Villanueva of Roxas City – A family of Board Topnotchers in Medicine

Where in the world can this “sui generic” feat be duplicated. Indeed this is a tautological occurrence, not statement, as the lexicon implies, we Capiceños can be proud of!

Dr. Paulo and Irene Potato Villanueva

A “sui generic” clan of sagacious literati emerged in Roxas City with Dr. Paulo Potato Villanueva’s topping the 2008 Medical Board of Medicine Examination. The young doctor who graduated magna cum laude from UST and a 4th placer of the 1,513 who hurdled in this year’s Board Exam in Medicine is the son of Dr. Renato A. Villanueva and Mrs. Susan I. Potato who are graduates of UST. He came out 11th placer in the Board Exam in Medicine 1976 and topnotcher in Cardio Vascular and Thoracic Board Exam in 1986. Dr. Renato A. Villanueva is now the Chief Surgeon at the Philippine Heart Center and the pride of Capizeños.
