Dr. Ting finished his primary and secondary studies at Bacolod Tay Tung

in Nursing degree at the University of San Carlos while working as an ICU nurse
at RMCI. He later went back to USLS to acquire his medical degree. During his
stint as a medical student, he founded TAMBAL – a student organization that
aims to cure the public’s apathy to achieve a healthier society.
It recently celebrated its 10th year anniversary and has
molded various physicians who are now healthcare leaders in their own fields. It
was during his clinical clerkship at CLMMRH when he dreamed of improving his
country’s healthcare system. After finishing his Post-Graduate Internship at
the University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) and
his Residency Training in Internal Medicine at RMCI, he then went back to
UP-PGH and trained to become a Medical Oncologist. During his fellowship

journals and has received several recognitions for his research works.
Dr. Ting believes that the best investment for the future of healthcare is
in molding the younger generation of physicians to not just become competent
but also compassionate and responsive to the urgent needs of the community.
Thus, he spends majority of his non-clinical time in medical education,
training, and research. Being a humble yet passionate, proficient, and
internationally recognized young expert in the field of oncology, he has served
as a role model and inspiration to many aspiring physicians.
Despite his extremely busy schedule, Dr. Ting strives to dedicate time for his Lovely daughter Anaiah.
