- 1963-1966
Mr. Bernardo T. Tabaosares was elected as the first President of the Society and was its President from 1963 to 1966.
During his term, the society was so much involved with the Philippine Association of Medical Technologists (PAMET).
- 1966 - 1968
Prof. Nardito Moraleta, an FEU Medical Technology graduate of 1965 was elected President of the organization during the Alumni Homecoming in June 1966.
During his term, the FEU Medical Technology Alumni members actively participated in the PAMET activities since Mr. Moraleta was elected as one of its Board of Directors. It was also during his term that the name of the organization, FEU Medical Technology Alumni Society was changed to
FEU Medical Technology Alumni Association, through a resolution passed and approved by the body during the 1967 Alumni Homecoming for the following reasons:
To upgrade the image of the organization to a higher status for a more respectable and dignified category in the perception of any national organizations such as the PAMET, PASMETH and/or Inter University Graduates' Forum to where delegates and/or representatives are sent to represent our organization.
They can be more acceptable, recognized and classified to a higher level of delegates.
The FEU Medical Technology Alumni felt that the term Society was applicable only to a small group of people who constantly get together and call their group a society such as clans, barkadas, small group of workers or laborers, similar to fraternities and sororities, etc.
But not for a big group whose membership is composed of intelligent, respectable, responsible and decent professionals.
That the number of its membership has grown up to a bigger number and is continuously getting bigger yearly, the name of the organization therefore should be proportional to the number of membership.
In 1967, Prof. Moraleta was re-elected President of the PAMET and was able to work for the passage of S.B. No. 996 in the Senate and follow it up at the Office of the President of the Philippines for His Excellency's approval of R.A. 5527.
He relinquished his presidency of the Association during the Annual Alumni Homecoming in June 1968.
- 1968-1970
Mr. Nicanor Sutingco, FEU Medical Technology Graduate of 1965 was elected President of the Association.
However, he decided to take up medicine at the FEU Institute of Medicine and became very busy with his medical studies. He then delegated his position to Mr. Vicente de Guzman in Sept. 1970.
Mr. De Guzman became the Acting President but after a few months, he decided to migrate to the United States of America. The other officers failed to meet and there was no Alumni Homecoming for the year 1970.
- 1971-1973
Mrs. Rosario Giron-Garcia FEU Medical Technology graduate of 1965 together with Dr. Liberato dela Rosa (graduate of 1967) moved to reorganize the Association.
Dr. Liberato dela Rosa was elected President of the Association. However, after a grand reunion in one of the big hotels in Makati,
the Association became silent and inactive most probably due to the declaration of Martial Law by Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos (that prohibited meetings of any organizations as Martial Law implies.)
- 1974
Mrs. Rosario Giron-Garcia again re-organized the Alumni Association and Miss Venerable Oca was elected President.
During her term, the Association was so active in holding medical missions in the poor areas of Metro Manila and rural areas.
- 1976
Mr. Nardito Moraleta was re-elected in the Alumni Homecoming held at Covelandia Resort, Cavite. During his term, he was the Officer- in charge of the FEU Medical Technology Office.
He was also involved with the Philippine Association of Schools of Medical Technology and Hygiene. Likewise, he was also the overall coordinator of all Medical Technology Schools in Metro Manila for the project of the First Lady Madam Imelda R. Marcos "Ang Dugo ay Buhay" and his obligation as Sanggunian Representative of his Barangay, 2nd District of Manila.
With so much tasks to do, he had to relinquish his position again as president during the Alumni Homecoming of 1977.
- 1977-1980
Miss Venerable Oca was re-elected as President of the Society. Incidentally, she was also busy working for her candidacy for the PAMET Presidency and was finally elected its president. It was also during this time that she became the Technical Director of Becton-Dickinson International of the Philippines.
With so many obligations, it was inevitable that Ms. Oca can spare only little time for the Association.
The Association then went into another slumber in 1980. It was also during this time that the Association suffered a big loss in the death of Mrs. Rosario Giron-Garcia, a staunch supporter and motivator of the Association.
- 1981-1986
Dr. Liberato dela Rosa acted as president for several years. His work was to administer oath to the new graduates of the FEU-NRMF SMT as members of the Alumni Association, whose existence was nowhere to be found. No alumni membership fees were collected during these years.
- 1987-1998
Dr. dela Rosa tried to revive the Association in 1987. He was elected as the President for this year. However, due to lack of funds, interest and cooperation, the Association went into hibernation again.
He continued to administer the oath of membership to the Association of the new Medical Technology graduates of FEU-NRMF SMT during graduations.
- 1999-2000
Dr. Liberato dela Rosa again initiated the revival of the Alumni Association together with Dr. Maximo Axibal, Dr. Rogelda G. Bongat (the new head of the School of Medical Technology), Magdalena F. Natividad (the Assistant Head), Jose Ronnie O. Castil, Consuelo P. Menor,
Celia R. Roslin, Maria Benilda B. de Guzman, Nova Aida C. Raboy and others. This time around, he succeeded.
