Stronger and Globally-Competitive Philippine Dentistry

As reported in tri-media, the recent string of cases on robbery hold-up, molestation and to some extent the ruthless killing committed to some member dentists of the Philippine Dental Association and their staff is really very alarming.

The PDA strongly condemns these inhumane and barbaric acts of violence against our members. We have been in constant touch with the police and some law enforcement agencies. We already had a series of meetings with the officers of the NCRPO and the Manila Police District and it is our hope that justice will be served very soon against the perpetrators.

Based from the consultation that we had with Gen. Roberto P. Rongavilla, the Director of the Manila Police District, below are some of the Crime Prevention Tips that he has shared for all our members to follow:

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS

1. Installation of Close Circuit Television (CCTV)
2. Installation of burglar alarm
3. Hiring services of security agency/security guards
4. Should have personally trusted assistant preferably male
5. Know the locations and emergency telephone numbers of police station, fire department, hospitals (Dial 117, Text 2920)
6. Before consulting walk-in patient, be sure to get his personal details and photograph him/her
7. Clinic doors should be double lock and there should be other door to be use in case of emergency
8. Keep your clinic well lighted
9. Have a presence of mind
10. Shout or call for help
11. Report the crime to the police, describe the attacker/suspect accurately

For your information and guidance.
