For her part, Dr. Acosta wrote on her Facebook page:

Celebrating God's latest blessing has become even more heartfelt after witnessing how our Alma Mater takes pride in the success of its alumni.

Rest assured that this isn't our success alone, but a success we humbly share with St. Paul College, my home for 12 years and a home not only for today's new physicians, but new engineers, architects, IT specialists, entrepreneurs, whom you so lovingly gave your gift of teaching back when we didn't even know our ABCs.

Thank you Sir.

Always a proud Paulinian here.

Dr. Bautista wrote also on her FB page:

Thank you, Sir Gie! I believe that our Paulinian education played a big part in this accomplishment. Big thanks to you and to all our teachers at SPCB!

Dr. Santos messaged:

Hi Sir G! Thank you for the Paulinian education you shared with us a couple of years back. It has been 10 years since we left St. Paul, but we will forever carry everything we've learned from you and all the sisters and teachers. Please extend our thank yous. Celine, Trisha, Roger, Barbie

Wherever I go, I meet a lot of people from SPCB. Nurses, medtechs and other medical staff even 10 years ahead my batch. Proud Paulinian always!

Thanks sir! Extend my regards to Sr. Remy. I saw her last year in the Yolanda relief ops. I went up to her and told her I was her previous student but not sure if she remembers. I always remember her saying "Focus!" when I study.

In case the school was not able to identify all the alumni board passers of the 2014 Physician Licensure Examinations, it is encouraged that the site administrator is notified so that the list will be updated.
