Congratulatory notes for Rey Joson on his being chosen UPMAS Outstanding Educator for 2003
Dear
Class of 1974,
Another feather has been added to the class hat. For the second year in a row,
UPMAS honors a classmate. Last year it was Soc Socrates who was selected as
Outstanding Alumnus in the field of Community Service. This year, Rey Joson is
selected as the UPMAS Outstanding Educator for 2003.
Our congratulations to Rey. To my mind, what clinched the recognition for Rey
is his involvement in pioneering teaching and education campaigns outside of
the UPCM and even outside of any classroom. His involvement in the set up of a
totally problem oriented curriculum in the Zamboanga Medical School, his
reviving the surgical training program of Ospital ng Maynila, his campaigns
against circumcision swallowing of santol seeds, and many more initiatives must
have convinced the UPMAS Awards Committee to give the honors to our classmate.
Rey, we share your honor. This will contribute heavily to any nomination for
our class to be considered as Class of Year (maybe next year, during our 30th
anniversary).
Best regards to all
Rex

Rey,
I know you have that big heart for the betterment of the Filipinos. Very few of
your colleagues give their support but that didn't deter you from pursuing your
vision. Kudos to you, Rey. God bless you and your family.

Congratulations
Rey, you have seriously dedicated your time for the improvement of medical
education and community service for almost a quarter of a century, specifically
in the outskirts of the country. The
Alumnus award is another jewel (I was present during Soc's awarding together
with Jimmy, Johnny and Roland) for Class 74. We all take pride in it. Do carry
on with this endeavor.

Dear
Rey,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I have always been awed by your untiring perseverance in pursuing your
"mission" of searching and sharing simple but appropriate medical
knowledge and knowhow for the Filipino. Thank you.

Congrats,
Rey. I feel proud for you for such a well-deserved award. Class 74 is truly
blessed to have you as a classmate. We can proudly say that our class have
produced the likes of you, Soc, Jimmy, Johnnie, EdGon at maraming iba pa. I
fully agree that we should aim for class of the year next year,
during our 30th anniversary.

Dear
Rey:
I hope it's not too late for me to congratulate you...You are the prime example
of the saying: Silent waters run deep...When we were just medical students, you
were always very quiet but very observant..I always had the suspicion that
someday you would be noticed especially when you started the Drug Bank at
Student Union Building...We are indeed very proud of you....
Your Brod and equally quiet classmate,

Congratulations
to Rey Joson! I follow his work with great interest in SARS ,the danger of
swallowing santol seeds (which I printed in the last issue of The UPMASA),
among others. Just reading his communications in our mu-loop makes me aware of
certain health situations in the Philippines. Thanks you, Rey and more power to
you!

Dear
Rey,
Congratulations
for this recognition by our alma mater of your achievements and your role in
making this world better in more ways than purely medical. Your advocacy
against neworn and all circumcision is still on my menu. I haven;t been able to
find the time to start it in POGS yet, considering that I am in the midst of
starting my own women's advocacy campaign in POGS.
We
are very proud of you and of all of the achievers of class 74. Mabuhay!!! WE
will be there to be with you as you receive your award. You are an inspiration
to us all.
God
bless you.
Lyra
