Why Cervical Cancer?
It is estimated that about eleven (11) women succumb to cervical cancer each day. It is the second most common cancer in women, after breast. But why cervical cancer? Cervical cancer is the ONLY cancer that can be almost entirely preventable, potentially curable if diagnosed early, and possibly be eliminated toward a cervical cancer-free future.
Recently the World Health Organisation announced its accelerated global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer. The global strategy highlights three main points – vaccine, screening and treatment, also known as the 90–70–90 targets. The goal is to achieve: an increase of HPV vaccination to 90%, cervical screening of the total women population of 70%, and treatment of pre-invasive lesions and invasive cancer to 90% by 2030. In his welcome address, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus quotes, “Every year, we lose more than 300,000 women to a disease which is almost entirely preventable and potentially curable if diagnosed early. We have the tools to make cervical cancer history“. But despite this, why are we still losing a lot of women daily in our country?
In 2001, the World Health Organization Survey reports, only 7.7% of our total women population aged 18 to 65 years underwent screening. This dismal show up coupled with the lack of symptoms experienced by most women during the precancer and early stages of disease are some of the main causes of the high incidence of cervical cancer in the Philippines.
cerviQ is a social enterprise that focuses on cervical cancer awareness, prevention, early detection, referrals for treatment, and a data repository for comparative studies and research purposes.

Screen to Save: Malolos Unites to End Cervical Cancer
On April 24, 2025, the City of Malolos City Health Office launched a cervical cancer prevention training titled “See Screen Save Lives!”, led by Dr. Frederick Villano and supported by Mayor Christian Natividad.
Fourteen midwives and nurses from seven rural health units received hands-on training in Pap smear and VIA screening, guided by Dr. Jesus Randy “Bogs” Rivera of End Cervical Cancer Philippines Organization, Inc.
The event emphasized the city’s commitment to eliminating cervical cancer, aligning with Provincial Health Officer Dr. Edwin Tecson’s call to screen over 38,000 women in Bulacan.
Vital support came from civic partners like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which donated screening equipment, and We Bless We Care Foundation.
This collaborative effort showcased the power of grassroots healthcare in preventing cervical cancer—proving that through education, training, and compassion, we can “Screen to Save.”

As we look to the future, let this be our shared message: Screen to Save.🎉 Kudos to HEPU Lungsod ng Sto. Tomas, Batangas — A Truly Remarkable Milestone! 💜
A heartfelt congratulations to the Health Education and Promotions Unit (HEPU) of the City of Santo Tomas, Batangas, led by the inspiring Dr. Arnielyn Marasigan-Aguirre and the ever-committed Ms. Joy Ferreras! 🙌
Over the course of 21 cervical cancer screening days, a total of 571 women have been screened — averaging 27 women per day! 📈✨ This incredible achievement is a reflection of relentless dedication, passion, and an unwavering commitment to women's health.
A special shoutout goes to ALL BARANGAY LEADERS, MEEMBERS who went above and beyond, helping pool more than 30 women per screening day. Your exceptional leadership and genuine compassion are saving lives and setting a powerful example for others. Your efforts show what is possible when communities come together with a shared purpose — protecting the health and future of women. 💜
Cervical cancer screening saves lives — early detection prevents unnecessary suffering and death. Every screening day brings us closer to the Department of Health’s (DOH) vision under the Cervical Cancer Elimination Campaign, aiming to screen at least 5% of the total at-risk population this year — that’s several thousands of women that need to be reached!
It’s UNFORTUNATE, however, that SOME barangays could only GATHER 7 to 8 women per screening day. 😔 To those communities, we HOPE you REALIZE the OPPORTUNITY being MISSED. In Manila, this life-saving procedure can cost up to ₱2,500 — yet here, it’s being made ACCESSIBLE FOR FREE. Screening could spare lives — sometimes all it takes is spreading information and persuading women to seize the chance to get checked.
Mabuhay, HEPU! Mabuhay to all leaders and champions who recognize the urgency and importance of this mission! Together, let’s continue moving closer to a future free of cervical cancer. 💪💜
