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 … Read entire article »
