Predeployment Seminar of the Doctors to The Barrio Batch 23: Day 4

Today is Day 4 of the predeployment seminar of batch 23 doctors to the barrio. It was a long day. Batch 23 had numerous lectures focusing on the numerous DOH national programs, particularly the Tuberculosis Program, Maternal and Child Health, Family Planning and about the Local Health Systems. Most of our lecturers were already specialists who were former DTTBs themselves and decided to continue their service through DOH.

Highlights for Day 4:

Day 4 - lectures, lectures, lectures; Landbank ATM account forms were submitted, finally; new DTTB member was introduced, Eric from Tarlac, who will be assigned at Quezon Province; Sun Life Insurance was introduced for those interested to maintain a life insurance; Dr. Nodora arrived for a brief visit, told us a very good news (I won't tell it yet so as not to preempt the Department of Health); Motto/Expression for the day: "Patay tayo dyan" courtesy of Prince from Marawi City; Merly played a familiar tune on the piano inside the conference room for everyone.

We have made new arrangements with Philippine Airlines. It is imperative that we should leave Manila for our respective CHDs with our appointments and ATM cards. So, we made a new reservation for Thursday November 15.

Updates: Dinner with the HHRDB Director Dr. Kenneth Ronquillo on Monday and Culminating Night on Tuesday. A special number will be prepared by Batch 23, who are yet to provide a name for our batch.
