According to the MHAM CM Vice-President for Academics, Dr. Arlene M. Diaz who also belongs to the same batch, the reunion was supposed to be held in Thailand but it wasn’t realized due to time constraint.
“In behalf of batch ’83 we were so happy to see each other again after 34 years but at the same time we were sad as six of our batchmates have departed already in the second life. We may not be complete because most of our Thai classmates were not able to attend but we had a remarkable bonding and connectivity during the 2-day celebration”, said Dr. Diaz.
MHAMemories
Gathered in a fun-filled night with come-back conversations of their whereabouts and life’s experiences, the class of 1983 MHAM products were also delighted by the acoustic band, line dances and parlor games with prizes to complete the gathering. Moreover, they have revived their friendship and camaraderie through several photo shoots which will serve as memories to behold in the latter years of life in their mission field.

Having been graduated into different practices in the medical field, to date, these MHAM graduates are now reaping the harvest of their labors from the years of medical studies bearing the identity as MHAM mavens of the field. Moreover, they are more than willing to give back to the ‘giver of gifts’ by sharing their blessings to others. Thus, beaming with gratification and honor of being MHAM products throughout the years, the group was able to raise Php 210,000 as a pledge to the three academic scholars who were being presented to them during their school visit.
The class of 1983 has been the fifth batch who celebrated the alumni homecoming this year and they too, are looking forward to be part of the Grand Alumni Homecoming on May 26, 2020. Needless to say, these MHAM products have rekindled and rebuilt their connectivity not just on social media but along with their MHAM memories without the aid of seasons. (Ana Liza Abao)
