CORPORATE VISION “The Philippine Tuberculosis Society, Inc. is the premier non-government organization working for TB control in the Philippines. We want to be known as a center of excellence in TB research, training, clinical management, and innovative community-based approaches.”

CORPORATE MISSION “We strive to complement the government’s National TB Control Program, to instill professionalism and integrity in our organization, to win the satisfaction of our clients and donors through the efficient and effective delivery of our services.”

Histor y of PTSI and Advocacy The Philippine Tuberculosis Society, Inc. (PTSI) is the pioneering institution in the country’s efforts at tuberculosis (TB) prevention, control and treatment. It is a nongovernment, non-stock, non-profit organization that has been engaged in the struggle against this dreaded disease for more than a century.

Founded on July 29, 1910, it was originally called the Philippine Islands Anti-Tuberculosis Society, ante-dating both the Philippine Commonwealth (1935) and Philippine Republic (1946).

On December 14, 1918, the Society opened its Santol Sanatorium in Quezon City. Now known as the Quezon Institute, the sanatorium started with 14 nipa houses for TB patients. It operated under the belief that isolation, bed rest, fresh air and nutritious food would cure tuberculosis.

Recognizing the severity of TB as a public health threat, President Manuel L. Quezon signed Republic Act 4130 in

1934 and established the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) making the Society a major beneficiary.

To this day, the Department of Health (DOH) and other public agencies, provide annual grants under Commission on Audit strictures. PTSI operated 52 chest clinics throughout the country until 2000 when financial strains and the advances of DOTS necessitated the reduction of branch clinics to 12.

In the last seven years, the Society has taken significant steps to revitalize the organization and has advanced in its TB control and medical technology. It downsized its hospital operations and shifted to investing more in capacity building for research, training, advocacy and education functions.

PTSI intends to promote mass health screening, expand into public policy formulation and lobbying for relevant health measures.

MESSAGE Greetings from the Philippine Tuberculosis Society, Inc. (PTSI) !

With heartfelt gratitude I salute our patrons, sponsors, fund campaign volunteers and all those who have supported PTSI’s block screening of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This fund raising activity is definitely a lending hand to the financial needs of our TB control programs, amongst which is the strengthening of our provincial branch clinics to make each one more progressive and attuned to the needs of the community. To cite an example, early this year our newly renovated Tacloban clinic which was devastated by Typhoon Yolanda was formally inaugurated, with the generous help of the GT Foundation. Now, our Tacloban chest clinic and dispensary is better than before, geared with modern equipment for a wider array of TB health care services. There is still a lot to be done before we can win the fight against tuberculosis. But your continuing support will serve as the Society’s beacon of inspiration towards victory over TB.

As Christmas is drawing near, let us thank God for His daily blessings foremost of which is good health.

With this, let us not forget that to be well also means that we should care for those who are sick.

To all our friends and supporters, have a blessed and joyful Christmas!

MRS. ZENEIDA QUEZON AVANCEÑA President

MESSAGE Most of us have personal advocacies close to our hearts and I’m one with those who wish to reach out to our helpless and most especially sick countrymen.

As General Fund Campaign Chairperson of the Philippine Tuberculosis Society, Inc. (PTSI), I have personally experienced how tuberculosis can ravage one’s life, more so in the case of our indigent brothers and sisters. Although TB is still a leading killer disease in our country, it is highly curable and we are slowly gaining grounds on it. Our victory over TB would mean healthier and more productive lives especially among the marginalized communities where this infectious disease can spread rapidly.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a major fund raiser of PTSI for its TB control programs. The Society needs everyone’s help and support not just as it goes forward into a more progressive approach of TB treatment, but also as it ventures into research and training activities that will ultimately spell the prevention and eradication of the disease in the country.

Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng tumulong at sa patuloy na tumutulong sa PTSI. You serve as our undying inspiration to continue the fight against TB. Mabuhay kayong lahat!

MRS. NELIA T. GONZALEZ, PH.D. National Fund Campaign Chairperson

About TB Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is mainly acquired by inhalation of infectious droplets containing viable tubercle bacilli.

Infectious droplets can be produced by coughing, sneezing, talking and singing.

TB in the Philippines Last March 2015, the Department of Health (DOH) reported that the Philippines is one of the seven among the 22 high-burdened countries that has achieved its 2015 Millennium Development Goal (MDG) in fighting tuberculosis (TB) as early as 2012. DOH disclosed that there has been a marked decline in TB burden since the launching of the DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course) strategy in 1996 adding that as of 2013, cases and deaths due to TB were reduced by more than 50% from the 1990 baseline.

In 2011, rapid diagnostic tools such as Line Probe Assay, Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube and GeneXpert were introduced to improve and lessen turnaround time of multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB diagnosis. There is also a continuous expansion of services for drug resistant TB cases to at least one treatment /satellite center per province and the highly urbanized city.

The success of the national TB program can be attributed to past efforts like the implementation of the DOTS Strategy or “Tutok-Gamutan�, management of the multidrug resistant TB, initiation of public-private mix DOTS, implementation of TB in children program, and the enhancements of DOTS through the adoption of the WHOendorsed STOP TB strategy and expansion of services to the vulnerable groups like the inmates and people living with HIV.

The Philippines currently ranks 9th among the 22 high TB burden countries in the world with TB as the 8th most common killer disease among Filipinos.

PTSI- TACLOBAN:

Devastation After Typhoon Yolanda On November 2013, super typhoon Haiyan (called Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines) struck Tacloban Leyte, severely devastating the Tacloban chest clinic and dispensary. The clinic fell victim to the rampant looting in the typhoon’s aftermath. Through all these difficult and trying times, the staff of the Tacloban branch clinic composed of a nurse, a utility aide and campaign secretary continued to man their posts.

10

Despite being typhoon victims themselves, the clinic’s staff went the extra mile to search for TB patients under its care to ensure that they get their usual medication and treatment. TB services were conducted in a makeshift tent as the clinic has been seriously damaged. The necessary TB medications continued to be dispensed to patients who went to the clinic, although sputum examinations and x-ray services had to be suspended because the clinic’s equipment and laboratory facilities were destroyed.

The silver lining after the storm came via the generous donation and support of Dr. George S.K. Ty of Metrobank Group through the GT Foundation, Inc. The repair and rehabilitation of PTSI’s EVCCD was funded by the GT Foundation and on March 29, 2016, the newly renovated Tacloban branch clinic was formally inaugurated.

The EVCCD now is better than before. Besides providing the community with TB medications, the clinic is geared for a wide array of TB health care services aimed to complement the government’s initiatives on TB detection, treatment and care as follows:

· Free TB medical consultation · Chest X-ray · Direct Sputum Smear Microscopy (DSSM) testing · Dispensing free TB drugs

The clinic has also started to engage the community for TB referrals and now has an existing partnership with INSPIRE, a group of pulmonologists in Eastern Visayas.

We can truly say that after 80 years in Tacloban, PTSI remains as a valued TB service provider in the community and shall remain as committed to its vision of seeing a TBfree Philippines.

PTSI PROGRAMS AND SERVICES QUEZON INSTITUTE The QI is the hospital arm of the Society. It has a 50-bed ward that meets international standards for infection control for multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) patients and a separate 30-bed ward for “socialized” TB patients.

A. DOTS QI also supervises the operations of the PTSI DOTS Center, a Public-Private Mix DOTS (PPMD) unit inside the compound. The clinic, a recipient of a 2-year USAID grant under the Philippine Tuberculosis Initiatives for the Private Sector (PhilTIPS) Project, is now self- sustaining in its operations.

B. Central Laborator y The institute’s Central Laboratory was thoroughly renovated by Medicos del Mundo of Spain in 2003. Considered one of the best TB laboratories in the country today, it is capable of performing TB smears, culture and sensitivity testing. The laboratory underwent further improvement in 2008, in collaboration with the Tropical Disease Foundation, Inc. (TDF), transforming it into a culture center for the MDR-TB program. It is now certified by the National TB Reference Laboratory (NTRL) as a Culture Center and Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) Center for first line drugs. Its TB diagnostic services also include two (2) Xpert/MTB/RIF and one (1) MGIT provided by the Programmatic Multi-drug Resistant TB (PMDT) project. The laboratory currently process 20-30 AFB smears and 15-20 cultures for TB per day.

PTSI Central Laboratory is an accredited Training Center for Direct Sputum Smear Microscopy (DSSM) in the private sector by the National TB Reference Laboratory (NTRL).

12

C. Mobile X-ray The Department of Radiology, aside from serving in and out patients, is equipped with one (1) mobile x-ray van that is also capable of performing AFB smears, CBC, and urinalysis. It forms part of PTSI’s out-reach program serving various companies, organizations, government agencies, and communities in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

D. MDR-TB KASAKA (Kabalikat at Kalusugan) The KASAKA facility caters to the MDR-TB patients of PTSI. It also houses patients undergoing treatment.

launched its TB seals for 2016 last August 17, at the Julia Vargas Hall in the Quezon Institute Compound.

Since its establishment in 1910, PTSI annually launches the TB seals campaign-- a major fund raising program to support its anti-TB programs and services. The TB seals campaign brings together various artists and stamp enthusiasts in the Philippines.

The theme for this year’s TB Seals, “Filipino Heritage”, is an affirmation to the valued culture and cherished traditions of the Filipino people. The TB Seals are designed by the TB Seal committee-- a group of civic-spirited volunteers headed by renowned artist Manuel D. Baldemor.

PTSI’s TB seals in the past have garnered recognition worldwide and has won gold and silver awards in The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseas-

The launch of this year’s TB seals also coincides with The

HISTORY OF THE TB SEALS

by Nemi L. Rivera

At the turn of the century when American rule was established, it was confronted with rampant problems in public health, the most serious among which was the unchecked prevalence of tuberculosis. In a regional health meeting held in Manila in 1910, an alarming report that TB mortality in the Philippines was estimated at a huge 40,000 annually shook the nation.

In a rush meeting of concerned citizens and public officials it was decided to organize the Philippine Islands Anti-Tuberculosis Society to quickly address the problem. Its incorporation was approved on August 1910. In October 20, 1910, the Society authorized the issuance and sale of the 1910 Rizal seals to provide funding for its first projects.

In 1915, under its new name “The Philippine Islands Anti-Tuberculosis Society�, it became a member of the US National Association

1935, August 19. President Manuel L. Quezon. Commonwealth Period. To the left is Quezon’s portrait along with the inscriptions “Antituberculosis Birthday Celebration for President Quezon August 19, 1935.”

In 1934, the then Senate Pres. Manuel Quezon steered the passage of the Sweepstakes Law that allocated 25 % of its proceed to the Society. In 1935, when Quezon became the first president of the Philippine Commonwealth, he authorized the Society to make use of his birthday to general revenues. Thus came about the Quezon’s Birthday Anti-TB Balls and the corollary issuance of the now rare Quezon’s Birthday strip seals.

To the right is the Anti-TB logo and the inscriptions “Greetings to President Quezon, Antituberculosis Birthday Celebration, August 19, 1935. The double-barred cross is in white instead of the usual red.

The Santol Sanatorium, which was inaugurated in 1918, was being constantly improved. It’s nipa cottages gave way to spacious concrete buildings, and additional up-to-date equipment were being installed. In appreciation of the “great interest shown and material help” extended by Pres. Quezon, The Santol Sanatorium was named “Quezon Institute” in 1935.

The Second World War abruptly curtailed further activities of the Society. In January 1942, Japanese Army troops occupied the Quezon Institute and ordered the transfer of its medical staff and all patients to the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Intramuros, Manila.

When the American Army returned early in 1945, the Japanese went on a rampage of killings and subjected south Manila, particularly Intramuros to intensive indiscriminate bombardment. Fifty-two personnel of the Society were killed, including five doctors and ten helpers who were cruelly massacred. Quezon Institute was stripped bare of all equipment,

furniture and records by looters. The Society’s central office in Manila suffered the same fate.

Soon after the re-establishment of civil government in 1945, Pres. Sergio Osmena pressed for a legislative appropriation of P1 million to re-activate anti-TB work, of which P800,000 was allotted as aid to the Society. The US Army returned the Quezon Institute together with army equipment and supplies to the Society, and the Quezon Institute was re-opened.

Around 1946, a crudely designed yellow seal appeared, unannounced and hardly noticed. While the texts “The Philippine / Tuberculosis Society” appeared on the seal’s face design, the Society never acknowledged issuance of this maverick seal. The whole sheetlet of this seal is an extremely rare item.

In 1947, the Society decided to start regularly issuing Christmas seals every year. The issues from 1947 to 1970, were printed in the US and Japan. By 1973, seals were produced exclusively by Philippine printers.

Based on data extensively drawn from the 1960 50th Anniversary issue of The Crusade, official publication of the Philippine Tuberculosis Society.
