Why does the prospect of meeting new people frighten me? Whydo I blurt out things without thinking about the consequences? Why do I get"kutob" about certain things? Why do I see the forest instead of thetrees?

These and many other questions were explored and answered inthe first Formation Session facilitated by Br. Sockie for the ResidenciaAspirants at the Family Den of the Residencia De La Salle in DLSU-D. Thesession focused on the Myers Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) personality type ofeach Aspirant in the hopes of helping them understand themselves in four areas:

Favorite world: Do you prefer to focus on the outerworld or on your own inner world? This is called Extraversion (E) orIntroversion (I).

Information: Do you prefer to focus on the basicinformation you take in or do you prefer to interpret and add meaning? This iscalled Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).

Decisions: When making decisions, do you preferto first look at logic and consistency or first look at the people and specialcircumstances? This is called Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).

Structure: In dealing with the outside world, doyou prefer to get things decided or do you prefer to stay open to newinformation and options? This is called Judging (J) or Perceiving (P). (From: http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/)

What was interesting was that all the Residencia Aspirants,including Br. Sockie, are Fs (Feeling Type), who look at people first overlogic and consistency. The group quipped: "We desire mercy, notsacrifice."

The Formation Sessions of the Residencia Aspirants are heldevery Semester with different facilitators as part of the personal growthaspect of the Aspirants.

Distinguished Teacher, Dr. RA

Dr. Romeo P. Ariniego, FPCP, FPCC, former vice president for academics of De La Salle Health Sciences Institute and one of the most revered faculty and former dean of the College of Medicine was conferred the Distinguished Teacher Award 2013 last 29 May 2013, during the 44th Annual Convention of the Philippine Heart Association. 

For most of the College of Medicine’s alumni, the award couldn’t be more fitting for the mentor they lovingly call “Dr. RA”. As a teacher of medicine, he has left significant marks in many of past and current DLSHSI faculty and administrators; they always talk about him with respect, affection, and admiration. Known to be always ready to crack his whip during teaching rounds for students who fail to know by heart their patient’s condition, Dr. RA is also a caring and concerned mentor who does not hesitate to help students in need. For years now, his home and his extensive medicine library has been open to scholars who need a place to stay and who want to learn with the doctor. His clinic always has the longest queue of patients of all ages – and conditions – at De La Salle University Medical Center. 

Dr. RA has now donated said home to the De La Salle Health Sciences Institute to ensure that DLSHSI scholars will always have a place to stay even after he is gone. He also gave a very sizable donation for the construction of the DLSHSI library, which was named in his honor. Asked why he chose to donate for the construction of the library, Dr. RA said, “I know how important a library is especially for poor students. Throughout my years of studying, I survived because of the kind librarians who were lenient when it came to my borrowing of books because they knew I didn’t have the money to buy my own copies.”

Dr. RA is also a popular champion of the DLSHSI support staff. In 2007, he established an endowment fund to support the children of support staff who want to become doctors. This scholarship fund currently benefits a medical student who is the daughter of a DLSHSI staff. 

Despite all the accolades he has received – Distinguished Service Award from the Philippine Heart Association, National Lorenzo M. Tañada CHIMES Award from De La Salle Philippines, and the International Health Professional distinction – Dr. RA remains the same compassionate man who up to this day, receives gifts of fruits, crops, and chickens from his patients in lieu of a consultation or professional fee.  

DLSU-D Grants Honoris Causa to Cardinal Tagle

De La Salle University-Dasmariñas (DLSU-D) conferred an honorary degree, Doctor of Humanities (Honoris Causa), to His Eminence Luis Antonio Gokim Cardinal Tagle, D.D. The solemn ceremony was held on 19 June at Ugnayang La Salle of DLSU-D. 

The conferment of the honorary degree is in recognition of his achievements and meaningful contributions to the DLSU-D community. Cardinal Tagle generously and selflessly served as one of the members of the Board of Trustees of the University from 2005 to 2012. Even after serving as Bishop of the Diocese of Imus, Cardinal Tagle continues to inspire and motivate the academic community through the excellence he constantly exhibits and the simplicity and humility that he consistently exudes. The Medal of St. John Baptist de La Salle was also awarded to Cardinal Tagle during the same academic convocation. The Medal is given as a gesture of esteem and appreciation for His Eminence’s valuable contribution as Pastoral leader, in his capacity as former Bishop of the Diocese of Imus, and as now Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Manila. It is also in appreciation for his commitment and support in advancing the Lasallian mission towards making a difference in the lives of countless persons.
