Tonight's special presentation on Straight from the Sky is extra special for me because my guest has come to Cebu only for a very short visit a couple of weeks ago as St. Luke's Medical Center brought him to the Philippines so he could give a lecture on the field of Cardiology. Our guest is Dr. Ruperto D. Mayuga, who originally came from Bicol and moved to Cebu when he was young. After his medical studies in Velez, he took his residency at the Cardinal Santos Medical Center and at the Philippine Heart Center.

                    [Summary] => Last Saturday, The Philippine STAR came out with the news about that Social Weather Station (SWS) survey that showed that 16.7 percent of Filipino families went hungry in the last three months of 2005. Accordingly, the last survey showed figures of 16.1 percent in March 2001, while last August it was 15.5 percent. What does these surveys show? That many of our brethren have no food on the table or they have very little to eat. While this may be true in urban centers, I’m sure this is not true in the provinces where people have more than enough rootcrops to eat.
