   These are the medical contributions of Dr. Philip Chua. We will be adding to this section as we get them from Brod Philip.

   We thank him for generously sharing these with us.

 

   As he wrote in his email to then UPBSI Pres. Willie "Tatang" Vergara on 3/01/08:

       "I have attached my health articles for your gorgeous website.  If you could have a sort of an Archive in that section,

        so our Brods and other viewers can use it as a "library" for medical reference in the future..."
