Description

"Money is not our main goal in rendering this kind of commitment or service.” 

 

Makati Medical Center’s interim Co-CEO Dr. Saturnino “Bong” Javier was just a neophyte medical director when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Philippines. Known for fearlessly admonishing those who disregarded quarantine rules, he successfully steered their institution through a global health crisis. 

 

In this episode of Power Talks with Pia Arcangel, Dr. Javier shares how he balances the demands of top leadership with his continued commitment to patient care. Beyond the boardroom and the wards, he still finds time to reconnect with childhood friends and keep up with the latest—not only in the medical field but also in K-pop trends. 

 

How do compassion, competence, and curiosity keep him leading—and healing—in equal measure? Watch this video to find out.
