The earliest veterinary association attached to the PVMA is the Cebu Veterinary Medical Society which was founded in 1963 November. This was headed by Dr. Nestor R. Alonzo, UP-CVS 1937, president and Dr. Rosalio C. Mandin, UP-CVS 1937 as his vice president. Dr. Rodolfo C. Orais, UP-CVM 1963, Dr. Juan C. Vertulfo, UP-CVM 1958 and Dr. Jose L. Guadiz, UP-CVM 1960 were secretary, treasurer and auditor respectively. It was short lived and was only listed in the 1964 PVMA Souvenir Program. It is noteworthy to say that Dr. Nestor R. Alonzo remains unrecognized by the PVMA as an outstanding veterinarian whose activities had national implications.
