Despite his hectic schedule, he finds time to share his many blessings with the less fortunate. Affectionately called “Dr. Bonjing” by his friends and patients, he is active in civic organizations. A couple of years ago, Dr. Bonjing and like-minded medical doctors from Zamboanga City in Southern Philippines formed the Jerome Foundation, Inc., an NGO dedicated to providing free treatment to those afflicted with harelip or split lip condition. Collectively, they dreamed of a world with less physically deformed children.
