You probably didn’t know or realize it, but the Philippines has been deep into National Lung Month since the start of August.

You’d be forgiven for not being aware of that. What would be more inexcusable is not actually knowing more about your lungs.

When, indeed, did you last check in on your respiratory system?

On Monday, at 10:00 a.m., InterAksyon dives into it all. With the help of RiteMED and virtual reality technology provider Digiscript, we will not only enter into this most important discussion, we will take a virtual tour of your lungs.

“Huwag Mahiyang Magtanong: LIVE sa Baga Mo!” will stream over Facebook Live, and will be the first installment in a new series exploiting new VR technologies to bring a richer, deeper, more engaging experience in health talk.

Pulmonologist Dr. Perci Punzal will lead the journey on Monday morning, giving Facebook viewers a tour of healthy (and damaged) lungs, while tackling people’s questions on respiratory concerns, from common colds and coughs to asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, bronchitis, and COPD.

We’re already taking questions, actually. Tweet @interaksyon your questions, message or comment over InterAksyon’s Facebook page, use the hashtag #LiveSaBagaMo, and we’ll take up as much as we can from 10-11 a.m. on Monday.

To join the virtual tour and discussion, log on to the Facebook page of InterAksyon, News5, TV5, or Radyo5, where the show will be streamed live.
