Filipinos were told to talk openly about breast cancer to instill the importance of health literacy.

For a Filipino health expert, now is the right time to start talking more openly about cancer, its treatments, and risks.

“From here, we will be able to reach more people,” Samala said in a forum about breast cancer held Monday, Feb. 27. In the same forum, Aileen Antolin of the Philippine Foundation for Breast Care highlighted that patients, families, and the public in general should not be ashamed of saying the term “breast,” especially when pertaining to breast-cancer related matters.

Samala and Antolin both expressed a similar goal: to make Filipinos aware of the importance of early detection and screening in saving lives.
