On April 25, SBRP together with Pangasinan Medical Society, staff of Dagupan Doctors Villaflor Memorial Hospital, LTO and Vintage Club conducted an Operation Tuli at Barangay Babasit, Manaoag, Pangasinan.  Thirty three (33) children were operated or circumcised during the half-day activity.  Dr. Boc Bonifacio and Dr. Juvie Villaflor led the team of doctors who performed circumcision procedure.  Other officers and members who were present during this surgical mission were Past Presidents Bert Jimenez, Greg De Guzman and Mark Rosario, Treasurer Juliet Andrada, Ms. Lorie Paras, Ms. Suzette Bautista and Ms. Haroline Ibay.

SBRP, in coordination with the PVI Foundation, had donated cash and participated in the “Kamp Pagkakaisa” held on April 15-24, 2009 at the Mabalacat Elementary School, Mabalacat, Pampanga by conducting medical screening of special children who converged together to join several activities. “Kamp Pagkakaisa” is annual institutional project of SBRP where Past President Mark Rosario is an active officer of the PVI Foundation.

These twin projects are done as part of the SBRP’s social involvement to the community and our concern with children.
