104th PDA Convention

I am very honoured to invite all of you to the 104th PDA Annual Convention to be held at the world class SMX Convention Center on April 8-14, 2013. This year we have initiated some innovations to make the registration an efficient and hassle- free process. For the first time, online reg-istration and the use of Point- of- Sale (POS) are made available to all delegates. Debit cards & major credit cards are now accepted.

These are just some of the ways we rein-vent one of the most vital aspects of a convention. We are bringing in world- renowned foreign speakers from all disci-plines of the dental practice for our scientific seminars. We will also open our trade exhibitions to international and local trad-ers for a more comprehensive take on the best and the latest in technology globally.

I encourage you our dear delegates to please avail of the early bird & pre-registration rate to qualify for our grand prizes of (1) GNATUS dental chair courtesy of Dental Concepts & (1) loader based dental bleaching machine courtesy of R&R Newtech which will be raffled off during the Fel-lowship Night.
I enjoin you to remain committed to our practice through constantly updating ourselves and aspiring to be the best we can be for ourselves and the community we vow to serve.

I am humbled and privileged as your General Chair and President-elect to welcome all of you to the
104th PDA Annual Convention with the theme,
“INTENSIFYING PROFESSIONALISM”.
Mabuhay and Dentistang Pilipino!
Mabuhay ang Philippine Dental Association!

Stronger and Globally-Competitive Philippine Dentistry

We are coordinating with the police and other law enforcement agencies in the pursuit of the early resolution of these cases. We call on all our members to remain vigilant and to secure your respective clinics for your own security and safety. In line with this, we will be sending a memorandum circular to all chapters and affiliates nationwide with regard to the safety measures that they may undertake to prevent occurrence of these incident in the future.

Corollary to this, Public and Personal Safety Seminars will be conducted through the different conventions and conferences nationwide in coordination with the different police agencies.

We strongly urge the cooperation of people who may have any idea about the whereabouts of the suspect/s. Attached herewith is the sketch and the crime prevention and safety tips which were recommended by the local law enforcement agencies.

Initial Safety Measures/Prevention

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.
