DR. JO TADENA…the hardworking and unassuming Municipal Health
Officer of President Quirino, Sultan Kudarat
By Apolinario Villalobos
I have been hearing inspiring stories about this
sneakers-wearing doctor who prefer to sit behind the desk that constituents
needing medical assistance could immediately approach as soonest as they arrive
at the Health Center of President Quirino. A few feet from
her desk are the MHO staff who are on
standby for the rest of the assistance needed. Her team, as I observed, work
with precise moves so that in minutes, their clients, most of whom are from the
barangays could immediately, go back
home.
The simplicity of the doctor is such that nobody among her
colleauges knew that she was consistently on top of her class during her high
school days in Notre Dame-Sienna College of Tacurong and when she was in college. She belongs to a
prominent intellectual family of Sultan Kudarat province, but is never
conscious about the admiration….as all she does is show diligence in her task.
