Who Are We?
L-R: American Breast Care Co-CEO Jay Markowitz, Leonor Gopuco, Guido Commeyne during his recent stopover visit in Manila in March 2010.
CONFIANZA ENTERPRISE is a business with the main goal of providing high quality breast forms/ prosthesis and post surgery bras to breast cancer patients and survivors in the Philippines.
This business venture was formed by breast cancer survivor and advocate Maria Fe “Fetty” P. Commeyne, a former college teacher, researcher, trainer married to Guido, a Belgian national and blessed with two sons. She was very concerned by the absence of high quality prosthesis and of genuine mastectomy bras in the local market and she believed that having these products available locally would aid in the healing process of fellow survivors and breast cancer patients. She went on to become the first registered distributor of these much needed products. In August 2009, she lost the battle with breast cancer.
The company has, consequently, been succeeded by fellow breast cancer survivor, Leonor L. Gopuco, who, armed with the same pioneering spirit, aims to continue and pursue the vision that Fetty had set out for Confianza, by reaching out to other breast cancer survivors in other parts of the country (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) so that they may benefit from the use of genuine breast prosthesis and mastectomy bras at affordable prices. Stepping up to the challenge, the company wants to provide a wide range of products by American Breast Care to enhance the quality of life of the Filipina breast cancer survivor in order to live fuller and meaningful lives after undergoing breast surgery.
