An 18-year-old resident of Brgy. Masaling, Cauayan town, Negros Occidental, who had been confined at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City for pulmonary tuberculosis is seeking the help of DAILY STAR readers for his continued medication.

Anthony Lacson was brought to the hospital on January 19 due to difficulty in breathing but he has not taken all the medicines prescribed by the doctor because of financial constraints, his mother, Norma, 40, a vegetable vendor, said.
She said her income that of her husband, Lemy, 44, as a farmer, are not enough to buy the medicines for Anthony.

She added that Anthony, their fourth child, had to quit school as a junior student at one high school in their town because of his illness.*
