Distinguished UERM professor honored

After 17 years of unprecedented service, Dr. Esperanza Carague-Lansang finally retired as professor of UERM College of Physical Therapy. A simple but momentous testimonial dinner was given last May 22, 2006 at Dulcinea, Tomas Morato, Q.C. To commemorate her outstanding service as educator, mentor & friend, a plaque of appreciation was presented to her as token of the whole UERM community's gratitude. Truly fitting for this one of a kind "woman". Video messages coming from Joan Duka & Walter Rivera, former PT faculties now based in the US & UK respectively were also shown. Present during the occasion were the UERM College of Physical Therapy faculty, Dean Arnel V. Malaya & Dr. Juan Alcazaren (former UERM College of Physical Therapy dean) as special guest - (article contributed by Rongie "The Man" Magdangal).
