As part of its 70th anniversary celebration, Good News Clinic and Hospital (GNCH), a non-profit mission hospital that has served in Banaue, Ifugao, is set to hold its fourth “Art for GoodNews’ Sake” fundraiser.

Happening from November 14, 2026 to December 6, 2026 at GCF Ortigas Fellowship Hall, the exhibit, themed “Instrumento Tayo!” will feature pieces graciously donated by over 70 Filipino artists and creatives. Contributors include Ed Uygongco, Rey Aurelio, Addie Cukingnan, Chino Yulo, Vincent Louie Tan and Coeli Manese.

The annual art show seeks to raise over PHP 5 million for GNCH’s Ipaphod Transformation Project, which includes the establishment of a new emergency room, triage extension, patient lift, and a ramp for the hospital.

GNCH was founded in 1956 by USAFFE medical corps veteran missionary Dr. James Irvine in Barrio Tam-an. It endured throughout the years under the leadership of other missionary doctors, including Dr. Antonio Ligot, who served the clinic and hospital for over three decades.

Currently, the Philhealth Yakap-accredited hospital is led by Dr. Carolyn Abayao, a Banaue native once treated at GNCH following a tragic accident at age 13, and had served there as a nurse under Dr. Ligot’s tutelage prior to pursuing her general medicine degree.

“It is only by the grace of God, and His providential work through the selfless hands of missionary doctors and generous donors, that GNCH still stands to serve the people of Banaue for 70 years and stay true to its mission of ‘Healing Bodies and Winning Souls to Christ,” Good News Clinic and Hospital administrator Dan Andrew Cura said. “We are truly grateful for the artists who contributed their works for our annual art show and call for the public’s continued support for the hospital.” ###

GCF Ortigas, which hosts the annual art show, is located at the corner of Garnet and Ruby Roads, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. Persons interested to contribute to GNCH’s medical work can reach out to the following official channels:
