'Tribe Doctor/Cancer Patient' Named Bayaning Pilipino
Not even the pain she constantly tries to endure from her Stage 4 cancer can stop Dr. Welthy Villanueva from crossing from one river to another, just to render medical aid to some of the country’s most remote tribes. With Villanueva’s relentless and selfless commitment to the needy, she truly deserves to be hailed as this year’s Gawad Geny Lopez Jr. Bayaning Pilipino Individual awardee.
