Sis in Focus: Lorna R. Silvestre-Labayen µΣΦ '72

Her passion is with the poor, especially women and children. Her unswerving commitment to impoverished communities has helped transform lives and institutions globally. A genuine person inside and out, who will fight for the rights of the people, with the people, and for the people --- that is how many friends and colleagues described Lorna.

Sis in Focus: Agnes Espinosa Dominguez-Mejia µΣΦ '77

Simple, well-organized and friendly - these are just few of the bountiful words that Dra. Agnes used to describe herself. Certainly she is all this and more.

Sis in Focus: Rosario Corazon L. Nadorra µΣΦ '76

Dra. Rosario Corazon “Beng” L. Nadorra, member of the UP College of Medicine Class 1976 and Mu Sigma Phi Sorority Batch 1976, is one of the most seasoned rheumatologists based in Texas, USA, with more than 35 years of clinical experience under her belt.

At Home with Dr. Solita F. Camara-Besa, µΣΦ 1938

by Jen Chavez '15

For renowned individuals such as Dr. Solita F. Camara-Besa, it’s not surprising for them to talk about their achievements as a professional. In case of Sis Lilit, there are much to talk about. Dra. Camara-Besa is recognized as the first Filipina to specialize in Biochemistry. She earned her medical degree and the distinction of cum laude from the University of the Philippines College of Medicine in 1938. Shortly after, she travelled to United States where she was given the prestigious Barbour Scholarship.

QUICK FACTS

Undergrad Course: BS Psychology, UP Diliman
Age: 30
Interest: Surgery
Hometown: Sinoloan, Laguna
Hobbies: Reading, Sleeping
Sport: Softball
Food: Blueberry cheesecake at Banapple
Motto in life: All for the Glory!!!

Surgeons are artists dazzled by each case presented to them unto the operating table. With every incision they make, they venture into the human body in search of the root of the problem, fix it to make people better, and hopefully, let them live better. There are plenty of calculated risks and there are no shortcuts. More than will power, a subconscious habit of success and extreme patience are needed in the course of every operation. These statements somewhat describe Apol’s current life as a surgeon and her ideals even before she entered the UP College of Medicine.
