At the time, the CPD (formerly POPCOM), Department of Health and the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. came up with a search to find and identify 100 babies who would symbolize the country’s 100 million population. The Muntinlupa Population Development Office (MPDO), together with CPD-NCR Regional Director Jackylyn Robel and Social Services Department representative Caridad Molo, visited Trazares to celebrate his ninth birthday.
