new beginnings. and endings.


Today is a red letter day for the medical community of Dumaguete, especially those connected with the Silliman Medical Center, because today the doctors' clinics at the Medical Arts Building opened to the public.

Today is also a black letter day for Dumaguete, not only for the medical community, but for the entire city and province as well, because a well-respected colleague, one of our senior pediatricians, Dr. Ami Madamba, was fatally shot in cold blood last night.

We are shocked, speechless, shaken.

W-what?! Dumaguete used to be a peaceful place to live in, idyllic even... killing people was so unheard of during my childhood days in Dumaguete, the city of gentle people. Nalungkot naman ako.
