Santiago City, Cagayan Valley - March 14, 2024
The Adventist International Health System Philippines, Inc. (AIHSPI) proudly joined Adventist Hospital Santiago City, Inc. (AHSCI) in commemorating its 65th Founding Anniversary during the “Balligi” Gala Night held on March 14, 2024, in Santiago City. Representing AIHSPI was President and CEO Mr. Roy G. Perez, MBA, who celebrated this remarkable milestone alongside fellow hospital presidents, AHSCI staff, government officials, and distinguished guests from the Adventist healthcare network.
With the theme “BALLIGI”, an Ilocano word for “victory”, the evening reflected AHSCI’s journey of resilience, compassion, and service. The acronym BALLIGI stood for Benevolence, Altruism, Leadership, Longevity, Integrity, Gratitude, and Inspiration: core values that have defined the institution’s legacy of Christ-centered healthcare for more than six decades.
The Gala Night was a celebration of triumphs and a renewal of commitment to excellence in healthcare. Guests arrived in elegant attire for a night filled with music, heartfelt speeches, and community spirit. The keynote address was delivered by Pastor Jose Zabat, Jr., Executive Secretary of the North Philippine Union Conference (NPUC), who shared a moving reflection on God’s faithfulness and mission-driven service.
In his message of support, Mr. Perez commended AHSCI’s leadership and staff for their unwavering dedication to service and innovation, noting that their legacy of victory is a beacon of hope in Adventist healthcare. He also emphasized AIHSPI’s continued commitment to strengthening its member institutions through unity, leadership development, and shared mission.
As AHSCI looks ahead to its future, its 65th anniversary stands as a powerful reminder of what faith, compassion, and service can accomplish. AIHSPI celebrates with AHSCI and prays for continued growth, healing, and impact in the years to come.
Congratulations, AHSCI, on 65 years of BALLIGI!
