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.
*
                    Koro 2x

ELENA DJ GARCIA
 ~
Excitingly tells me precious and funny stories of my childhood
Loves to cook many kinds of delectable casseroles and “Ube” dessert
Enjoys the company of grandchildren and all great grandchildren
Nieces and nephews gather around you when they come to visit
Achievement awards of family members make you feel so grateful
 ~
Donations from your good heart make San Miguel folks jubilant
Joyously entertains relatives and friends from many distant cities
 ~
Greatest of love is for the good of your loving and caring family
Advices, great guidance imparted to seven children were fruitful
Regarded and treated me as one of your own accomplished children
Charitable and generous individual who listens to people in need
Industriousness inspire many village people for their future success
Admirable woman who treats many us with kindness and fairness

 (Marcos and Elena are the pride of the families of Gloria, Honorata, Eduardo, Teresa, Amelia, Rufino and Marita)

FLORENCIA B. MARQUEZ

*
FLORENCIA B. MARQUEZ
Faithfully performs duties in the church especially during the “Fiesta”
Loves to be with growing children, guides them in their faith journey
One of the most distinguished volunteers in the village of San Miguel
Remembers many oral histories and families community involvements
Embraces all tasks assigned to her with great love and satisfaction
Noted for being so patient in dealing with many barrio organizations
Catholic religion is devotedly practiced with sincerity and humility
Inspires friends and neighbors to look at life full of great promises
Avails self each time someone comes to ask for her superb assistance
 *
Beautiful flowers picked from friends’ gardens to make pretty bouquets
 *
Memories of people joyfully working are forever etched in her huge heart
Appeals to people for being so compassionate, kind, and understanding
Quiet, simple, and smiles always tell something that makes someone ponder
Unforgettable days at Philippine Tobacco Flue-Curing and Re-Drying Corp.
Eighty years of real happiness spent with happy families and dear relatives
Zooms to many reunion invites of Teodora Cruz Elementary School alumni

    Nobody can even imagine the village without a “Nana Puring.”
