TRANSFER OF THE CIUDAD DE ZAMBOANGA B.R.E.A.S.T. INSTALLATION ART TO PASEO DEL MAR

I would like to share this wonderful "BAYANIHAN" story during the transfer of the CMZ Bra to Raise Awareness Campaign Project highlight, the CIUDAD DE ZAMBOANGA B.R.E.A.S.T. INSTALLATION ART!

B.R.E.A.S.T. means 
Bra to Raise Early Awareness for Screening and Treatment

This Ciudad de Zamboanga B.R.E.A.S.T. Installation Art is  created by the Sulu-born, international artist Rameer Tawasil with artist friends, CMZ staff, trainees and affiliates and partners in the community jointly working with him to finish this innovative advocacy artwork.

The gigantic B.R.A. Art has these dimensions:
Total height including stage: 4.27 m or 14 feet.
Height of stage: 1.22 m or 4 feet
Width: 4.88 m or 16 feet
Depth: 2.44 m or 8 feet


As of May 14, 2014, there is a total of 1580 bras making up this B.R.E.A.S.T. Installation Art with this breakdown:
= = = 505 decorated bras for the giant bra cups and straps. (right cup =181; left cup = 193; center = 14; right strap = 47; left strap = 70)
= = = 202 colored bras for the breast-shaped backdrop.
= = = 50 black bras lining outline of the breast-shaped backdrop.
= = = 441 black bras for the whole stage floor.
= = = 382 black bras for the three sides of the stage. (right side = 85; front side = 205; left side = 92)

We would like to thank Mayor Maria Isabel "Beng" Climaco-Salazar for allowing the transfer of the Ciudad De Zamboanga B.R.E.A.S.T. Installation Art through City Administrator, Antonio G. Orendain, Jr.!
Thanks also to Mr. Joselito "Joey" Wee, OIC-Paseo Del Mar for being so accommodating and supportive during and after the transfer!

Considering this massive size, it is indeed difficult to move the whole B.R.A. Art over to Paseo Del Mar and this entailed the Bayanihan Spirit to make this possible.

Bayanihan means:
Bayanihan (pronounced as bah - yah - nee - han) is a Filipino term taken from the word bayan, referring to a nation, town or community. The whole term bayanihan refers to a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective.

So I would like to share these pictures to demonstrate this!

Thank you to Maintenance/Engineering Section , ASEGCO Janitorial personnel , ANTHONY Security Agency Personnel,  Pharmacy Department Staff [Edsel, Rodel], Radiology Department, [Regine, Cristina, Radtech Interns] and the CMZ Tricycle Drivers Association and Richard
for helping in the transfer of the B.R.A. Art!
  





So here is the Team that made this happen. 
Thanks especially for CMZ Administrative Officer, Ms. Ruby Ann Puzon and CMZ HR Manager, Ms. Juvee Calica for coordinating the transfer to Paseo Del Mar with City Officials and with the movers who made this possible with the Bayanihan Spirit.
Thanks again and we do hope that with the transfer of this innovative and creative art advocacy project, Ciudad De Zamboanga B.R.E.A.S.T. Installation Art to the main park of Zamboanga City, PASEO DEL MAR, we would be able to gain a wider reach for our B.R.A. advocacy campaign to the community and visitors to: 
LOVE YOUR BREAST
HAVE THEM CHECKED!

Early Detection and Treatment Save Lives!

The Awareness Starts With Us!

Don't forget to schedule your Breast Wellness and Breast Cancer Awareness lectures at the Ciudad Medical Zamboanga Breast Wellness Center with this phone number:

    1. Yes, indeed, Janz, Paseo Del Mar the perfect place for the Art... where families and friends in Zamboanga enjoy their weekends for a picnic or stroll, friends and family enjoy the restaurants any day of the week and large gatherings such as fun runs and advocacy parades have Paseo Del Mar as either the starting point or the end point !

  11. That is one heavy bra, I am most sure. It's probably hard to piece those together and transport it from one place to another. That explains the big truck. :-)
