Now on its second year, Pink Ribbon Day aims to educate Filipinas on breast cancer prevention through awareness, early detection, and intervention. The event featured a short Zumba session led by host Regine Tolentino, a talk by the Philippine Breast Cancer Society, and free clinical breast examinations administered by volunteer doctors.
