After the event we have approached the congressman, however he responded to us that he cannot help us as an organization with medical needs. As a congressman, he can only help individual indigent patients in terms of financial assistance - most specially for hospitalizations and burials. Nonetheless, this was good exposure for hemophilia awareness to the general public, with over 200 people as audience during the event.

AWARENESS CAMPAIGN DURING RAMOS CITY DISTRICT DANCE FESTIVAL
During a dance festival at Ramos city district in Cebu city, HAPI-C had a short video presentation on hemophilia. We played this because there were local level politicians present during the event, one of them a congressman. We also gave away our "What Is Hemophilia" pamphlets to the audience.
