(Medicine Alumni news items and info in this issue by Florinda Tabuzo)
A total of 87 members of the Silver Jubilarians, Medicine Class 1982, attended the 37th homecoming activities on December 18-21, 2007.
The week began with a grand alumni welcome party at the UERMMMCI Gymnasium, where Nursing and Physical Therapy alumni joined the medical graduates for an evening of camaraderie and entertainment featuring the Nonoy Lopez Band. The next day, December 19, a convocation was held at the College Auditorium, where the Silver Jubilarians, in their academic gowns, received their commemorative medallions from President Romeo Divinagracia, assisted by Dean Alfaretta Tan-Reyes and the Medical Alumni Association President Dr. Andres Borromeo.
The convocation featured an inspirational talk by Dr. Joven Cuanang. Dr. Noel Villanueva of Class ´82 delivered the Dr. Potenciano Baccay Memorial Lecture. At the Gala on December 20 at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, the jubilarians were at their best, having pictures taken by groups or with their old buddies. It went on to the all-night dancing, reminiscing, picture-taking, etc., and ended with the traditional Silver Jubilarian class family outing, this time at Golden Sunset Resort in Calatagan, Batangas.
