The 2009 PCP Mid-Year Convention is Cancelled
To Philippine College of Physician (PCP) members,
The North Luzon chapter under the leadership of Dr. Manny Bautista had met
with his team to have an accurate assessment of the impact of the recent
disaster on the prospect of holding the PCP mid-year convention in Baguio
as scheduled. They have wisely deemed it prudent and appropriate to cancel
the mid-year convention that they had earnestly prepared for. At this
time, focus has to be put on the on-going relief operations.
The Board of Regents agrees with their assessment of the situation and
has approved the recommendation to cancel the 2009 mid-year convention in
Baguio. The recommendation to cancel the convention is thus carried out.
Meanwhile, the people of north Luzon need help. We will be figuring out in
the next few days the best way to help. We are one with the people of
North Luzon – especially our colleagues there – and we intend to help
where help can make a difference. Their preparations in Baguio to welcome
us next week during the scheduled convention need not go to waste. The
comfort and relaxation that we would have enjoyed, we definitely wouldn’t
mind giving up in exchange for the comfort and relief of our unfortunate
brothers and sisters who have lost a lot more in the last few days.
The recent disasters have taught us important lessons; we have become more
sensitive to the misfortune of others. We should also learn one important
thing: WE ARE LEADERS. WHAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE LAST FEW DAYS ARE
OPPORTUNITIES TO LEAD.
Kudos to all!
Eugene Ramos

I totally agree with the decision of canceling the PCP midyear convention in Baguio City. We may as well, offer our full support to our disadvantaged colleagues.
