60612-N-3931M-049 Tawi Tawi, Philippines (June 12, 2006) - Navy Showband Sailors embarked aboard the Military Sealift Command (MSC) Hospital Ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19), perform for local residents at the Datu Halun Sakilan Memorial Hospital, while the ship visits the city on a scheduled humanitarian mission. The Mercy has already visited Zamboanga and Jolo, Philippines, where its crew had treated several thousand patients. The ship will bring patients aboard where its doctors will perform major surgeries to remove goiters and cataracts as well as repair cleft lips. Ashore, teams of doctors, nurses and corpsmen spend their time providing aid to patients not requiring treatment aboard the ship. Mercy's medical staff will provide a multitude of medical, dental and veterinary care for pets of the people who live in this region, together with their Filipino counterparts, both at local city medical centers and on the ship itself. Mercy is on a five-month deployment to South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 1st Class Michael R.
