GCM commemorated Don Vincent’s 135th birth anniversary and the 104th University<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founder’s Day, pausing to reflect on the enduring legacy of Don Vicente R. Gullas, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
visionary founder of our prestigious university. His long influence continues to shape the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
landscape of healthcare education, leaving an imprint on future generations of medical<\/p>\n\n\n\n
professionals. As we honor his contributions, we are reminded of his unrelenting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
commitment to medical education and his tremendous influence on the institution we<\/p>\n\n\n\n
value today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highlight of the event was when everyone was reminded of Don Vicente R. Gullas’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
comment, “I hope to produce Kings and Queens who will never wear crowns but shall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
be royals just the same,” which embodies a profound message about the essence of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nobility and leadership. In the context of medical students, this remark expresses the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
desire to produce healthcare professionals who embody the characteristics of true<\/p>\n\n\n\n
royalty without the necessity for literal crowns or titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For medical students, this quotation serves as a reminder that their noble calling goes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
well beyond simple recognition or reputation. It underlines the significance of embracing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
values like compassion, honesty, empathy, and service, which are true trademarks of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
royalty in the medical field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The founder’s message encourages medical students to look beyond the trappings of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apparent success and embrace the true significance of their vocation. By aiming to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“royals just the same,” medical students are encouraged to develop a sense of purpose,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
integrity, and humanity that goes far beyond their chosen job path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The late Don Vicente R. Gullas was commemorated as more than a founder; he was a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pathfinder who established the groundwork for academic success and creativity. His<\/p>\n\n\n\n
foresight and determination opened the path for the foundation of our university,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
demonstrating his unwavering commitment to offering great education to future<\/p>\n\n\n\n
generations of medical leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
