Colostomy LIfe / Ostomy News Notes (Philippines)

I would like to present to you the Ostomy News Notes which is a reading material for people with colostomy bags/pouches. Life remains beautiful in spite of pouch bags. There are many people in the Philippines who look for support groups and venues to share experiences. Hopefully, we can gather and take time to exchange stories as soon as we strengthen our friendships and trust.

I hope you enjoy reading the latest issue (December 2008) of the news notes which is in honor of our friends most especially in Japan during the 6th AOA conference from November 13 - 16, 2008. It was also the time for me of being nominated and likewise elected to the coordination committee of the Asian Ostomy Association. The other members come from Malaysia and Japan. It has been an honor for a Philippine representative and serve the cause of ostomates in the Asia region.

A Merry Christmas to all and a Happy and Blessed 2009 New Year.
