The Legacy of Dr. Flordeliza M. Baltazar
What They Say About Dean Flordeliza Baltazar...
"A great woman with a brilliant mind."
-FEU NRMF Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
"We have become well disciplined obstetricians gynecologists because of Dr. Flordeliza Baltazar."
-Dr. Maricar Quevedo, former president, Phil. Obstetrical and Gynecological Society
"She is a woman of stature. Not all of us can be like her. My only advantage over her is that I have become a natural mother. But, Dr. Baltazar is a mother, an aunt and a grand monther to all her family members and I know she showered them with love and generosity."
"Dr. Baltazar had her own way of dealing with people. In her simple and quiet way, she would make you do what she felt was right to be done. She didn't need to lift her voice to do things. She had the essence of leadership."
-Dr. Lilia Luna, former president, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society
Dr. Baltazar is a paragon of good behavior and propriety that's why we respected her so well. She's diligent in her functions and a true academe in her presentations in scientific meetings. She carried her academic diligence to the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society that's why in 1994 she was awarded the Baldomero Roxas Award for highest academic distinction. She deserves so well to be remembered by the society."
-Dr. Santiago Del Rosario, former president, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society and Philippine Medical Association
"I saw how Dr. Baltazar worked. She was very efficient, well disciplined and very dedicated to FEU and her patients. She's a woman of steel. I have always admired her work ethics. For being an epitome of a well rounded OB-Gyn, she received the FIGO award, an international award given to an outstanding OB-Gyn practitioner. This was in the year 2000 in Washington D.C."
-Dr. Evelyn Palaypayon, former president, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society
"Dr. Baltazar is very kind and hardworking."
-Dr. Corazon Lim, former president, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynceological Society
"Dr. Baltazar shared her generosity not only to her family but also to the people around her."
-Dr. Sylvia Carnero, former president, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society
"When I was and OB resident in UST, I had the privilege of assisting Dr. Baltazar in a cesarian operation when she was our guest surgeon. She did the operation in a very simple manner, very fine, no extra movement, no raising of voice, and everything went smooth and she did it as a well disciplined obstetrician"
Dr. Cherry Solis, public relations officer, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society.
"Dr. Baltazar respects others' opinion even if it runs counter to her beliefs. When she knew that I don't do ligation she called my attention and asked what kind of family planning method do I advice my patients and I told her that I advocate natural family planning method. She didn't influence me to change my stand but instead she gave me a nod and told me that it is fine."
Dr. Deanne Campo Cruz, senior consultant, FEU-NRMF
"I always admire Dr. Baltazar's management skills. She will never raise her voice when she's angry but she has a way to make you realize your mistakes. She values punctuality to high regard and she instilled discipline to her subordinates. She would always say that when you accept a position, have the commitment to do it."
-Dr. Policarpio Joves, medical director, FEU Hospital
"She was diminutive in size but she was a tower of influence to those whose lives and careers she has touched.
-Dr. Jesus Tomacruz, former president, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society
