A daughter of the owners of UTC Business Enterprises, a byword in the city's copra business and powdered tree bark for coconut wine making, topped the licensure examination for medical practitioners. Edilfavia Mae Suaybaguio Uy, daughter of Edilfonso Uy (nee Favia Suaybaguio) of San Jose St. , this city, was ecstatic when she learned at midnight Friday that she was the topnotcher in the recent medical board. She is the granddaughter of the late Alfonso Uy of the First Consolidated Bank fame and Paz Uy. She is a nephew of Richard Uy, FCB chair and Joven Uy, president of Palm, Inc. A consistent honor student, she was a full scholar from pre-med to medicine proper.

Her elementary and high school studies were spent at the Bohol Wisdom School where she graduated valedictorian in both elementary and high school levels. When she took her BS Psychology at the Cebu Doctors Hospital for her pre-med course, she graduated magna cum laude. While taking her pre-med and medicine proper at Cebu Doc, Uy garnered a total of 18 awards. When interviewed over a Cebu radio station what prompted her to take medicine, she said she thought of becoming a doctor because she was sickly as a child. She also like the doctors' white uniforms. Other than managing the flagship UTC of the Uys, his father is also in the trucking business.

In the 50's and 60's and throughout the 70's the family business ran by his grandfather, UTC was not just a name. It was a brand synonymous to “binokbok tungog”, or powdered tree bark. The late Alfonso Uy who pioneered the consolidation of all rural banks in Bohol was also known for revolutionizing the use of powdered tree bark, the main ingredient in the making of coconut wine. After the death of the Uy patriarch, the FCB which he co-founded became one of the biggest private development banks in the country with branches all over.
