In writing down the articles on this valuable website for all the Filipino Dentists, it is of primary aim to make it a worthy document and
reminder of our progressive profession. Several years from now, it will be
comforting to leaf through its pages, seeking reminiscences from them and
living them again in memory. There’s no opportune time than now to ponder on
its past, present and future glories!
We only have one phalanx, solid and harmonious; each
dedicated to and helping one another, engaged in individual and friendly
competition with other members for the advancement of dentistry. Under the
mantle of a common organization (PDA), which acts as a clearing house for dental
information and knowledge, the individual members are able to act in unison not
only for the promotion of their common interest and the improvement of their
professional knowledge but also in the performance of their primary role to the
advancement of public health.
One thing is sure: the status of the Philippine Dental Profession is
something we can all be proud of. And whatever we have accomplished in the
past, we have done it towards the direction of a better Philippine Dentistry.
It is for our up-and-coming generation of dentists to meet these challenges and
maintain or even exceed others in this pursuit for progress.
This is the dream of our respected elders, that we heal
wounds and resolve differences, form and pledge allegiances to one
confraternity, and under a common banner, advance the frontiers of dentistry in
the country.
It is a distinct pleasure for me to express my warmest
welcome to all my fellow Filipino Dentists who check this site. Let us take
stock of the prestige, accomplishments and pioneering spirit of everyone, with the noble mission on our march
toward the primary goal of service to humanity and our people.
