Surgeons from the US to the Phils for the No Needle/No Scalpel Vasectomy Mission

Tuesday Feb.1, 2011 - Day 1 -  the travel  of the NSVI  Team from the US  to Cebu City @Sacred Heart Hospital




Our flight path took us over the South China Sea east of Vietnam ...


                          

... and over the northern Philippine island of Luzon and the capitol Manila.


Departure from Hong Kong's magnificent Chek Lap Kok Airport, all built on reclaimed land.
 Saralena of the Gabriel Films ( who arrived earlier) was there to pick us up at the Cebu Airport.



Posters had been hung at Sacred Heart Hospital announcing the arrival of the American Vasectomy Team and the opportunity to get a free vasectomy


                                                
While the 3 vasectomists/surgeons were doing the NSV procedure inside, Social Worker/Facilitator Frohnie  and NSVI cofounder Bob Kiamco, with BHW Merlyn, conducted NSV Education to local men, emphasizing on  the No Changes/No Side Effects whatsoever  on the sexual functioning or strength  of the men... having had Vasectomy many years ago 


The news media were there to interview  the NSVI Team, in this photo, interview with  Ramon Suarez,President and Co-founder of NSVI. We were immediately challenged with questions about how we would respond to opposition form the Catholic Church.


 
Conversation re: NSV with Dr. Joseph Alesna, NSVI certified local NSV provider  and Dr. Ronald Suarez, New York based practitioner,  but underwent  NSV @Sacred Heart Hospital few years back, son of NSVI Pres. Dr. Ramon Suarez who also had Vasectomy many years ago.


After a long first day of the NSV Mission, deserved a nice meal at a Cebu restaurant. Their  first evening meal: Dr. Ramon Suarez,(NSVI Pres.) Joel (Videographer), Jonathan Stack (NY based Gabriel Films Executive Producer/Director) Dr. Douglas Stein (Urologists/NSV Provider,Florida),  Dr. Nenita Suarez (Dr.Ramon's wife and VP of NSVI), Saralena Wienfield ( Gabriel Films Videographer/FilmMaker) Dr. Ronald Suarez (Drs. Ramon/Nenita  son, had been vasectomized already just like his father  and also a graduate of SWU Medical School, Cebu Phils)
