THELMA TUPASI - the memory of her I will always value and cherish. I was then a neophyte in the profession when I was most fortunate to find a very guiding and inspiring hand in her. Her concern to see colleagues grow and succeed in the profession was very well seen and felt by me. To me, she is a pillar of dedication and determination to heighten the health level of our countrymen. Her enduring efforts in undertaking studies in tuberculosis can attest to this. Her contribution to the field of microbiology is very laudable and for this i consider her as the Mother of Microbiology in the Philippines. Dr. Tupasi ... you are not only an angel but above all an idol to emulate. Glory be to God.
