"I have known Dr. Angel V Somera, M.D. since the last four decades and I have seen and witnessed how he has displayed a high sense of professionalism in his chosen profession, which only a few Dumaguetenos can be at par. I have known Dr. Lito as a community leader, writer, and a good psychiatrist par excellence. The community has known him since the time of college plays like 'The Sound of Music' at St. Paul University where he played the illustrious Capt. Von Trapp, until then he was a well-respected personality in the civic circle. On the launching of his book called 'A Layman's Guide to COMMON PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL MALADIES, ' let me give my full endorsement and support hoping that people who read it, not only will appreciate Dr. Somera's advocacies but his desire to make life better in his beloved community of ours in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, Philippines."
