A DISTINGUISHED VOICE IN PSYCHIATRY JOINS MLQU

Manuel L. Quezon University proudly welcomes Gerardine Josefina L. Sayo, M.D., a distinguished Psychiatrist and medical professional, as a new Faculty Member and valued member of the MLQU academic community.

A graduate of the University of Santo Tomas College of Medicine, Dr. Sayo has built a career that bridges psychiatry, geriatric medicine, mental health education, public service, and community engagement. Professional profiles have recognized her as a medical consultant in Psychiatry, Geriatric Medicine, and Gerontology, as well as a resource person in radio, television, and professional seminars.

Dr. Sayo has also been recognized for her commitment to community service and accessible healthcare. In a Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) outreach initiative, she provided free medical and psychiatric consultation to residents in need, demonstrating her commitment to extending professional service beyond the clinical setting.

Her professional engagement extends into public mental-health education and media, where she has shared her expertise with broader audiences. She has also been associated with television and radio programs addressing issues related to mental health and human relationships.

Among her notable media engagements is her participation as part of the “Trio Tagapayo” of TV5's Face to Face, bringing psychiatric and mental-health perspectives into conversations involving real-life interpersonal and family concerns.

Her professional standing is further reflected in her inclusion among the regular members of the Philippine Psychiatric Association, the country's professional organization for psychiatrists.

Beyond clinical practice and academic work, Dr. Sayo has demonstrated a strong commitment to service, professional leadership, and mental-health advocacy. Her experience provides an important bridge between medical practice, psychiatric knowledge, community service, and education.

We are honored to welcome a professional whose experience can enrich the learning environment of our students and strengthen MLQU's commitment to holistic education, mental health, and human development.

Welcome to the MLQU family, Gerardine Josefina L. Sayo, M.D.!

We look forward to learning from your expertise, benefiting from your experience, and working together in advancing mental-health education and professional excellence.

Welcome to Manuel L. Quezon University!

The Manuel L. Quezon University (MLQU) BS Psychology Program recently concluded its 1st Pinning Ceremony and Recognition at the Victoria Sports Tower Ballroom—a meaningful celebration of our students’ growth, dedication, and continuing journey toward becoming future psychology professionals.

The ceremony was made even more significant by the inspiring messages of Rep. Chel Diokno and Sen. Risa Hontiveros, as well as our distinguished keynote speaker, Prof. Jobelle Resuello. Their words reminded our students of the responsibility, integrity, compassion, and commitment that come with pursuing the profession of Psychology.

More than a ceremonial tradition, the pinning represents an important transition—recognizing the students’ accomplishments while preparing them to embrace the values and responsibilities expected of future practitioners in the field.

Here’s a glimpse of today’s meaningful celebration. Congratulations to our first batch of BS Psychology students who have reached this significant milestone!

Su***de prevention is not only about one day of awareness. It is about the conversations we choose to have every day.

Ask how someone is doing. Listen when they speak. Take their struggles seriously. Be the person who makes it easier to ask for help, and when you cannot carry it with them, help them reach someone who can.

We may not know every battle someone is facing, but we can choose not to let anyone feel like they have to face it alone.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s look beyond the surface, start the conversation, and make room for people to keep becoming. There are still versions of us waiting to exist. Let’s help each other stay long enough to meet them. 💛
