Bea Francine C. Luna, ADMU, BS Health Sciences

2026-01-12 13:32:42 UTC

Hello! I'm Bea, and I currently aspire to be a pediatrician who, outside clinic hours, makes time to volunteer for NGOs that align with my advocacies/take on roles in the development sector. I also hope to delve into the business side of health and development, to see how I can contribute to improving health and education services in the Philippines. I learned from my brother that accounting is one of the most important and most useful subjects/topics to learn in school. I am therefore interested in learning the ins and outs of FinAcc through this module, in hopes that it will help me manage and serve better in the near future :)

2026-01-12 19:04:34 UTC

Hi! I'm Keon, and I graduated from the University of Auckland in New Zealand with a Bachelor of Science specializing in Biomedical Science. I took some accounting classes in high school, so accounting won't be too unfamiliar. However, I remember accounting not being my best suit, but I am looking forward to relearning and hoping to tackle accounting in a more mature, applicable way, especially in the medical field.

Hello!, I am Ryan. I am an international student from Brunei Darussalam. I graduated from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) with Bachelor of Health Sciences. As someone with no prior background in accounting and the idea of managing the financial side of a practice feels a bit daunting. However, I am always eager to learn. My expectation would be to learning the tools to eventually run my own private practice.

Hi everyone! I am Louise and I graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University with a degree of BS Biology specializing in Biomedical Sciences. Given my background, I know this subject will be different from what I am used to, yet essential for my pursuit of an MD-MBA degree. Hopefully, I get to challenge myself and learn new things throughout the duration of the course.

2026-01-13 05:26:24 UTC

Hello, I'm Ynez, a BS Health Sciences graduate of Ateneo de Manila University. I've had few accounting classes in the past, so I never felt like I truly got a good grasp on the subject. I hope to complete this course and come away with a comprehensive understanding of it so as to be able to apply it in my personal and professional life in the future.

Hi! I'm Clar and I graduated from ADMU BS PSY 2022. As someone with no prior experience in accounting whether in high school or college, I expect to be like a sponge in FINACC – completely absorbing all the knowledge and information presented to me. I also expect FINACC to be very challenging, but I hope to also enjoy the process of learning in this course!

Hi! I'm Reina, and I graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I grew up surrounded by multiple relatives and family friends who are accountants, and I would often hear accounting terms being used in conversation without knowing what they really meant. This will be my first time taking an actual accounting course myself, so I look forward to learning about the fundamentals of accounting so that I can not only understand these terms more fully, but also apply my knowledge in my future practice.

Kyla Medel

2026-01-13 06:23:17 UTC

Hi, I’m Kyla! I graduated from the University of the Philippines, Diliman with a Bachelor of Science in Family Life and Child Development. The last accounting class I took was in high school so I am both excited and intimidated by this course. I hope to strengthen the foundation of my knowledge and further develop my skill set in accounting.

Lorenzo Montemayor

2026-01-13 06:28:55 UTC

Hello! I am Lorenzo, a BS Health Sciences graduate from Ateneo de Manila University. Since I have limited experience in accounting, I hope the course will start first with building the foundational concepts through guided learning and then slowly advance to more challenging, real-world health related application tasks that we can work on independently.

Jennelito Miguel Jr.

2026-01-13 07:13:14 UTC

Hi! I'm Migo, and I graduated from the University of the Philippines Diliman with a degree in Applied Psychology.

I hope to learn how accounting principles apply to decision-making and management in healthcare settings.

Hey everyone! I'm Annielov but you can call me Annie :D I graduated BS Health Sciences from the Ateneo de Manila University. From my pre-med, I learned that the scope of health goes far beyond what we see at the surface level and so we, as aspiring doctors, are hence called to look through life with holistic and multidisciplinary lenses. I hope that the skills and values I'll get to pick up on through this course will allow me to do so even more.

Hello :D! I am Irmina Angela Pablico, I prefer to be called Yna! I graduated from Ateneo De Manila University with a BS Psychology degree. I aspire to be a psychiatrist or a cardiologist, but am still open to all other medical fields. Though I also want to focus on using my MBA degree in the future, such as owning my own clinic, etc. My expectations for the course are that it is going to be hard because I've never had an accounting class in my life, so everything is going to be new, but am excited about it!

Carmela Jasmin R. Ordoño

2026-01-13 09:12:16 UTC

Hello everyone! I am Carmela but please just call me Mela. I have a BS in Management of Applied Chemistry from the Ateneo de Manila University. As of now, I am not yet committed to a specific medical specialty, but my vision is to complement my medical training with my MBA degree to give back to the community through public health work.

I have previously taken Financial Accounting in my undergraduate studies and did find it challenging. I hope that I'll be able to learn a lot from this class and gain a deeper understanding of the subject within a medical context.

Although I have limited experience in accounting, I am genuinely excited to explore this new topic since I believe that this will be useful in the future.

My older sister works as a tax accountant, so I find it interesting to learn topics that are close to her field while also thinking about how these concepts can be applied in medicine and public health. I’m expecting this course to be challenging but enjoyable, and I’m excited to gain new knowledge and skills that I can carry forward in my future training.

Hello! I'm Iana, and I aspire to become a physician who not only understands the theoreticals well but also shows genuine care and compassion to patients. I don’t have a specific specialization in mind yet, but I’m excited to explore different fields as I go through med school. I’m also open and interested in eventually helping with hospital or clinic administration.

I took an accounting class in college, but all I remember is that it was challenging since numbers have never been my strong suit. Because of that, I expect this course to be difficult, but I’m ready to learn and do my best!

Daniel Maramba

2026-01-13 09:53:39 UTC

Hi I am Daniel Maramba, but most of my peers and instructors just call me as Maramba! I graduated from Ateneo de Manila University with a degree in BS Health Sciences. My vision and philosophy in my medical practice revolved around the idea on bridging service towards the underserved. (Whether this is through clinical practice or more systemic is still unclear but only time will tell) In my undergrad experience we had basic accounting while it gave an introduction to the subject admittedly I still hear a lot of stories on how it will be a challenging topic and as such I am hopeful in being able to get a better grasp towards the field.

Marian Maxene M. Meris | ADMU (BS Life Sciences)

2026-01-13 09:54:32 UTC

Hello, everyone! I’m Marian and simply put, I am hoping to become a doctor to heal others, just as how my own doctors healed me. My passion is fueled by my gratitude and awe of healing as a means for changing lives for the better. I expect that the course will be rigorous, but I am looking forward to it! I believe that with skills in accounting, I can manage the resources of my future practice effectively and with a careful eye.

Anika Therese S. Nicanor, Ateneo De Manila University, BS Biology

2026-01-13 09:55:30 UTC

Hello! I am Anika, a BS Biology graduate from Ateneo De Manila University. Currently, I am still exploring the options for my specialization, but I grew up wanting to be a dermatologist because I wanted to give others the opportunity in being comfortable in their own skin, as I have when I started going to one. However, I generally envision myself in a medical career that allows me to also balance other matters like family and interests. For this course, I honestly don’t have any knowledge in accounting since I didn’t have this in my undergraduate nor high school, so I hope to understand the basics so I may apply it not only in my medical career but possible business opportunities.

Danielle Morales

2026-01-13 09:55:53 UTC

Hello Everyone!

My name is Patricia Danielle A. Morales. I prefer to go by “Danielle” or “Dan.” I graduated with a degree in BS Communications Technology Management from ADMU.

My philosophy for my future medical practice is to go where I am needed the most. While I have gone through the basics of accounting, the class was cut short by the pandemic. So I expect this course to be challenging however, I am excited to finally complete my accounting knowledge and to learn a lot!

Sarah Marie Miraña

I had some experience learning accounting in college because of my track but I believe it was merely scratching the surface so I hope to refresh those knowledge and hone my skills more so that I can put it into real-life practical use.

I believe that a doctor changes the life of a patient not only through healing, but also through genuine human connection and understanding.

Enrique Anton M. Ochoa, ADMU BS Biology

2026-01-13 10:22:57 UTC

Hello! I am Enrique Ochoa but you can call me Queso (yes as in cheese). As of now I have my eyes set on cardiology and orthopedics. As I have no background in accounting at all (even though almost all my family members are very business-oriented), I expect this class to be somewhat difficult and challenging. especially when paired with the already grueling medical subjects. Howewer, I still feel like this will be a fun challenge to delve into something new and that it will be interesting and relevant to understand the business side of the medical profession.

With regards to this subject, I expect this subject to be extremely difficult and challenging, considering that I haven't had any accounting classes in the past.

Lara Bernadette Bauzon, ADMU, BS Psychology

2026-01-15 01:59:44 UTC

Hello, I'm Lara! My vision for my career in medicine is geared toward being a physician in my province, specifically Pangasinan. I haven't taken up any courses in accounting, but I expect it to be difficult. I've also learned from my seniors that, however difficult, accounting is a practical skill that I can use even beyond medicine.
