An organization is just like a tree that needs a strong root to hold it still to the ground and to resist any storm that will come along. And in MEDICUS, the roots are its members sharing the same objectives and ideals so as to make the organization strong and progressive.
If you cut a branch in a tree, it will loose its usual splendor but sooner new branch will grow to replace the fallen one. If you cut a tree on its trunk, new buds will sprout which will probably take a long time to branch and bloom but it is still alive. But if you cut out its roots definitely this tree will die and wither. Just the same with our beloved organization, though it was planted in fertile soil with solid trunk and some branches, it will not last long if the roots are weak and there is no adequate attention to it. The organization leaves the option to us. It is either you want to be a leaf that will fall when times comes or a root that exist as long as the tree exist. This is not a matter of enforcement but a matter of commitment.
We have gone quite a long way, and along the way we met different faces (in our brods and sis) and different characters. Though we share the same experiences yet still we have some differences to contend with among ourselves. One purpose of this NEWSLETTER is to is to make for those differences and to serve as a medium to settle those problems. Indeed these problems and differences, are but a storm testing how strong the roots of MEDICUS are. We have expect much of this storms in the future for we know the larger in number, the greater the problem will be. But at the moment, commitment will still have to be implanted on our minds to make those roots of MEDICUS hold firmly to the ground and closer together that no matter how powerful the storm or oven a cyclone is, MEDICUS will not be uprooted.
Notes from the Editor:
On our next issue, we are planning to have a special feature, like interviews from a prominent Medicus personality, letters of suggestions or comments, a birthday corner, a comic strip, a better paper and printout --- to sum up a better MEDICUS NEWSLETTER
In behalf of the MEDICUS FAMILY, we would like to congratulate our brods and sis' who hurdled the Board Exam successfully. And those who are on the top five each year, our warm CONGRATULATIONS.

On the notes of the Editor you might have noticed that the editors plan and this BLOG seems to coincide in content, the only missing part is the comic strip. In those days that strip was supposed to be made by Gilbert (Q) and Ronald (dollar) for if you can see their drawings on our quarters then, it was really nice and funny. I just wished that I have the wherewithal to see what the possible future would be in terms of publishing and have taken some pictures of those drawings before they were painted over by the administration. I will post the other articles in the NEWSLETTER one at a time.
