MCU Department of Anesthesia White Christmas Party 2025 🎄🤍🎁

A joyful and heartwarming celebration hosted by the Department Chair, Dr. Julius Robert Guerrero, together with his family. It was a wonderful gathering of consultants, residents, and our OR and DR nurses, truly one big anesthesia family.

The evening was made even more special with gift giving among the consultants and residents, adding warmth, laughter, and shared smiles to the celebration. The games were a definite highlight, expertly led by our ever-energetic game master, Dr. Monique Yoingco, who kept the fun going all night long.

Congratulations as well to Dr. Billy Thimm, the major winner of both the Bingo game and the major raffle, making the night extra memorable! 🎉✨💝

In the midst of the joy, we also took a moment to remember the birthday of our dearly departed consultant, Dr. Elena Realubit, honoring her memory and the lasting impact she left on our anesthesia family.

A celebration filled with joy, generosity, camaraderie, and the true spirit of Christmas. 💚💛

Merry Christmas everyone!!! 🎄🎅💝🎁🎉

MCU Department of Anesthesia at the MCU- FDTMF Hospital’s 1st Residents & Fellows Alumni Homecoming.

We extend our deepest gratitude to MCU-FDTMF Hospital, especially to our MCU-FDTMF Pres. Dr. Estela Marie C. Tanchoco & our Medical Director Dr. Rommel Galvez, for bringing us together in this memorable gathering - Back to Our Roots: A Reunion & Reconnection.

It is always a blessing to return to the institution that shaped us, to reconnect with our mentors and colleagues, and to revisit the place where our journey (in anesthesia) began. This institution not only equipped us with knowledge and skills but also instilled in us the values of compassion, dedication, and excellence that we now carry in our respective fields.

To the MCU Department of Anesthesia, thank you for your unwavering commitment to training and mentoring us to become competent and compassionate anesthesia providers. Your guidance has been instrumental in our growth, and we are forever grateful.

As we celebrate this reunion, we hold onto the wisdom of scripture:

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
— Colossians 3:23

May this gathering remind us of our roots and inspire us to continue serving with excellence, integrity, and heart. Looking forward to more meaningful reunions in the years to come!
