Beat It!: Fighting Cervical Cancer One Beat At A Time

Philippines Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS) and sponsored by GSK Philippines organized the dancefest  as “Beat It!: Fighting Cervical Cancer One Beat At A Time” held last Thursday night at the Plenary Hall of the Philippine International Convention Center.

Leading Obstetrical Gynecologists and almost 1500 doctors danced their way to raising funds to fight Cervical Cancer,  the second biggest cause of female cancer mortality in the country.

Doing one thing, in one place – dancing and grooving together for the 12 women who are about to die because of the fatal but highly preventive disease. It is not the winning of the world record but saving the lives of Filipinas everyday from the cervical cancer by raising awareness and action is the true triumph of the dance fest.

For the warm-up started  “Gangnam Style”song was played and celebrity Anne Curtis,  spokesperson for GSK Philippines’ Cervical Cancer Prevention campaign opened the program with “Call Me Maybe.”

Also present during the event were Richard Yap (aka Papa Chen), Jason Zamora of Manouvers and the Philippine All Star.

To stop the human papiloma virus (HPV), the cause of cervical cancer from infecting women, an effective and so important relevant cervical cancer vaccine is necessary. The Beat It!: Fighting Cervical Cancer One Beat At A Time dance fest encourages Filipinas to be healthy by taking care of yourself.

This is an amazing event with a great cause. Let us all support this campaign and help prevent Cervical Cancer!
