A Socio-civic advocate has spearheaded a medical mission in a town in Laguna province, offering free circumcision for adolescents as a rite of passage to manhood.
The organizer, Kono Salinas, in a press statement said the medical mission will be held in Binan, Laguna.
Last Sunday, June 25, Kono Salinas co-organized a Medical Mission at the Town Hall and Country Southville multi-purpose basketball court, known as “Operation Binata,” the statement read.
“This medical mission focused on providing free circumcisions to qualified males residing in Barangay Sto. Tomas and nearby areas. In collaboration with the Tau Gamma Phi Triskelion Grand Fraternity Sto. Tomas Chapter’s Grand Triskelion, Larry Marco Sabado, the event was a resounding success,” it added.
