“Nang makita ko ang aking kapwa beneipisaryo ng 4Ps na nagsusulat sa Landbank form, naisip ko ang kahalgahan na matuto ako at ito ang nag-udyok sa akin upang magsimula .” Rodrigo Arendain, San Andres, Quezon

“Sa 15 taon ng aking pagiging midwife, ngayon lang tumaas ang bilang ng mga kumukonsulta at nagpapabakuna sa health center. Nawala na din ang masamang paniniwala nila sa negatibong epekto ng bakuna sa bata” Rosma Flores, Midwife, San Remigio, Antique
