We braved exams 📚, endless lectures 🤓,
and sleepless duties ☕️, but through it all we discovered that the best part was having each other.

Together, we journeyed along the ever-winding road of medicine, and it truly was the adventure of a lifetime with you, AUREUM 🖤💫.

Now that we’ve taken different paths, our hearts remain forever golden. We’ll always long for our home in Roxas Hall 🏛️ and the memories we shared within its walls.

Happy Anniversary, AU! ✨

Vital Signs Publication joins the nation in honoring the 𝟒𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐲 𝐀𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐲. This day, in 1983, Senator Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino Jr., a leading voice against a prominent opposition, was assassinated at the Manila International Airport—an event that ignited the country’s fight to restore democracy.

Inspired by his courage, we remain committed to amplifying the voice of truth. May you all have a meaningful and restful holiday.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 | Dr. Mary Ann L. Palermo-Maestral, Undersecretary of the Department of Health and proud alumna of the West Visayas State University College of Medicine, served as keynote speaker at the college’s 47th Commencement Exercises today.

In her address, Dr. Palermo-Maestral reflected on what true wealth means after more than three decades in both private practice and government service. “It is more than the luxury money can buy,” she shared. “It is being able to serve the communities we belong to, regardless of a patient’s financial capacity.” She urged the graduates to pursue not only clinical excellence but also compassion, especially in serving the marginalized and those in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.

She encouraged the new doctors to embrace lifelong learning, innovation, and curiosity while never losing the human touch. “There is no substitute for the care of another human being,” she reminded them, emphasizing that the future of medicine lies in balancing technological advancement with empathy. “Be the answer to your patients’ problems.”

Dr. Palermo-Maestral also underscored the value of gratitude and purpose. “Gratitude is free,” she said, “and when you are grateful, you overflow with kindness, and that kindness can heal more than medicine ever could.”

She closed by encouraging the graduates to take part in advancing Universal Health Care, welcoming them into the growing community of WVSU-COM alumni serving across the country.
