A LIFE WELL LIVED…
Dr.Tupasi is a GREAT INSPIRATION to all of us. We are here very thankful for the opportunity to have met her and on a personal note to have worked and bond with her during the years of my ID fellowship training and years thereafter.
We witnessed that in spite of a taxing schedule that goes with managing a full - time medical profession to include training of ID specialists, the TDF, a beautiful family, she also found time for other equally important professional and socio - civic activities.NO words can describe how deeply saddened we all are for this loss. She was a person people look up to.
She used her profession as an instrument to help others with NO discrimination. Among her many capabilities include being a sought after excellent lecturer, an avid researcher among others. For someone, living in a wealthy Makati area, what strikes me too, is during her lifetime, she taught us by her own example what it takes to interact in any capacity to help the underprivileged through community involvements with projects such as TB. We all know how dedicated she is to her work and craft. Her discipline is INFECTIOUS. Her innate passion for her profession and how to use it to help others drive her to always strive for excellence and to provide the best quality possible.
To some, she may appear strict, but INSIDE her being, especially among those who truly know her, she is a woman of compassion, generosity and integrity. She will always be remembered
for the way she lived and for what she lived for. Today, her legacy is secure in all of us. Rest assured that we will continue the legacy which she started… We will surely miss her.
