What We DID
A peek of our journey
VISION AND MISSION
We are medical students from Ateneo de Zamboanga University- School of Medicine. We are comprised of nine heads, eighteen feet, all walking towards one same destination – MD, MPH. And this blog? THIS is our JOURNEY. Travel along with us as we unravel parts of ourselves unknown even to us, as we venture into regions outside the boundaries of social entities we’ve long been existing in. Rejoice with us. Struggle with us. BE ONE OF US.
VISION
The Home-Along-Manguiles group envisions a thriving, healthy community wherein the social, environmental, and economic states coexists in equilibrium. Furthermore, we envision of equitable community engagement, inter-sectoral partnerships, political commitment, a healthy public policy, and an asset-based community development.
MISSION

Hence, we exist to strengthen mutually-supportive relationships and networks by integrating strong local, cultural and spiritual heritage in responsible usage of resources to ensure long-term sustainability.
Profiles
We've got a top notch team!
Ahamed Kabeer, Fathima
Safe Water Practices Project Leader
Kekong is a lioness clothed in a prayer robe. She is brutally honest yet compassionate, independent yet maternal, intelligent yet sensitive, and serious yet fun-loving. She led the group the longest because of her power to empower.
Ahmad, Ameer Eldin
Barangay Health Services Project Leader
Although the quiet guy, Din has a lot to say when he is passionate about something. This is not just by words but even by his actions. When he sets his mind on it, he will do it despite the many challenges. He is persistent and this has in so many ways helped Manguiles become what it is now.
Cabanlit, Pillar del Cielo
Solid Waste Management Project Leader
Pillar is like a seed that grew as time passed by in the community immersions. With the saddening realities that showered her awareness through the years, she matured into a more energetic and passionate person who was willing to give shelter to the community people who were burnt out with their problems.
Daguio, Janna Rae
Hypertension Project Leader
Janna’s personality is as lovely as her voice. She is like a secret magnet that even the community people whom she just met were willing to share their life story and secrets with her. Although silent most of the time, she is the best card when the team is asked to present with intermission numbers.
Francisco, Jessa
Barangay Health Services Project Leader
Jessa is someone you can easily get along with, and is always fun to be around with. She likes to sing and dance even when there is no occasion. She puts thought and care in everything she does. She is a sweet friend, and a great soon-to-be doctor.
