed by TYKFI representatives for-mer Deped Undersecretary Dr. Yolanda Quijano and Ms. Zen Dimalanta. Resource speakers also from Deped included Rowe-na dela Cruz, OPS-DepeD, Pasig City; Corazon Laquingan, OIC–Planning Office, DepeD Region I; and Ma. Theresa F. Tumayao, Planning Officer, DepeD Region II. Participants are district super-visors and school heads of public elementary schools including representatives from the Sisters of Mary Schools. TYKFI appreciates the ur-gency to support education pro-grams by teaching and empow-ering school planners and dis-trict supervisors to strategize
and prioritize their needs. evaluation of AIP’s before the schoolyear was necessary in order for the schools to make adjustments on backlogs for the following year. In Vigan, Ilocos Sur where the enhancement workshop was held, participants were guided on setting their individ-ual, unique targets and strate-gies as well as identifying their priority areas of improvement for the AIP 3 in preparation for the school year. The Founda-tion specifically identified the need to alleviate participating schools of Ilocos Sur of negative internal and external factors by planning well for their schools with the assistance of experts in the field and several Deped of-ficials. At the outset, participants identified key terms they asso-
ciate and understand to be part of School Based Managament (SBM), which showed shared governance, decentralization, shared vision, stakeholder’s ac-tive involvement, innovation, financial management, physical facilities improvement, link-
ages, and results-oriented goals. According to some partici-pants in Ilocos Sur, compared to past sessions in planning and evaluation, they found it easier to assimilate the concepts because they were taught in a more actual and practical way.

limited due to a private school curriculum. Participants in Ilocos Sur, af-ter the intense enhancement and planning session, presented a com-mitment statement as follows: “We, the 68 selected par-ticipants to the 3-day National Training Workshop on AIP/SIP development, sincerely commit ourselves to uplift the quality ed-ucation through the knowledge, skills and the learned insights to translate into a well-crafted and co-owned AIP and SIP: To lead, empower and to draw support from our valued stakeholders so that our vision-mission be fully achieved; and To fully commit ourselves to do the tasks entrusted to us as light bringers to illuminate the society and to truly build an edu-cated citizenry bringing quality life through quality education. So help us God.” Dr. Marino Baytec, Deped Division Superintendent of Ilo-cos Sur, gave a concluding mes-sage that encouraged partici-pants and emphasized that “they should not only remember to follow their plans at all times but more importantly to strive for the better what their plans could achieve”. This is done through the technique of MePA (moni-toring, evaluation, planning, and adjustment) where school managers will have to adjust and implement those adjustments to get higher results. District Supervisor of Sta. Cruz Buenafe Medrano, speak-ing for participants from the
Division of Ilocos Sur, said that they received vital knowledge on capacity building and manage-ment, and feel more confident handling the work of the AIP/SIP. Similarly, Novelita Novida, school head of Cubcubbuat el-ementary School, speaking for participants from Candon City Division, expressed gratitude “for a moving, informational, and enriching workshop that can be shared with colleagues.” In the Nueva Vizcaya run, the AIP-SIP workshop zeroed in on its purpose as pointed out by Dr. Quijano, which includ-ed among others, a review and evaluation of the annual imple-mentation plan, learning from best practices, and a review on the guidelines in drawing up a school improvement plan. n Develop the School’s Annual Implementation Plan based on: • Current SIP (CY 2011-2013) • priority areas that need to be addressed/targets that need to be achieved • identify strategies that ensure accomplishments of objectives -per-ceive resources • Secretary’s Commitment to the President n Develop an outline of the SIP for 2014-2016 considering the: • Vision and Mission • SWOT analysis/ analysis of problems/ needs and other challeng-es -goals, objectives, targets • strategies that work • resources needed • stakeholders to be involved • others
Number of participants
Some pointed out the continued need for the stakeholders and school managers to be part of their team effort to help iden-tify priority areas for improve-ment. Gratitude was expressed for the opportunity to meet other school managers so that together they were able to com-pare best practices and learn from one another. Reactors, on the other hand, commented on the need to identify desired outcomes,
in particular, performance in-dicators as well as the need to focus on the delivery of quality curriculum and overall broad-stroke approach. SWOT analy-sis and other tools leading to SWOT were also recommended for the participants. The Sisters of Mary School, who had nine participants from Cavite and Cebu campuses, was commend-ed on having student teachers although comparison with oth-er participating schools may be

UE-TYKFI SCHOLARSHIPTHE Tan Yan Kee Foundation Inc. and the University of the East established the UE-TYKFI scholarship program in 1998 to provide free, quality education to deserving UE undergraduate students and faculty members. over 1,000 students, including 17 faculty members and 79 grantees, have benefited from the program. For the past 15 school years, TYKFI has spent no less than PhP84.83 million for the program, covering book allowance, uniform subsidy, transportation allowance, and monthly stipend. on the other hand, UE has spent PhP118 million for tuition and other school fees. The scholarship is renewable every semester provided that the scholar meets the grade requirement and finishes his/her course within the prescribed period. The scholarship program for regular faculty members covers a book allowance and monthly stipends (including study leave pay, tuition and other school fees) for two consecutive years for a master’s degree or four years for a doctorate degree. Both types of degrees may be pursued at the UE Graduate School or in another university if the field of specialization is not offered in UE. The undergraduate scholarships are in selected fields considered relevant to the needs of the Philippines for high-level manpower, namely Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Mathematics and the Sciences, Accountancy, Dentistry, English and Communication Arts. To qualify for a student scholarship, applicants must meet a set of criteria. For further details, please call 735-5471 local 398 or 399 or 735-8577 (UE Manila), 367-4787 or 367-4572 (UE Caloocan) or 816-5520 and -22 (TYKFI).
THE road to success in every endeavour is determined by dedication, hard work, and a clear sense of purpose. My path was not exactly easy, because I had to work much more given our financially difficult
situation during my youth. I believe, however, that the experience built my character and the apprecia-tion for simplicity and helping others in their search for a better quality of life. I share with you the happiness of achievement tempered by simple needs and wants, and more importantly, of giving to and helping people like our scholars and grantees who show not only talent but the desire to achieve. Always remember that you live not just for yourselves but for others as well. In your hands lies the future of your families in particular and, as citizens, the nation in general. I congratulate each and every scholar and grantee of the UE-TYKFI Scholarship Program, the PNB-TYKFI Scholarship Program, as well as the Association of Asia Brewery Medical Scholars for the publication of the Medical Forum Health Guide. Be the shining example of genuine dedication and achievement for yourself and for others.

Touching Philippine shores at a very young age, his life story is one marked by true grit and a strong sense of purpose. Despite hardships, he used his talent, insight, and business acumen to create a diversified business enterprise that touches almost every aspect of people’s lives through more than 100 companies covering some 40 sectors in the Philippines and other countries. Going beyond bottomline, Dr. Lucio C. Tan utilizes his resources to address the larger goals of his advocacies through the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc.—established in honor of his father.
Every month, the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. and the Scholars of the Asia Brewery Medical Specialty Scholarship Program have been holding a medical forum designed for laymen’s information and appreciation. The forum provides people with a venue to learn about the latest medical issues, trends, and available treatment options. Asia Brewery medical scholars also render free consultations and discuss pertinent matters in layman’s language. The Medical Forum Health Guide—a book-compilation of medical lectures on issues, trends, and treatment options—has been launched and provides a helpful reference for common as well as rare illnesses,symptoms, treatment options, and how best to avoid them.

School Principal Genelita A. Nantiza noted that the packages “are a big help for the students and an early Christ-mas gift for them”, adding “may TYKFI continue to support and help the Filipino children.” Grade 1 Teacher Vanille estipona sees the do-nation as “a great help in the cen-tral school to lessen cases of stu-dents dropping out of school for lack of materials and supplies”. Meanwhile, in Nueva Vizcaya education on Television (e-TV) packages, storybooks, school sup-plies were donated to beneficiary schools and pupils as follow:
Ukaw Elementary School E-TV Package and 500 pieces storybooks No. of pupils: 162

inch LeD Flat TV, DVD player and 33 volumes plus teacher guide for incorporation in les-son plans and teachers’ video. Ukaw elementary School Teacher-in-Charge Juan Laguit was all praises as he spoke of the day when “we are much blessed because we have our Santa Claus - The Tan Yan Kee Foun-dation and ABS-CBN Founda-tion. Very happy for these do-nations; these are the very im-portant materials to be used in
their daily teaching”. Mr. eduardo Lejao, repre-senting Aritao I District Supervi-sor Dr. Josie Conde pointed to the e-TV package of Bone North eS as a big factor in the elementa-ry school’s topping the NAT 2012 in Aritao, Sta. Fe,Nueva Vizcaya. “Thus”, he asked Ukaw eS to re-ceive the materials as “a rare op-portunity and to appreciate them as a major help for learning.” head Teacher III Virginia Batalla of Tabueng eS waxed poetic in her gratefulness on behalf of “six dedicated teachers and 117 pupils”, saying “When the heart is full, the tongue is empty… I am overwhelmed with this donation.” Mrs. Claverina Doculan Municipal Councilor, LGU- Ari-tao effectively summed up the local government’s appreciation saying, “thank you for all your
support to Tabueng eS, for put-ting much value on education; LGU officials are very thankful and we wish that the tribe of TYKFI flourish and be of continu-ing help to the entire country”. Grade 5 pupil Jervy Yu of Mangayang eS sincerely spoke of his deep gratitude saying, “Mag papasalamat po ako dahil binig-yan nyo po kami ng DVD mate-rial upang makatulong po sa aming pag-aaral. Nagpapasala mat po ako sa Tan Yan Kee dahil binigyan nyo po kami ng DVD material. MABU-HAY PO KAYO at ang ABS–CBN Foundation maraming salamat po.” Capping the December gift-giving, TYKFI celebrated with Tan Yan Kee elementary School, Macdu eS, and Buyasyas eS via a short Christmas program, featuring an inter-cultural ex-change by the pupils from the three schools performing their
local traditional dances. Cases of Roots Ginger Brew Drink courtesy of Asia Brew-ery, Incorporated and other gift items were given to the pupils and their families. Present during the simple program were TYKeS and Buy-ayas eS Principal Allan Pa-clit, Sta. Fe Vice Mayor Tidong Benito, Balete Brgy. Chairman Romeo Bugtong, and Macdu eS Principal Mia Ingusan.

The Foundation for Upgrading the Stan-dard of education, Inc. (FUSe) conducted
training programs for teaching for the first half of the year in Manila, Cavite, and Leyte in the subject areas of Mathemat-ics, Physics, Chemistry, english, and elementary Science and health. The Manila run was con-ducted from April 8-12 with 189 participating teachers; Leyte from April 15-19 with 194; and Cavite from May 27-31 with 113. Teacher-participants un-dergo on the first day a pre-test
for the subject areas to be cov-ered during the five-day train-ing. This is aimed at assessing participants’ initial learnings, initial inadequacies and mis-
conceptions that have to be addressed. Formal training uses form knowledge sessions, discussions, hands-on and laboratory activities, as well as
other forms of intervention. The final day comprises of in-tegration of learnings through teaching demonstrations and post-test, consisting of objec-tive type items. From comments elicited from participants in the post-test and Teaching Learning Sessions, impromptu approaches and in-novative methods and questions used by FUSe trainers impressed the trainees. They commit-ted to use such approaches for their effectiveness in their own teaching. FUSe also identifies possible trainors from the field of participants.

MEDICAL FORUM NO. 240COMMON ORTHOPAEDIC CONDITIONS OF THE HANDDiscussant: John Hubert C. Pua, M.D.
CArPAL Tunnel Syndrome is the most common nerve entrap-ment condition afflicting the
hand. In such a case, the median nerve is compressed in the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include wrist pain, the-nar muscle wasting, clumsiness such as dropping objects due to weakness and numbness of thumb, index, and middle fingers, and night time wakefulness. Treatment may be conservative with the use of splinting, intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injection, and physical therapy. It may also be addressed via surgical procedure such as open or endoscopic carpal tunnel release. Trigger Digit/Finger/Thumb (also known as Stenosing Flexor Tenosy-novitis) is characterized by catching, snapping or locking of the involved digit flexor tendon, associated with dysfunction and pain. Symptoms include stiffness of digits, triggering, tenderness, locking or catching during digit motion, and palpable snapping sensation. Pain along digit and over distal palm is present. Fixed deformity occurs in latter stages. Treatment options include splint-ing, administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid in-jection, physical therapy or percutane-ous and open surgical release. De Quervain Syndrome is the inflammation of the tendons located in the first dorsal compartment of the wrist near the base of the thumb. Symptoms include localized swelling and pain and tenderness at the base of the thumb aggravated by movement. Treatment includes splinting, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injections, physical ther-apy or open decompression surgery. Ganglion Cyst (also known as “Bible cyst”) is the most common soft tissue lesion of the hand. It is a tumor or swelling with thick, sticky, clear, colorless, jellylike material inside usu-ally found at the back or palmar area of the wrist.
Symptoms include some degree of pain and firm, non-tender and transilluminated mass changes in size. Treatment may include observa-tion and/or aspiration surgical exci-sion, arthroscopic excision. Gouty Arthritis is caused by ele-vated uric acid levels in the body, accu-mulating around the joints over time. This can trigger acute attacks of pain and swelling over the joint. Chronic and repeated attacks can damage the joint and lead to arthritis. Accumulation of uric acid crystals lead to tophi forma-tion. Symptoms include hot, red, swollen, painful joint usually after ingestion of alcohol or food high in purine content (beans, peas, shellfish, salmon, sardines, anchovies, liver, kidney, goose, turkey, bacon) and solid, non-tender masses over joints and earlobes for chronic cases. Treatment ranges from diet modification, use of ice compress, splinting, non-steroidal anti-in-flammatory drugs, anti-gout medi-cations to open or arthroscopic debridement for infected cases and
excision of tophi. rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, systemic disease that produces its most prominent manifes-tations in the joints. Both joint carti-lage and soft tissue are involved. The wrist and fingers are most commonly affected. Symptoms include pain, fever, fatigue, weakness, deformity, weight loss, joint swelling, morning stiffness lasting up to one hour, and symmetri-cal involvement of joints. Treatment options include splinting, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injection, disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, and physical therapy as well as surgical open or arthroscopic synovec-tomy, joint replacement, joint fusion. Osteoarthritis: is a degenerative condition of the joint cartilage with no clear and primary cause. It most com-monly affects the base of the thumb and ends of the fingers. Symptoms range from pain and swelling, redness, tenderness, to de-formity, decreased range of motion, and nodule formation in finger joints.
Treatment includes splinting, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, open or ar-throscopic synovectomy, joint replace-ment, and joint fusion.

OSTEOArTHrITIS is a progres-sive disease of the joints and is also known as “wear and tear”
arthritis. Characteristics of Knee Os-teoarthritis include those in the age range of more than 50 years old who are most commonly afflicted, morning stiffness of less than 30 minutes, limited motion of the knee, cartilage loss, destruction and erosion, bone pain on palpation, bony enlargement of the knee, bone cyst and spur formation, no palpable warmth, and crepitus. Treatment options include physi-cal therapy with use of heat packs, ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), training with use of cane or walker, exercise, acupuncture, and with accompany-ing weight reduction. Oral painkillers range from paracetamol to opioids such as Tramadol, anti-inflammatory medicines such as Flanax,Glucosamin-Chondroitin, Celebrex, Arcoxia, Alaxan, etc., and topical ointments. Steroid injection may also be utilized for pain relief as well as Hyaluronic acid injec-tion: for mild osteoarthritis. Surgical option is Joint replace-ment Surgery/Arthroplasty, where parts of the bones are removed and are replaced by metal or plastic com-ponents. Surgery is recommended based on the following indicators: • Severe joint pain or stiffness/deformity that limits everyday activities. • Hip/knee pain that continues while resting, either day or night. • Inadequate pain relief from anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, or walking supports. Preparation prior to surgery includes physical evaluation which means medical evaluation, tests,

TYKF-AABMSS MONTHLY MEDICAL FORUMEvery month, the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. and the Association of Asia Brewery Medical Specialty Scholars (AABMSS) hold a medical forum designed for laymen. The forum provides people with a venue to learn about the latest medical issues, trends, and available treatment options. Asia Brewery medical scholars render free consultations and discuss pertinent matters in layman’s language. The forum is held at the Century Park Sheraton.
preparing your skin, blood donations, medications, and degree of weight loss; and psychological evaluation. Possible complications to watch out for are infection, pneumonia, loos-ening and implant wear, dislocation, blood clots, and leg-length inequality. Success rate is very high with a 50% outcome due to surgery and 50% outcome due to patient’s commitment to recovery. Longevity of implant may last for 30 years with a 3-5% need for re-operation in the first ten years. Minimal invasive total knee replacement surgery carries smaller incision, lesser duration of rehabilita-tion, smaller wound with usually no need for blood transfusion, less tissue trauma, shorter hospital stay, muscle sparing technique, faster recovery towards walking, and lesser pain.
MEDICAL FORUM NO. 242MINIMALLY INVASIVE SUR-GERY FOR WOMEN’S DISEASEDiscussant: Susana Siy Lao, M.D.
L APArOTOMY is the tradi-tional open surgery performed through a “bikini” or “up and
down” skin incision, while minimally invasive surgery uses tiny scopes and surgical instruments which are inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. Some of these minimally invasive techniques are: Laparoscopy, where an incision is made in the umbilicus then a telescope attached to a monitor is inserted, enabling the surgeon to look directly at the outside of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and nearby organs. Two to three five-mm. incisions are made on each side of the pelvic area where instruments are inserted to perform the surgery, lasting from one to three hours depending on the complexity of the procedures.On rare occasions, the procedure is converted to open surgery in order to complete the excision. Conditions for the procedure include removal of diseased ovaries, ectopic pregnancy, uterine myoma, evaluation and treatment of infertility, diagnosis of pelvic pain, tubal recon-struction, treatment of polycystic ovaries, and hysterectomy. Factors to consider range from obesity, access to organs, history of dense scar tissue, operational bleeding problems, to other underlying medical conditions. Preparation for procedure includes administration of Bisacodyl 10 mg. in the morning, low residue diet for lunch, clear liquid diet for dinner, oral fleet of 45 ml. in the evening, and fleet enema if still needed in the morning of surgery.
Possible complications may in-clude bleeding inside the pelvis during the surgery, problem related to anes-thesia, injury to nearby organs such as the bowel or bladder. Laparoscopic surgery only re-quires a one centimetre incision with minimal pain and a short one-day to one-week hospital stay. Open surgery requires ten centimetre incision with moderate to severe pain and requires from three days to eight weeks of hospital stay. Hysteroscopy is a low-risk pro-cedure to remove growths from the womb such as myoma, polyps, and intrauterine adhesions. It is a minor surgery that can be performed either in the physician’s office or in a hospital setting. It can be performed with lo-cal, spinal, or general anesthesia, with some cases needing no anesthesia. A device called speculum is inserted to open up the walls of the vagina. A scope is then inserted through the cervix into the uterus and the entire uterine cavity is visualized through the monitor. The procedure is utilized for conditions with manifest bleeding in between normal periods, lost intra-uterine contraceptive device, heavy or irregular periods, repeated miscar-riage, bleeding after menopause, pelvic pain, unusual vaginal discharge, and infertility. Bleeding, infection, and perfora-tion of the uterus are possible compli-cations to monitor.
MEDICAL FORUM NO. 243ENDOVASCULAR PROCE-DURES IN AORTIC DISEASESDiscussant: Edgar Tuazon, M.D.
THE aorta is the largest artery in the body. It originates from the left ventricle of the heart, arch-
es above the heart before descending
through the back of the chest and to the abdomen. It sends branches to the brain, arms, organs in the abdomen, and the legs to supply the body with oxygen and nutrients. Aortic aneurysm is a bulging or ballooning of a weakened part of the aortic artery wall. It forms when the blood pumping out of the heart pushes on the weakened part of the aortic wall. In aneurysm, a ballooned part of the aorta is more than twice the size of the normal aortic diameter an a com-mon cause is atherosclerosis which weakens the wall of the aorta. Aortic dissection is a split or tear along the inner lining of the aortic wall. Dissections occur more frequently in regions of the aorta where pressure on the artery wall from blood flow is high. When the lining of the aortic wall is torn, it results into an inner and an outer channel. It may develop into an aortic aneurysm or the flap of the tear may actually block off the artery supplying the bowels, kidneys and the lower extremities. Common cause is high blood pressure. There are no symptoms for aortic aneurysm but is usually dis-covered during an x-ray study for physical examinations. Some patients complain of vague pains in their chest or abdomen while others have per-sistent cough or hoarseness. Large aneurysms can result to a pulsating feeling in the chest or abdomen. Aortic dissection may be preceded by sud-den intense pain across the chest and sometimes in the back between shoul-der blades. Common risk factors are cigarette smoking, inflammatory diseases of the aorta, trauma, inher-ited diseases lile Marfan’s or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and family history of aortic disease. regardless of location, an aortic aneurysm is dangerous be-
cause of the risk of rupture causing, life-threatening bleeding or haemor-rhage. When aortic dissection de-velops into an aneurysm, it is again dangerous. Treatment includes traditional surgery and endovascular surgery. The latter is a less invasive approach performed inside the blood vessesl under x-ray guidance and using cathe-ter-based devices.
MEDICAL FORUM NO. 244LIVEr CANCEr: WHAT ArE THE TrEATMENT OPTIONS?Discussant: Stephen N. Wong, M.D.
PrIMArY liver cancer in the Philippines has increased for the past several years. In fact,
the latest Philippines Cancer Fact Estimates places liver cancer as the second most common malignancy in 2005, next only to lung cancer. If left untreated, liver cancer carries a very poor prognosis with an average survival of only 6 months. This calls the public health authority to put em-phasis not only on the development of new and effective treatment options for liver cancer, but also on education and awareness of the people on how to prevent this deadly disease. Treatment options include the following: Liver resection or surgical tumor removal, which is the oldest but still one of the most effective treatment modalities. However, not all patients are amenable to surgery. The surgery itself carries 2-5% risk of dying during the peri-operative period. Liver transplantation, which is a very expensive procedure for well-se-lected patients. Liver transplantation results in very good 5-year survival rates (70%) and very low tumor recur-rence rates (<10%). Minimally invasive modalities or treatments that do not require surgery are good alternatives in patient who are not candidates for surgery, be-cause of its low risk of complications and high success rates, especially with smaller tumors. One such alternative is radiofrequency Ablation (rFA), which has high success rates and relatively low major complication rates (0-5%). The ability to completely destroy all tumor tissue with rFA is highest in tumors that are less than three cms. in diameter and is achieved in more than 90% of tumors in most series. A recent randomized con-trolled trial and also other trials showed that minimally invasive treatments may achieve the same overall results and tumor recurrence-free survival rates as resection (surgery) with less complica-tions and mortality.

The 2013 Kalanguya Festival town fiesta of Santa Fe in Nueva Viz-caya was made more
worthwhile by the medical-dental mission brought by the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc., benefitting close to 300 indig-enous people of the area. Dubbed “Santa Fe: Tinit-ingala, Dinadakila, Pinagpa-pala, Pinauunlad… para sa Tao at Bayan”, doctor and dentist-volunteers from UeRMMMC and the University of the east College of Dentistry, assisted by nurses and healthworkers of the LGU of Sta. Fe diagnosed, treated, prescribed and gave medicines to the recipients. Majority of the beneficiaries were first-time dental patients. The group also donated medicines and medical supplies to the Barangay health Station located at the Municipal hall
Compound which will serve the less privileged. The dona-tion represents the seed medi-cine and medical supplies for a community “botika”, which will be given free to indigent Philhealth members. The local government will then submit the cost to Philhealth for reim-bursement. To complete the “fiesta gift”, TYKFI enrolled some 450 farmers from Nueva Vizcaya to the Sponsored Program of the Government under the Partial Subsidy Scheme of Philhealth. This is part of TYKFI’s effort to help the government provide health services to low-income rural residents, and for the NV farmers to form part of the earlier enrolled 3,036 indigent members from the provinces of Ilocos Sur, La Union, Abra, Oc-cidental Mindoro, Leyte, Pan-gasinan and Albay who are not
included in the NhTS-PR poor list of the DSWD. health care is a vital ser-vice that daily touches the lives of millions of Filipinos espe-cially the people in the rural ar-eas. Rural areas in general have greater concentrations of elder-ly people than in urban areas. An older population is more likely to have chronic health care needs, and other people may be less able to travel to ob-tain health care services. Due to poorer access to mass media and lower edu-cational levels, health educa-tion efforts is hampered, with the result that rural residents may be less familiar with pre-ventive health measures and less aware of public programs. Philhealth has therefore com-mitted to conduct information, education, and communica-tion activities on the policies,
rules and regulations relative to Program benefits, availment procedures, and the rights and obligations of a member to the identified beneficiaries. Giving the celebration an even more festive air were the University of the east Chorale, The U.e. Silanganan Dance Troupe, and the PeP Squad, prompting town Mayor Te-odorico DP. Padilla, Jr. to com-ment that “this is one of a kind festivities in our town…the whole day we have doctors and dentists from UeRMMMC and Ue which provided medi-cal and dental mission, and we are entertained by the Ue PeP Squad and Silanganan Dance Troupe and of course we were serenaded by the award-win-ning Ue Chorale. Again to Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Ue and UeRMMMC…a million thanks from the people of Sta. Fe.”

MASA Florenda Small Water Impounding Project (SWIP) is lo-
cated in Barangay San Andres, Balungao, Pangasinan. Con-structed in 1992, it was built in cooperation with the Bureau of Soils and Water Management and has been serving the needs of the area for more than 20 years. It was also rehabilitated by the Provincial Government of Pangasinan. however, there are portions which need to be removed, rehabilitated, and re-placed with new structure to maximize its potential and use. Topographic survey was conducted to gather data. On the agronomic evaluation, paddy rice production has been practiced since then in the area. Study also shows that for the first and second cropping sea-son, supplemental irrigation is a must to produce high yield for the 50- hectare area and will benefit 30 farmers. Proper water management is necessary to optimize use of impounded water. The sharing of produce (fish and palay) between the land owners of pond area and the farmers must be observed. The study establishes both technical and economic feasi-
bility and benefits of the reha-bilitation. The proposed improve-ments include the following: n replacement of steel gate valve (30 cm dia.) in order to regulate/control the use of im-pounded water; n construction of concrete drainage canal on the abut-ments to address gullies along the downstream and upstream face of the dam which will cause the collapse and over top-ping of the embankment; n rehabilitation of existing concrete canal which includes removal and replacement of cracked concrete canal, replace-ment of canal walls and floors; n concrete lining of the ex-isting seven hundred fifty (750) meter trapezoidal earth canal with 40 cm. base, 40 cm. high concrete hollow blocks n construction of ten (10) meter-long concrete flume. The canal foundation of this ten me-ter portion of the canal is already scoured and given the difficulty to backfill the foundation, it is a safe alternative to construct a flume; n construction of five (5) division boxes along the 750 meter lined canal to have effi-cient distribution systems.

Dr. Lucio c. TanChairman and President, Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc.Chairman of the Board and CEO, University of the East
it is my distinct honor to congratulate the scholars and grantees of the University of the East-Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. who graduated this past school year, with seven receiving Magna Cum Laude
honors and 15 graduating Cum Laude.
In more ways than one, your hard work and dedication are now beginning to bear fruit. Your years in college further honed your skills and knowledge. Use them now for productive endeavors.
I have always been deeply committed to the pursuit of education. Not having been a recipient of a scholarship grant in my younger years when my family’s financial conditions were not as favorable, I fully appreciate the difficulties of completing a college degree. Even during those years, I already believed that being poor is never a reason to give up. I persevered with dedication and a clear vision, knowing that lack of resources is an obstacle, but one that can be won.
As you put your education to good use, always remember that having been recipients of support from the University of the East and the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, you are now also in a position to help others. Sharing is the spirit that drives the Tan Yan Kee Foundation to reach out and help. It is this spirit that I ask each of you to practice as you find your place in the world.
Once again, I sincerely congratulate the graduates and wish you all the best!
