The HANDSHAKE between the Philippine Dental Association President DR. BIENVENIDO B. ERAÑA and PAMPANGA DENTAL SOCIETY President DR.GREGORIO Y. RODRIGUEZ was in March 17, 1963 after the Resolution of Reaffiliation with the PDA was approved by the Board of Directors of the Pampanga Dental Society in December 30, 1962.

The Golden Anniversary of any entity only
comes once every 50 years, and this is just as significant and memorable as the
Centennial Year which the PDA celebrated in 2003, for the Centennial of
Philippine Dentistry (hosted by the Pampanga Chapter in Oct.25, 2003) and 2008
for the Centennial of the Philippine Dental Association as our national
organization. Likewise, the Golden
Jubilee celebration of Philippine Dentistry by the PDA was in April 1953 and
hosted by the Federation of Dental Practitioners of the Philippines.
December 30, 2012 marks the 50th
anniversary of the PDA Pampanga Chapter’s Unity with the PDA. I chanced upon an
original letter of invitation of 1962 PDA President Bienvenido B. Eraña to the
Pampanga Dental Society, highly recommending their re- affiliation as a
constituent chapter, and Resolution
dated Dec.30,1962 which amicably resolved the break in the relations between
the Pampanga Dental Society and the Philippine Dental Association in connection
with the Exchange Visitors Program Committee, Subcommittee for Dentists with
regards to securing of permit for dentists to travel abroad.
