TO KNOW MORE ABOUT DR. AUGUSTO P. SARMIENTO:
Dr. Sarmiento graduated from the University
of the Philippines in April 1948. From September to March 1949, he worked as a Junior
Parasitologist under the Schistomiasis Control Program of the Department of
Health.
He then became a first year resident at the
UP-Philippine General Hospital, Department of Obstetrics. Dr. Sarmiento used
his Obstetrics residency training as his gateway to get into the Department of
Surgery where he started his surgical residency in early 1950s.
Upon completion of his surgical residency
training in 1954, like many other graduates of various medical specialties, he
flew to the USA to pursue more advanced surgical training.
In 1955, an opportunity came to Dr.
Sarmiento to be trained as one of the first Filipino surgical residents at the
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Valhalla of Cancer Surgery in New
York City. He stayed for four years, completing his training under the American
surgeon widely regarded as the Father of Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Hayes
Martin. He worked for a time as an associate of Dr. Martin, but decided to
return to Manila in 1958.
In Manila, he taught and practiced general
and cancer surgery at the PGH and at two other hospitals. In 1967, he moved his
practice along with several overseas trained UP doctors to join Dr. Agerico B.
M. Sison in a small hospital in Mandaluyong City. It was named the ABM Sison
Hospital, in honor of their mentor. The ABM Sison was later renamed The Medical
City and the rest is history. TMC celebrated its 50th year anniversary last
year.
“I am pleased and humbled to have the
Cancer Institute of The Medical City named after me and I am accepting this
honor for and on behalf of the people who have gone ahead of us, who had given
great ideas and a lot of their time to help us get to where we are now. What we
are doing now is just add-ons to the great work they had already started,” said
Dr. Sarmiento.
THE MEDICAL CITY’S APSCI:
“At the APSCI, we believe in healthcare
that nurtures a partnership – one that gives strength, advanced services, and
most especially, hope,” says Dr. Alonzo.
The APSCI, according to Dr. Alonzo, is
gifted with the inspiration of Dr. Sarmiento and the organizational strength of
the TMC institution.
“Thank you for the inspiration Dr.
Sarmiento and for being a role model for all of us as we, at APSCI, continue to
save lives and improve the quality of life of our patients,” said Dr. Alonzo.
Cancer care at APSCI can be described by
8Cs − compassionate, cost-effective, coordinated, collaborative, comprehensive,
customized, centered around the patient, and committed.
The APSCI leadership, composed of Dr.
Alonzo and deputy directors Drs. Tiangco and Roxas, has started
doctor-initiated researches.They are
beefing up their cancer registry, based on patients’ records to find better
ways of treatment. Dr. Alonzo is
also looking at training programs for the next generation of cancer
specialists.
He admitted there’s still a lot of work to be
done at the APSCI but all these quality improvements and innovations are aimed
at giving cancer patients the brand of TMC care that they deserve.
“With our personalized programs and
treatments, we will engage and support our patients throughout their cancer
journey - from nutrition therapy, to pain management, and to palliative care.

Last July 31, 2018, I was excited to attend the Tide hosted “Bagong
Bili o Bagong Laba” Fashion Walk-off, Where they solve this great mystery once
and for all. Since for the past few days, the social media & consumers were
confused with Alex Gonzaga and Melai Cantiveros, it’s bumping into each other,
wearing exactly the same outfit and wondering who actually wore it better. But
since these two ladies are not going to settle the score just like that, they
both asked the bigger, more interesting question—are the outfits bagong bili or
bagong laba?
This was going viral on social media as fellow momshies
weighed in and confused the minds of everyone. Also argued whether their idol’s
outfits was bagong bili or bagong laba. But even as the arguments rocked social
media, no one could figure out the answer as both the outfits of Alex Gonzaga
and Melai Cantiveros looked like new.
It was solved thru an interactive fashion and excited guests
including me took part in a game that proved how brand new whites look no
different from clothes washed with Tide. The fashion show were led by Luis Manzano
and the Solomon brothers, and celebrity kids, and Mela Francisco. After
all the models strutted to confuse the crowd even more. Alex and Melai graced
the stage with a grand walk off and cheered on the audience to make their best
guess -- “Bagong Bili or Bagong Laba?”.
Because of the guest participation, the show become more
livelier until the ending where a grand reveal of the models removing their
tags to see who wore the bagong laba and the bagong bili outfits – astounding
everyone in the audience because there was no difference in the whiteness of
the clothes that the models wore!
“Sobrang nagulat ako sa fact na ako pala may suot ng bagong
laba! As in wow, nakakagulat talaga kasi for me, feeling ko bagong bili suot
ko! Totoo talaga na sa isang laba, mukhang bago, kapag Tide,” said Alex, whose
bagong laba clothes definitely look brand new. While Melai, who turns out to
have been wearing the brand new outfit, added that “Amazing ang whitening
powers ng Tide. From now on, hindi na talaga kailangan bumili parati ng bagong
damit para mag mukhang bongga ang outfits mo. With Tide, para ka na ring
nakasuot ng bago.” Just like me, everyone in the audience, it’s hard to tell
the difference between bagong bili and bagong laba with Tide.
“We know how important it is for Filipinos to have the
best-looking uniforms and everyday wear, but we also know that with repeated
use, clothes usually look dingy. That’s why we’re delighted to present Tide,
which in one wash, keeps clothes looking like new.” ends Procter & Gamble’s
Country Marketing Manager for Laundry, Jonn Terence Dy.
With its great cleaning power that removes dirt while
brightening whites, your OOTDs can still have that “looks like new” look even
after repeated usage, getting that surprising wow from everyone.
