informing the medical spheres. As a renowned authority on the subjects, his colleagues rely heavily on his
knowledge of changes. Because of his frequent global travel it is no wonder that to get in touch with Jack

Canada as well to other Filipinos in the Philippines and other countries.
His awards and citations are numerous and very impressive. Very proud of his heritage as a Filipino,
whenever he accepts an accolade, he makes it known that he is a Filipino. Among the awards he

equally impressive "Research Scholar and Career Scientist of the Fonds de la Recherche en Sante du

is also one of the handful researchers in the world to receive the most coveted and prestigious "Pediatric

Jack's outstanding achievements are all documented by the Canadian Government as well as the various
international organizations that deal with research and developments in medicine.He is cited in "Who Is
Who in America," and "Who Is Who in Canada." He is named in both of the most globally coveted listings
among achievers: "Who Is Who in the World," and the "American Men and Women of Science."
Fe A. Cardona, MD, MPH, FAAP of Columbia, South Carolina aptly sums up a simple description of Jack
Aranda: "Human progress has often depended on the courage of a man who dared to be different. You are
different! You changed the lives of many and you gained the admiration of the whole world. You are a Triton
among the minnows."
Jack Aranda is the son of Anacleto T. Aranda and the former Gorgonia Velasco, both of Bacarra, Ilocos Norte.
He was born in Dec. 29, 1942 in Tumauini, Isabela. He finished high school from Tumauini Academy
and his Associates in Arts with honors from Manila Central University (MCU). In 1965, he received his Doctor
of Medicines from MCU, and immediately after a brief internship at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Subic Bay, he
came to the United States to pursue advance courses. Completing his Rotating Internship at Washington
Hospital Center and the Children's Hospital, both in Washington, D.C., in 1966, he transferred to upstate New
York in Syracuse's State University of New York Upstate Medical Center completing both his Junior and Senior
Residents in Pediatrics in 1968. That same year, he acquired his Research Fellow in Neonatology at
Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital in Clevland, Ohio. Pursuing higher education in Montreal, Canada,
he joined McGill University and the Montreal's Children Hospital to complete his Clinical Research Fellow in
Newborn Medicine in 1971. For four years, he diligently struggled to pursue higher education at McGill
University and successfully acquired not only his Medical Research Council Fellow, but as well a Graduate
Student with a degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Jack belongs to several local, national and international
medical societies. He has been sought as a Visiting Professor in Europe, Asia and Middle East. His
degrees, certifications, publications, fellowships are too numerous to mention here.
He is the proud father of Kenneth Frederic, 19, and Christopher, 17.
