It was a successful (Silver Linings) 2005...
One of the speakers, Jim Paredes, whose wife is a breast cancer survivor and a member of ICanServe, described the event as a "demonstration of solidarity, unity and triumph of spirit. The whole affair was an overwhelming success."
Alice Orleans of ICanServe described it as a "'God-size' event made possible by God's grace."

Silver Linings, the first Philippine homecoming and national forum for cancer survivors, held last September 25, 2005 Sunday at the EDSA Shangrila Hotel in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, was a smashing hit.
The one-day event was host to over 1000 visitors representing survivors of different cancers, their families and friends. Twenty-two forums took place along with free consulations with medical doctors and patient advocates, free massages, free haircuts, and wig demonstrations.
He capped best how everyone felt about the event, "I caught myself often on the verge of tears brought about by a mixture of compassion, pride, joy and being witness to such greatness of spirit which seemed everywhere. Sometimes it manifested itself in a little conversation with a stranger survivor, or listening to a sharing, or just looking at a woman with her head covered with a bandana carrying herself with such determination and courage."
"Silver Linings" stands for ICanServe's two-pronged objective of empowering women with information and hope. The long-time dream of a national cancer forum became a reality with "Silver Linings 2005". The event exceeded all expectations and there was a clamor to stage it on a regular basis.
