Dr Alfredo Bengzon former VP for Professional Schools Dean of AGSB joins the Lord at age 90

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

We worked with him for over a decade.   His services and leadership will be missed.  Vaya con Dios, Dr Arab.

He led the Faculty Conference for AGSB.  He ate dinner with me one time engaging me in  a deep conversation.  He interviewed me about my current business and made jokes for the plenary regarding me and another who heads a memorial plan company.  Beware if both me and Erniie come together ofering something spectacular.

I remember a lot about him when he made me ahead of everybody else at ER at TMC when I was involved in a bike accident.  He became my attending physician all o f a sudden.  It was of course pro bono   

When my mom was in the ICU and when security shooed us from sleeping  outside the ICU, I complained to him he made sure that we slept albeit on the floor near the ICU.  For him it was not wrong to be malakas esepcially if the malakas is member of the TMC or the AGSB family

I didnt know that he wore the Eagle costume everytime there was UAAP competition

Our sympathies to the family..

Condolence and Prayers for the Late Fr. Thomas Steinbugler former Dean of Admission and Aid

Lux in Domino

Rizal Philippines   |  June 12, 2014

I recently got the word this morning that Fr. Tom Steinbugler, former Dean of Admission and  Aid passed away  and his body lies in state at the Ateneo Loyola Chapels  He will be buried on Saturday.

We had meeting with him sometime in June,  2 years ago at the Ateneo Loyola cafeteria.  Some notable beneficiaries of Fr. Tom's legacy included former Sec of Health Manuel Dayrit, Congressman Jonathan de la Cruz to name others.

He died of  lingering illness and probably old age.

We owe so much to this guy.  I remember when he sent me a handwritten note informing me that I got an Ateneo scholarship.  I did not know much about Ateneo nor did I expect to pass the Ateneo entrance exam, after then activist Emman Lacaba encouraged us at Rizal High School to take Ateneo entrance exam.  He said that Ateneo at that time was encouraging that public schools bright students/graduate should find home in Ateneo.

Fr Stein made it happen.

May he rest in peace.

Thanks Fr. Stein

The idea of having a $10 cheap hemodialysis may become a reality sooner than later

I have posted on another favorite blog.  CheapCures the model of Dr. David Shetty's Narayana Hosptial in India where they have a $10.00 hemodialyis (about P500.00) compared to about P2,500 or  $50.00 Why and how can they do it.  I have talked to Dr Tuazon trying to convince him to maybe start studying and implementing this.

I have discussed this on various occasions with other Professors at Strama defense.  A fellow lady professor is undergoing hemodialysis and it costs her more than $1,200 per month.  It is difficult to be in that situation even if you have money;  as you get weaker, your income generating activity becomes less, and you are inclined to sell your assets or pass the hemodialysis and just die.  The ballooning health care costs catering to the rich and famous are getting heights astronomical.  If you are poor, you cant see a doctor, and just die.  Pitiful.
