This photo was taken February of last year for the launching of the Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Award in the celebration of Leprosy Week. It is such an honor to see your great grand father still being remembered by the new generation. This proves that his contribution to the world of leprosy is appreciated not only by Filipinos, but also by other leprologists abroad.
If you are thinking that his greatest contribution in my life is a cure for leprosy, well.. you are WRONG!
He gave me someone bigger than I wished for, his youngest son.
That is my grandfather fondly called by his friends and relatives as "Ping"
(I've been wanting to write this entry but my Lolo is always around so now that he's in Manila, I can finally concentrate to my tribute entry!)
