Where to find an Ostomy Support Group in the Philippines?

I would like to share a helpful and informative website promoting awareness for Filipinos living with abdominal conditions that require them to live with colostomy bags or to have a stoma in place. These are pouching systems or holes place in the abdomen area to collect waste from the body (in place of orifices that have been damaged by disease).

Colostomy Friends of the Philippines is a blog for Pinoy ostomates. Through experiences of members of this support group, one can exchange information on how to better manage their pouch bags, how to deal with Stoma Skin Irritation, irrigation techniques, etc.

Why do Filipinos carry Umbrellas even when it’s Sunny outside?

Well, it’s hot to begin with and Pinoys love the shade. Most pinays don’t want their skins to get any darker. From a twisted cultural perspective, fair-skin and light colored skin is preferred or considered a marker of beauty. Hence, the umbrellas to shield the richly Gluthathione-fed skin of Pinays.

Some though, simply don’t want to get sunburned or suffer from heatstroke.
