Silver Anniversary Celebration for FEU Medicine Batch 1983

It seems like only yesterday but members of the Far Eastern University (FEU)-NRMF Medicine Batch of 1983 experienced a memorable Silver Anniversary celebration and grand college reunion on January 2009 in Manila, Philippines.

Way back then, the FEU Medicine campus was still at Morayta in Manila and who can forget the saying about the "best medical school along Morayta"? This perhaps may have been said in jest then but in reality may have laid the foundation for future success beyond that short stretch of road in Sampaloc's University Belt. The FEU medical school and medical center has since relocated to a bigger and more modern facility in West Fairview, Quezon City, Philippines. It has been about a quarter of a century since graduation and the members of the Batch have pursued their respective callings and careers as doctors in various healthcare settings, including leading centers of medical excellence and learning in the Philippines and overseas. For its well-deserved feather in the cap, the roster of FEU Medicine Batch 1983 includes specialists (eg, in surgery, anesthesiology, OB-GYN, cardiology, endocrinology, pediatrics, etc.), primary care healthcare providers, and even those who are not in the clinical field have also excelled in their craft which involves balancing the demands of both professional and family life.

As with most college reunions, the once-in-a-lifetime affair presented an opportunity to relive old ties and rekindle friendships. As a batchmate aptly remarked, "It matters not whether one is the CEO of a corporation, a topnotch surgeon, or whatever, since the most important thing is that the silver anniversary celebration is a time of fun and laughter in a place where one is surrounded by tried and true friends."
