𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 is on… but so are eye injuries.

Saw 2 cases of conjunctival laceration this morning—both from 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥.
All it takes is one accidental hit.

Reminder:
🏀 𝐍𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞…
👁️ 𝐍𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭.

Take care of your eyes, athletes. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫. Game is temporary, vision is lifetime.

Last night was a beautiful reminder of what makes Western Mindanao State University College of Medicine truly special — not just excellence in teaching and service, but the people behind it.

Our Faculty Christmas Party was filled with laughter, stories, and the warmth of colleagues who have become family through years of shared purpose. It was a night to pause, celebrate the season, and appreciate the camaraderie that strengthens our commitment to educating future physicians.

We also proudly welcomed our newest faculty members — Dr. Ever Jaji, Dr. Angeline Llemit, and Dr. Herbert Saavedra — to the WMSU College of Medicine family. We are excited to journey with you as you share your expertise, passion, and dedication with our students and institution.

Grateful for moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Here’s to teamwork, mentorship, and another year of service, growth, and excellence.

Thank you also to our very generous hosts Doc Gail and partner Sir Jade Jamolod.

Did you know?

Not all fast-growing lumps are dangerous. This one is a pyogenic granuloma—a common, non-cancerous growth. If you notice something like this, it’s always best to consult your doctor for proper treatment.

My teacher’s vacation ended in the most meaningful way — with a 3-day Cataract Surgical Mission that holds a special place in my heart.

First, it marked my return to the Mindanao Humanitarian Volunteers for Peace after a six-year hiatus — a group I’ve always been proud to serve with. Second, I had the privilege of working side by side with my dear friend and fellow ophthalmologist, Doc Tess Villaluz Heyrosa. Third, this mission was made possible through the generous support of another good friend, Mayor Lulu Calonge of Mabuhay LGU.

And most special of all, I was able to give back to the people of Olutanga Island — the very place where I grew up.

Truly, this wasn’t just a mission. It was a homecoming of service, friendship, and gratitude...

Hanggang sa muli...
