Recent news reported that Gensan’s last count was 21. The country? It now has over 900 cases but in 2007, it was only 280. Scary, right? But hey, I am not a victim.; just building an awareness.

 Sharing with you a post-release article on EB hero.  A Story of Mark, the EB Hero: Creating a legacy of fulfilling dreams The true heroes I honorably represent are these tireless, selfless and super dedicated young volunteers! The butterfly effect states that even a small act, such as the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings, can bring about a tornado somewhere in the world.

This is the guiding adage of Mark Aethen Agana, co-founding member of the T’nalak Youth Group (TYG) – an organization composed of college students from the Notre Dame of Marbel University (NDMU) in South Cotabato.
