– Joeffrey Mambucon is the 31-year-old Tigwahanon from San Fernando, Bukidnon whose story went viral recently as he became the first from his tribe to earn a Doctor of Medicine degree at the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute last June 30.

But he said he persisted as he had already learned to appreciate learning. He said he had wanted to become a teacher because he idolized their teachers.Mambucon was the third of six siblings, and grew up without any permanent address.“Nidako ko nga walay klarong address tungod kay sa tribo kanunay mi gabalhin-balhin. Kung asa adunay pwede kapangitaan ug trabaho among pamilya. Mao pud tingali nga gubot kayo akung elementary days tungod kay lima ka skwelahan ako gibalhin balhinan ,” Mambucon said.

“Layo mi kanunay sa skwelahan labaw na katong elementary pa mi mga 1-2 oras gyud among lakawon gikan sa skwelahan ,” he said. “Systematic na ko sauna pa mao pud siguro nga dali ra nako nahibal-an ang “Organ system” sa tawo katong nagmedschool na ko ,” he quipped.His father, Edgardo Mambucon, only finished first grade, but he was the tribal chieftain.

Mambucon served as a nurse at the Bukidnon Provincial Hospital in San Fernando from 2011 to 2015. He said there he was one of only two nurses in the hospital. He served as the emergency room nurse, delivery room nurse, and ward nurse at the same time.
