Elected PDA, Pampanga Chapter President in 2004

 

My Certificate as PDA, Pampanga Chapter PRESIDENT in 2004

 

 

In 2004, I was honored to be elected as the President of the PDA (Philippine Dental Association), Pampanga Chapter- However, my Resignation from the said position  was a result of Multiple Factors, including my appointment as a  "Legislation Committee Officer", "Health concerns and the Need for Better Self-Care". 

 

 Appointment as a Legislation Committee Officer: 

 One of the reasons for my resignation was my appointment as a "Legislation Committee Officer for the PDA in 2004". This role required me to review proposed amendments to the Dental Law of 1965 and recommend the passage of a revised and new Dental Act. The proposed amendments hold great promise for the “Future of Dentistry in the Philippines.”  However, the responsibilities associated with this role took precedence over my Presidential position, making it difficult for me to balance both roles effectively. 

 

Health Concerns: 

My diagnosis of Diabetes played a significant role in my decision to resign. My health condition necessitated the need for better self-care and prioritization of my well-being. Balancing the responsibilities of my Presidential position and the Legislation Committee Officer role made it challenging for me to manage my health effectively.

 

In conclusion, my resignation was a result of the conflicting demands of my Legislation Committee Officer role and my Health concerns. The appointment as a Legislation Committee Officer made it difficult for me to balance both roles effectively, while my Diabetes diagnosis emphasized the importance of prioritizing my health.

 

After taking my Oath of Office, I decided to resign. No letter of resignation was submitted as I communicated my decision to the officers & members of the PDA, Pampanga Chapter directly.

Dr. Rico Sunglao, a fellow dentist from Guagua, later assumed the Presidency after my resignation. The transition was smooth, and the PDA, Pampanga Chapter continued to operate effectively under Dr. Sunglao’s leadership.

  Continued Success of the Organization

Despite my resignation, the organization continued to thrive under the leadership of Dr. Rico Sunglao.

 The PDA, Pampanga Chapter, maintained its momentum and focus on its mission to serve the dental community and promote the advancement of dentistry.

The organization continued to flourish under the competent leadership of Dr. Rico Sunglao.
