AWIT NG MANGGAGAMOT SA TONDO

TONDO MEDICAL SOCIETY
TONDO, MANILA, PHILIPPINES

*
Kaming mga manggagamot sa Tondo'y naglilingkod,
Sa mga bata't matatanda, sa mayaman at mga dukha,
Ang kanilang kalusugan, aming pinangangalagaan,
Ano mang sakit at karamdaman, hangad naming malunasan.
*
Bandila'y ginto at pulang kulay, marangal makatarungan,
May tatak ng Kagitingan, pag-asa ng bayan,
Ang sagisag ay Sarimanok ng Kapisanan ng Manggagamot
Sa Tondo ng ini-irog ang Unang Purok ng Lungsod.
*
                    Koro
*
Tondo Medical Society ng Maynilang kinakasi,
Sa pag-unlad bahagi kami, sa patnubay ni YAHWEH,
*
Umaraw man o umulan, bahang 'di maiwasan,
Masungit man ang kalikasan, tuloy ang pulungan,
Kung panahon ng damayan, lahat ay maaasahan,
Matatag na samahan, 'di magagapi ng kasamaan.
*
Pagmamahal sa kapwa, sa aming puso ipinunla,
Ng mga nunong dakila, taga-kanlurang Maynila,
Ito'y aming gagampanan, buhay nami'y nakalaan,
Bukas ang puso't isipan, maglilingkod sa iyo O Inang Bayan.
*

Overjoyed by daughter and son’s school achievements
Extra careful in performing any surgery of specialty

Bountiful blessings received from God are great

Brings a lot of fun and joy to all family gatherings
Approachable, kind, and generous to those in need
Confers with medical surgeons about patient’s status
Obligations and commitment to the family you keep
