Michael Gavrizescu, known for his powerful voice as the vocalist of Burning Red, found a new calling that harmonized with his passion for music — volunteering on a medical mission in Palawan. This unique journey from stage to surgery highlights the profound impact of global volunteerism and the enduring human spirit.
Michael Gavrizescu is one of those profoundly transformed by the pandemic. As a professional musician, he suddenly realized a newfound calling in the field of medicine. The pandemic opened his eyes, and with the guidance of author-singer and humanitarian Lourdes Duque Baron, along with Dr. Robinson Baron of the Hope for the World Foundation, he was inspired to join the surgical mission in Rio Tuba, Palawan.
Despite being severely sleep-deprived from the hectic surgical mission schedule, he was bursting with joy as he recounted his honor at joining and assisting Dr. Robinson V. Baron, an SRC-accredited master of robotic general surgery, both at his West Covina clinic and during international medical missions.
This marked Michael’s second visit to the Philippines. His initial trip was for a musical event — a concert with Lourdes Duque Baron. Together, they promoted the song “That’s Life,” which drew a jam-packed audience in Bulacan. The success of the event was credited to one of the country’s most dedicated event organizers, Charlie Lozo.
