Aquino confers Order of the Golden Heart with rank of Grand Collar on National Scientist Dr. Fe Del Mundo

resident Benigno S. Aquino III conferred the Grand Collar (Maringal na Kwintas) of the Order of the Golden Heart on National Scientist Dr. Fe Del Mundo during State Necrological Services held at the Department of

Science and Technology compound in Bicutan Thursday.

Del Mundo, the country's

distinguished pediatrician and

National Scientist passed away on

August 6, 2011 at the age of 99.

In his speech, the President said it

was his and the country's honor to

bestow such an award to the

“Grand Dame of Philippine

Pediatricsand Medicine.”

“Ikinalulugod po nating

hirangin si Fe del Mundo na

mapabilang sa Order of the Golden

Heart, Rank of Grand Collar,

bilang pagkilala at pagtingala

sakatangi-tangi niyang

kontribusyon at serbisyo para

iangat ang katayuan ng mga

naisasantabi nating kababayan sa

lipunan,” thePresident said.

He praised Del Mundo for

her selfless service and dedication

to the upliftment of the lives of her

countrymen, especially children,

suffering from sickness and

disease.

“Narating man niya ang

tuktok ng propesyon, hindi niya

nakaligtaang ipaabot ang serbisyo

niya sa komunidad, at isubsob ang

sarili sa pagsasaliksik upang

masugpo at malunasan ang

maraming uri ng sakit,” the

President said.

“Pinatunayan niyang hindi

kailangang may katungkulan sa

gobyerno, o maging matagumpay

na negosyante upang maka-ambag

sa pag-unlad ng bansa. Hindi niya

hinangad na magpayaman at

kumapit sa kapangyarihan, tanging

ang kapakanan at kalusugan ng

mga bata at pamilyang Pilipino ang

kanyang tinutukan,” he added.

Del Mundo, who is a

legend and icon in the field of

Pediatric Medicine, had dedicated

almost a century of her life in

pursuit of excellence and selfless

service to Filipino children,

mothers, families and communities

throughout the Philippines.

Her most significant

researches dealt mainly with viral

diseases, particularly on polio-

myelitis, rubeola, rubella and

varicella that has served as

reference in the use of vacine and

immunizations in the country.

Del Mundo also invented

two devices to help people in rural

communites: a simple inexepensive

incubator made of bamboo and an

improvised bamboo radiant warmer

and photo therapy device that could

cure babies with jaundice.

These inventions reflected her

interest in rural health, particularly

those in underserved and remote

areas.

In1957, Del Mundo

established the Children's

Memorial Hospital (later renamed

to Dr. Fe Del Mundo Medical

Center) which to this day,

continues to admit thousands of

children requiring quality medical

help.

A woman of many firsts,

Dr. Del Mundo was the first female

and first Asian to be enrolled in

Pediatrics at the prestigous then all-

male Harvard Medical School

(1935-1940) as a Philippine

Commonwealth Scholar. She was

also the first woman to head a

government general hospital in the

Philippines when she was

appointed director of the Manila

Children's hospital (later renamed

Dr. Jose R. Reyes Memorial

Hospital) in 1943.

She was also the first

Filipino diplomat of the American

Board of Pediatrics (1947) which

introduced Filipino women and

physicians to the world as well as

the first Asian president of the

Medical Women's International

Association (1962-1966).

In the Philippines, Del

Mundo founded and became the

first woman president of the

Philippine Pediatric Society (1952-

1955), founded the Philippine

Medical Women's Association; and

in 1972 became the first woman

president of the Philippine Medical

Association.

President Aquino lauded

Del Mundo for her achievements

saying that these should serve as

inspiration for “a thousand more Fe

Del Mundos” who will take up the

cudgels and help improve the lives

of Filipinos.

“Sa ating pambansang

sayantist, salamat sa iyong

dedikasyon na paghusayin ang

kaalaman sa agham para

paglingkuran ang mga

nangangailangan. Salamat sa

pagiging inspirasyon ng mga

Pilipino na lalong magsumikapat

magbayanihan, at sa pagpapatunay

na hindi hadlang ang edad o ang

kasarian para maglingkod sa

bayan,” thePresident said.

“Sa pagdadalamhati ng

bansa sa pagpanaw ni Fe del

Mundo, lalo naman pong

tumitingkad ang legasiyang

ipinamana niya sa larangan ng

medisina at pakikipagkapwa-tao.

Sa paglisan ng isang Fe Del

Mundo, maging hudyat sana ito sa

pagsilang ng isanlibo pang Fe del

Mundo na handing gamitin ang

dunong at talino para sa pag-ahon

ng mga Pilipino at hindi alintana

ang mga sakripisyo sa serbisyo-

publiko,” he added.

“Sa ganitong diwa ng

pagkalinga at pag-aruga sa

kapakanan ng kapwa, lagi’t laging

mabibigyang-buhay at hindi

maglalaho ang pamana ng ating

Grand Dame of Philippine

Pediatrics and Medicine — ang

Pilipinang naging misyon ang

wagas na pagbubukas-palad sa

kapwa — naitinuring na sariling

anak ang mga nangangailangang

sanggol at bata, at di-kailanman

pinagkaitan ng tunay na serbisyo

ang sambayanang Pilipino,” the

President said.

Pantawid Pasada, one of the noble programs of the Aquino administration, Butuan official says

by Robert E. Roperos

BUTUAN CITY, August 11 (PIA) – City councilor Atty. Audie Bernabe recently said the Pantawid Pasada Program of the Aquino administration is one of the noble programs, helping the transport sector to mitigate the impact of oil price hike.

During the ceremonial

turn-over of Pantawid Pasada cards

held in one of the local resorts here,

Councilor Bernabe emphasized that

the program of the Aquino

administration is the answer to the

predicaments felt by the transport

sector.

“Ang programang ito ay

nakakatulong sa transport sector

upang maitawid nila ang kanilang

pamumuhay sa kabila ng pagtaas-

baba ng presyo ng langis (This

program helps the transport sector

to cope with the unstable oil

price),” Bernabe said.

Meanwhile, Bernabe

urged the transport sector-

beneficiaries to craft a resolution

acknowledging the national

government for coming up with the

program that will surely benefit the

transport sector.

According to the Regional

Office of the Department of

Transportation and

Communications (DOTC) here,

around 1,700 franchisees have

qualified to avail the program.

DOTC-Caraga Regional

Director Atty. Alim Pangandaman

further said the distribution of the

cards will be made as soon as

possible through the DOTC district

offices in all the provinces and

cities in the region.

The Pantawid Pasada

Program of the national

government aims to provide

assistance to the transport sector,

such as jeepneys and tricycles, to

cushion the impacts of oil price

hikes as the growing unrest in

the MiddleEast and North Africa

continues to create uncertainty in

the international and local markets.

This would also aid in

mitigating the continuous increase

in fares, which may eventually

cause the rise in inflation

rate. (PIA-Caraga)
