𝗩𝗠𝗠𝗖 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗧 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝟮: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 💚💙

The VMMC Department of Family Medicine and Outpatient Services, in partnership with the Philippine Military Academy Retirees Association, Inc. (PMARA), held the second hybrid forum of CADET (Care, Access to Benefits, Disease and Treatment) on September 23, 2026, focusing on “Resilience to Retirement.”

The forum brought together experts and military retirees for meaningful discussions on the evolving needs of modern veterans—from VMMC’s new facilities and capabilities and the VALOR Clinics, to building physical and mental resilience, preventing chronic diseases, and promoting healthy sleep and early intervention after military retirement.

Adm. Rafael G. Mariano AFP (Ret) welcomed the face-to-face and online participants and encouraged them to take advantage of the presence of VMMC’s exceptional physicians to discuss their health concerns. Meanwhile, MGen Romeo C. Prestoza AFP (Ret), culminated the forum with his speech thanking PMARAI cavaliers for their participation, and the VMMC delegation headed by Dr. Peter Paul Reuben G. Galvez. Dr. Felix P. Terencio, Jr., served as moderator.

CADET Forum 2 is an iteration of a similar program last year that was conceptualized and led by Dr. Jamie Y. Bernardino of VMMC DFP-OPS, who received a commendation from PMARAI. It aims to strengthen VMMC’s partnership with the military retirees community by promoting not only access to healthcare and benefits, but also a healthier, more resilient, and more meaningful life after service. 🇵🇭💚💙

The Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) held the blessing and opening of its new Records Depository Center, a concrete step toward strengthening the hospital’s records management, institutional governance, and preservation of its organizational memory.

Established through the initiative of the VMMC Records Management Improvement Committee (RMIC) headed by Ms. Estelita Carpio Estabillo, CPA, MBA, in coordination with the National Archives of the Philippines (NAP), the facility will serve as a dedicated repository for institutional records, providing a secure and organized environment for their proper storage, safekeeping, preservation, and eventual disposition in accordance with established records management policies and protocols.

Ms. Wendy H. Sacramed, NAP’s Records Management Analyst II, graced the event as Guest of Honor, together with VMMC top management officials and representatives from various hospital departments.

More than a repository, the new facility represents VMMC’s continuing commitment to responsible records governance and the preservation of documents that support its day-to-day operations, institutional accountability, and seven-decade history.

Through this initiative, Team Healing HEROES continues to build systems that protect not only the hospital’s records, but also the institutional knowledge, heritage, and collective memory entrusted to VMMC for generations to come. 💚💙

After a full day of learning, reflection, and team-building, Team Healing HEROES heads home from Project H.E.A.L. Executive Town Hall 4 held at the Office of Civil Defense in Camp Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

The day began with a guided tour of the AFP Museum, followed by an important discussion with Ms. Liezel Mendoza of OCD-NCR on VMMC’s role and preparedness should “The Big One” hit Metro Manila. She also shared an update on the very strong El Niño recently discovered by scientists as actively intensifying across the tropical Pacific and is forecast to persist through the first half of 2027.

As participants boarded the bus, Medical Director Dr. Peter Paul Reuben G. Galvez personally sent off the team with a simple but thoughtful, “Thank you.” 🇵🇭🩺💚

Ngayong National Depression Education and Awareness Month, pag-uusapan natin ang mindfulness and depression, at kung ano ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ng “being present” kapag mabigat ang pinagdadaanan.

Kapag may depression, hindi lang sadness ang nararanasan. Puwedeng kasama rito ang pagod, kawalan ng gana, hirap mag-concentrate, at mga thoughts na paulit-ulit na bumabalik. Kaya minsan, kahit ang simpleng “focus ka lang sa present” ay hindi ganoon kadali.

So, ano nga ba ang mindfulness? Kailangan ba talagang mag-meditate? Paano kung hindi naman peaceful ang present moment? At saan ito maaaring mag-fit sa mas malawak na pangangalaga para sa depression?

This Saturday, let’s have a compassionate and honest conversation about what mindfulness can offer, and what it cannot do. Because mental health care is not about finding one magic solution. It’s about understanding what we’re going through, knowing our options, and finding the right support.

Join us as we explore mindfulness, depression, and what it means to meet ourselves where we are.
