Dear DOH, fund cancer patients. Love, Toots
Editor’s note: In her September 8, 2021 column in BusinessMirror, Susan V. Ople, fondly called “Toots” by everyone, shows her passion and courage in taking up good—albeit hard—causes. Despite battling cancer, Toots did her job as the first Department of Migrant Workers secretary, taking a “wellness leave” only a few weeks ago, as she dealt both with her cancer and the grief of losing two brothers five days apart.
