Pandan RHU

Feeling deeply honored, grateful, and humbled.

As I mark my 35th year as the Municipal Health Officer of Pandan, the Philippine Medical Association has awarded me the Dr. Jose P. Rizal Gold Medallion as a finalist under the Government Service Category during the 119th PMA Annual Convention in May 2026 at Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City.

I humbly offer this recognition to my family, the Catanduanes Medical Society, the Association of Municipal Health Officers of the Philippines, Inc., the Philippine Public Health Association, the Department of Health, the Provincial Health Office, LGU-Pandan, Pandan RHU, DOH Human Resources for Health, and to all Pandananons who have walked this journey with me.

To God be the highest glory!
*Layag, Pandan!*

Cogratulations Dra. Ma Theresa Mariano! Pandan RHU staff are so proud of you!🎊🎉👏
