Pio who loves the solar system, lego, Star Wars, Subway and who dreams to be an astronaut at NASA has been diagnosed of Chordoma, a rare type of bone cnacer that occurs in the bones of the skull and spine. His condition is one in a million and he is the youngest patient that has this sickness. He had his first craniotomy last year, July 8, 2015 at Philippine General Hospital with Doctor Gap removing 40% of his tumor. The average survival for chordoma is 7-9 years if treated.

While there are no approved drugs for this uncommon cancer and requires highly specialized care, this rare cancer can be treated through proton beam therapy. However, proton beam therapy is not available in the Philippines and it costs a lot. His current art exhibit is for his proton beam therapy to remove the tumor. 

PER ASPERA, AD ASTRA at Prism Gallery is not only a fund-raising exhibit but also a visual reminder and inspiration to people to follow their dreams to the very end despite countless troubles and disabilities.
