The Skin Research Foundation of the Philippines, Inc., in partnership with the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center (JRRMMC) National Specialty Center for Dermatology, celebrated the spirit of the season through its annual thanksgiving event, PAMASKONG HANDOG, held on December 9 to 11, 2025, at the JRRMMC Department of Dermatology Outpatient Department.
 

Guided by Dr. Ma. Flordeliz Abad-Casintahan, Chair and President of the Skin Research Foundation, and supported by the JRRMMC consultants, alumni, staff, and generous sponsors, the event reflected hope, compassion, and community.
 

A total of 230 patients, including members of the Bullous Club, Skin Cancer Support group, Hansen’s Disease Club, and Psoriasis Club, received Christmas gift bags containing a Noche Buena package with spaghetti, assorted canned goods, and powdered drinks. In addition, patients were given complimentary topical and oral medications as prescribed by their attending physicians.
 

Through the dedication and collective effort of all involved, PAMASKONG HANDOG brought the foundation’s mission to life by serving those who need it most. The celebration stood as a meaningful expression of compassion and care during the Christmas season.
 

Merry Christmas to all. May this season continue to inspire us to share love, light, and care with those in need
