It was September 2012 when we took our first step at the Municipality of Manuel A. Roxas Zamboanga del Norte. A warm welcome was initiated as we arrived by the RHU staff headed by our community preceptor Dr. Leigh Arouet Lluisma. We knew that day that Roxas will serve as our second home for the upcoming 4 (four) years as a medical students. As an initial step we must recognize and identify significant personas which will serve as a big help for us to accomplish our mission here and that is to make a difference.
On the very first morning after our arrival we attended for the first time the municipal flag ceremony together with the municipal employees. It was also during that ceremony that our preceptor introduced us to the entire Roxas community as a medical student. After the ceremony we got ourselves a tour at the municipal office and introduced us to different department head. And lastly after the short tour, we had our first meeting the municipal mayor Eduardo Yebes. The mayor was so accommodating as he expressed his willingness to support us on whatever projects and programs that we intend to do.
