This is not her first because at least three years ago, she was also awarded by PVMA as an “Outstanding Veterinarian in Extension Service.” Utlang is a multi awarded veterinarian with her experience in the government service. | Gerard FranciscoIn the cold evening of December 9, 1962, in Ozamis City, Misamis Occidental, Utlang was born — the first child of a farmer and a teacher.
She arrived in Cebu City in 1977 to take up a course in veterinary sciences. She became a full-fledged veterinarian in 1984, then moved to Agusan del Sur for three years. “When they said there was an opening for a position of veterinarian in the Cebu City government, I applied. I got accepted,” she said.
The Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries also actively pursued after those who sold hot meat or illegal meat such as sting rays, double dead meat, and pawikan meat. This was also difficult as she often dealt with substance addicts or dependents. As the COSAP head, she learned that everyone had hope and could change if they were determined to do so.
She will be retiring from government service in 2022, and no longer wish to continue no matter who will be the next mayor. This taught her to stand on her own, and at an early age, be herself. Janjan said her mother never pressured her to do anything else.Janjan’s own greatest gift to her mother was her graduation day when she received her diploma for a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. To her, this moment was when she could finally repay her mother’s sacrifices for her.“She finally got her family. Naa siyay daughter, granddaughter Victoria, and she even gained a son,” Janjan said.
