House Speaker Valarie Woods has made a triumphant return to the National Assembly building nearly a year after disclosing her breast cancer diagnosis. Her comeback was met with heartfelt support from Prime Minister John Briceño, who personally welcomed her back with words of encouragement. “We are overjoyed to see you return in such excellent health. Despite the challenges, you appear more vibrant than ever,” Briceño remarked. In mid-October, Woods marked a significant milestone by ringing the bell at her treatment center, a symbolic gesture signifying the completion of her chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. This joyous ceremony was celebrated by Woods and her supporters at the center, marking a new chapter in her journey. Her return not only signifies personal victory but also serves as an inspiration to many facing similar battles.
