CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.0. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Philippines is one of the country with highest population. According to US Census

Bureau, Philippines is ranked 12th in the world’s most populous country, contributing
1.35% of total population in the world. Aside from this fact, Philippines is also considered
as a third world country which means the development of our country is slower compare
to other countries. Services offered are limited to sustain the growing needs of the people
especially those in the rural and sub-urban areas.
Hospitals serve as the locus of health care delivery in the Philippines. With 1,800
hospitals and over 87,000 beds, most households go directly to hospitals for treatment of
illnesses.
In the country, some places do not have enough medical facility to cater ordinary
citizens because of the growing population and the in accessibility of these area. Some
hospitals need proper ventilation and circulation for the users.
In the other hand, Bulacan has a total population of 3,292,071 people, this is
according to 2015 census. Due to this, Bulacan is the highest populated province in Region
III and the 2nd most populous in the Philippines. However, Bulacan's most populated city
is San Jose del Monte, the most populated municipality is Santa Maria while the least
populated is Doña Remedios Trinidad.
According to the Provincial Government of Bulacan (PGB), the seven public
hospitals in the province have consistently recorded more than one hundred percent
occupancy rate over for the past six years (2002-2007).

It is an integral part of social and medical organization that function to provide a

complete health care to the people.
In Bulacan, some places do not have enough medical facility to cater ordinary
citizens because of the growing population and the in accessibility of these area. Some
hospitals need proper ventilation and circulation for the users.

Mary Mediatrix Medical Center provides a wide range of hospital services in

Batangas, Philippines. It all began with a dream. In 1958, Dr. Vicente L. Magsino Sr.,
returned to Lipa after a successful medical stint in the United States. Brimming with
passion for a better healthcare, especially for the needy, he started his auspicious career in
a modest clinic. The dream was met with demand. The simple medical outpost grew into
the Magsino General Hospital, a two-storey facility with 30 beds and adequate basic
services. More locals, including those from nearby towns, chose MGH.
The hospital gained the trust and respect of both patients and professionals, with
up-and-coming doctors and nurses opting to join the MGH family. Indeed, the Magsino
General Hospital strengthened its familial roots, figuratively and literally. Most of Dr.
Magsino’s children also became doctors and health professionals, and together they
dedicated their lives to improving health care services in the community. On July 23, Mary
Mediatrix Medical Center was opened to the public. Named after its patron, Our Lady of
Lipa Mary Mediatrix of All Graces, the former Magsino General Hospital increased its bed
capacity to 100 and offered advanced diagnostic services to cater to its large patient base.

Mary Mediatrix Medical Center has become a full-pledged institution with addition
of more specialists, services and technologies, bringing a holistic state-of-the-art healthcare
closer to the people of Lipa and the surrounding localities. Showing that the dream never
ends, Mary Mediatrix received the ISO 9001:2008 certification, which attests to
international quality standards of the hospital, enhancing customer satisfaction. The
hospital added an annex building housing its new Dialysis Center, more patient rooms and
a larger emergency room. This symbolizes the relentless commitment of Mary Mediatrix
Medical Center to provide healthcare of the highest standards to the people of the region.

In the late 80’s and early 90’s saw the arrival of a new breed of doctors who came
to the city of Lipa to establish their medical practice. Most of them are Lipeños while the
rest came from other parts of Batangas and even from far-away Mindanao.

Considering its strategic location, burgeoning economy, cool weather and over-all
warmth of its people, they came bringing with them their expertise after years of rigorous
training in various specialties. The established doctors in the city welcomed them with open
arms knowing that they are a boon to the health care delivery system and assets to the local
medical society.

Truly it did not take so long for these doctors to claim their niche in the medical
community. Eventually realizing that there’s so much ahead, these doctors made an
auspicious start by establishing a laboratory to cater to the needs of their patients. This
came to be known as Citimedics, Inc. which still stands today. The idea in putting this up
was the off-shoot of shared experiences of these doctors who foresaw that the only way to
 A PROPOSED SAN JOSE DEL MONTE, BULACAN
GENERAL HOSPITAL

MOJARES, LYKA M. 16-00853

pursue continuous professional growth and at the same time offer better health services
would be to eventually to set up a medical center.

Among these doctors are Diosdado Capacia (Family Medicine), Ramiro de Castro
(General Surgery), Nestor Atienza (Internal Medicine/Oncology), Becky Que (OB-GYN),
Irene-Cita Dy (Pediatrics). Soon joining them were those who have already firmly
established their practice from way back: Esperanza Ilagan (Internal
Medicine/Cardiology), Dalisay Kison (Family Medicine), Iluminada Comia (Family
Medicine/Pediatrics), Priscilla Farinas (Radiology) husband and wife team of Cesar and
Imelda Dimayuga (both Family Medicine). It was at this time that the lease contract for
Lasig General Hospital managed by Dr. Jose Rene de Grano and co. was about to expire
and so was also that of Mount Carmel Hospital managed by Dr. Perla Olave leading them
to join the group.

After a series of meeting held at Citimedics laboratory and at Clinica Dimayuga,

the importance of establishing a medical center was conceptualized. Dr. Nestor Atienza
and Dr. Diosdado Capacia were tasked to look for a possible site to establish a hospital.
Initially considered were the former Jimenez Hospital and the old three-storey wooden
building just across it. Realizing that these sites have no extra space for possible expansion
and absence of adequate parking, they temporarily abandoned this plan.

The discussion of establishing a medical center at par with the biggest one in Lipa,
at that time was NL Villa Hospital, became a serious discussion. Dr. Alfred del Castillo
also joined the group and he was tasked in scouting for a more ideal location. The site now
occupied by Hotel ni Mang Jose was first considered but due to its steep terrain and a
relatively limited area of 2000 sq.m, it was disregarded.

The group soon managed to find the present site of Lipa Medix Medical Center
after negotiations with the owners (Bathan-Banawa Family) led to the initial purchase of
3000 sq.m at P1,300 per sq.m. It was a risky gamble as that area of Ayala Highway which
was how it was called then was rather bear with only a sprinkling of girlie bars and absence
of regular transportation service. However, with firm resolve and only fervent hope for a
 A PROPOSED SAN JOSE DEL MONTE, BULACAN
GENERAL HOSPITAL

MOJARES, LYKA M. 16-00853

successful venture it gathered momentum and by the time the lot was purchased there were
already 45 “willing albeit nervous” incorporators. Each incoporator contributed P 100,000
for the purchase of the lot.

A series of meetings was held at Hapag Restaurant to discuss about SEC

registration as a corporation and on March 8, 1993, the corporation was registered with
SEC as Lipa Medics Incorporated. After almost 1 ½ month, ground breaking ceremony
and ceremonial burying of capsule was done on May 25, 1993, with guests of honor Dr.
Thelma Navarete-Clemente and former Congressman and Senator Ralph Recto. It was
decided that a 3-storey building will suffice but with a foundation to support 6-storeys.

In one of the meetings held at Hapag Restaurant, the hospital vision and mission
were formulated. It was a wrong notion by some incorporators that a hundred thousand
pesos share was enough to have a building. Some kinks were ironed out and it was agreed
upon that P 5,000 to P10,000 each must be paid on monthly installment which continued
until the first year of hospital operation. An P18,000,000.00 loan was granted from SSS
through Metrobank in order to furnish the hospital with the required medical equipment
and to cope with other operational expenses.

On July 20, 1994, Lipa Medix Medical Center, a 3-storey hospital building with
50-bed capacity became fully operational. Dr. Nestor Atienza was the founding Chairman
of the Board and Dr. Jose Pepito Tenorio was the founding President. The first hospital
Medical Director was Dr. Jose Rene de Grano with Dr. Cesar Dimayuga, as the first
Hospital Administrator and Dr. Alfred del Castillo was the first Chief of Clinics. Said
hospital managers occupied their posts for several years without renumeration as the
daunting task of paying the loan without defaulting was a priority.

In 1996, the 23-room OPD was constructed, housing 60 clinicians. Under the
chairmanship of Dr. Celso Ramos, the construction of the 4th floor was started in 1999,
increasing its capacity to 75 beds. The Psychiatry Ward and Drug Detoxification Center
and the Industrial Clinic were also created. By this time too, the Dialysis Unit was already
in full swing.
 A PROPOSED SAN JOSE DEL MONTE, BULACAN
GENERAL HOSPITAL

MOJARES, LYKA M. 16-00853

In August 2003, under the chairmanship of Dr. Larry Manaligod, saw a major
growth of LMI: 15 new incorporators were added, raising P28M from the sale, the lot
where the new building was erected. It was also during this year, that the 10th GMM held
aboard the Star Virgo in Singapore on Feb 22, 2004.

In 2005, under the chairmanship of Dr. Jose Lacorte, the Residency Training
Program was conceptualized. Part of the corporate obligation to the victims of calamities,
we donated one hundred thousand pesos (P100,000.00) to the landslide victims of Leyte
and Mindoro. He implemented the construction of the new building and acquisition of the
new 2D-echo machine and new ultrasound unit.

Barely 10 years after its operation, LMMC saw another milestone. Under the
chairmanship of Dr. Edwin Mendoza, the construction of the new building was started,
together with the expansion of the OR-DR complex and creation of state-of-the-art ICU.
The new building became operational in July 22, 2008 which housed the Heart Center,
Lithotripsy Center (the first in South Luzon), Dialysis Center, Pulmonary Unit and 20 suite
rooms making it a 100-bed capacity Medical Center.

In 2007, realizing the value of adding new practitioners and subspecialists, 40

common shareholders were added.

In 2008, under the leadership of Dr. Edwin Mendoza and Dr. Nestor Atienza, the
construction of 3rd floor of the new building was started. It was also under their leadership
that the High Risk Pregnancy and Infertility Center was created and became operational.
Equipped with 4D Ultrasound and capable of basic infertility work up and management,
this center is manned by a Perinatologist, a Reproductive Endocrinologist and OB-GYN
Sonologists.

In line with their vision to achieve a complete and competitive medical facility,
these two leaders also approved the creation of Minimally Invasive Surgical Unit and
Training Program for the Department of Pediatrics. The OPD was also renovated. As part
 A PROPOSED SAN JOSE DEL MONTE, BULACAN
GENERAL HOSPITAL

MOJARES, LYKA M. 16-00853

of corporate social responsibility, the corporation donated one house thru Gawad Kalinga,
the recipient being one of hospital female orderlies.

In addition to existing hospital equipment under the chairmanship of Dr. Gil

Maderazo, the hospital mission and vision were realized. The Neurodiagnostic Center –
consisting of EEG, EMG, and Audiometry – became operational. In addition to
radiological services, mammogram was acquired together with nuclear medicine set up.
Several nursing schools became affiliates to address their educational requirements.

Additional doctors with subspecialties were accepted not only as practitioners but
as owners as well. The position of Quality Assurance Officer became active in line with
the Philhealth thrust of providing excellent service to patients. With Dr. Teresita Andal
being the head of Quality Assurance office who work in collaboration with QA team. The
Chief of Clinics Dr. Danilo Vergara, together with the Medical Executive Committee,
formulated the LMMC Medical By-Laws. He also updated the roster of medical
practitioners and initiated the completion and organization of their 201 files.

Several hospital committees were added and activated to address the requirements.
Ethics Review Board to protect the rights and welfare of human participating as subjects
in research study. Internal Audit System Department to safeguard hospital resources and
the Master Plan Committee – who suggests to the Board of Directors short and long term
plans for hospital infrastructure. As part of future infrastructure expansion another lot was
purchased. At present the hospital is situated in a 1.510 hectares of land.

As part of social corporate obligation brought about by devastation of Typhoon

Ondoy, the hospital, thru De La Salle Lipa Brothers, donated P50,000.00 cash. Truck loads
of can goods, medicines, used clothing and bottled water were sent. Because of the
advocacy of providing modern quality healthcare and yet affordable healthcare services,
the hospital came to be known as “Your Friendly Neighborhood Hospital”.
