helping our people back home and seeing all those happy faces truly invigorates him, he says.
Dr. Ho and his group go to the remote places of Visayas and Mindanao, with the assistance of the provincial
hospitals. He prefers to go to the less attended places of the Southern Philippines where the need is much
more acute. His delegation comprise of specialists in various fields.
Ex-Governor More of West Virginia has provided two army places to Dr. Ho's missions to transport equipment
to the Philippines. They bring medical and surgical equipment, supplies, books, and medicine supplies
during these missions. This project is on-going. When Dr. Ho is home in West Virginia, he is constantly
seeking donations from major pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. He sponsors benefit concerts to
raise funds for this project.
Dr. Ho belongs to various professional organizations and a recipient of multiple awards. Some of the awards
bestowed on Dr. Ho are: Dr. David Ealy Community Service Award; St. Lorenzo Ruiz PresidentialMission
Award, Outstanding Service and Achievement Award, Leadership Award from the Tri-State Filipino American
Association; Physician of the Year, Presidential Service Awards, PMA, W. Va.: Community Award, Presidential
Gavel Award, Lion of the Year. Distinguished Award for Community Service from the Moundsville Lions Club;
and Service Award from the Friends of Ohio Valley. Together with these are numerous Appreciation Awards
bestowed on him by different organizations.
Dr. Ho was born in Larena, Siquijor to Mr. & Mrs. Antonio Navera Ho. He is married to Priscilla, a dentist, and
are blessed with three beautiful daugthers, Jenny, Jessica and Jasmine. Both Jenny and Jessica were past
presidents of the APPA Youth Council.
One can easily envision Dr. Ho as an individual who is always on the side of the less fortunate. He brings
hope to the empty lives of many. He descends from the safe, ivory tower of medical profession down to the
arena, to battle for the hurt and embittered fellow physicians. He risks the odds of disillusionment and failure.
For all this, Dr. Ho has certainly earned the respect and commendations of his peers and colleagues. For
these reasons, we give Dr. Ho and big salute! (Condensed from the Philippine Amnerican Medical
Bulletin/June 1990.)
