The 1st quarter of my term was indeed loaded with an avalanche of activities that aims to serve the people in the entire province of Pangasinan especially the poor and the underprivileged. With this, I would like to thank all the officers and members of the chapter who shared their time, sacrifices and cooperation for us to be able to accomplish all our projects.

Thank you also to our mother organization, the PDA, for its continuous support and assistance to the chapter and not to forget of course,to our benevolent sponsors who are always behind us ever ready to help us in all our programs. To all of you my heartfelt thanks……We’re now on our 2nd quarter….let us continue to work and serve our people. Good day and God bless.

Hindsight brings forth the fulfillment of looking back at past achievements. Foresight presents the anticipation of the successes ahead. Along the way we encounter people we look forward to meeting. A twist of fate however, may bring us face to face with individuals not worthy of our welcome.

It’s nothing new, actually. News about dental clinics robbed, specifically those operated by female dentists, recently gained attention from the dental community. Private clinics are most vulnerable to these crimes simply because what we have are one of the open to the general public type of establishments. Hot items are the day’s earnings, laptops, mobile phones, anything worth anything, the list goes on. I was overwhelmed by news that dentists I personally knew have been victimized by these elements, all of them survived the ordeal, with their lives. We could consider them the more fortunate ones.

Boon or bane? Television publicity of this issue promotes heightened awareness of this threat within the dental community. On the other hand it may also give would be criminals the idea that dental clinics being an easy target, a defenseless prey. Newbie criminals have been given the idea, now the criminal community knows.

Just a thought.

We better be prepared.

Until every clinic has its own security personnel frisking every individual who walks through our doors, we are merely sitting ducks waiting to be victimized sooner or later. The PDA recommends working on a by appointment basis only, catering only to known patients the used of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras for surveillance, employing additional male personnel, security services, or plainly arming ourselves. Sad it may sound we can not be that too accomodating to walk-ins any longer. Not anymore. We can never tell who’s who.

The dentists are out.

Do not be surprised. Everyone deserves a break to get away from their clinics’ hectic schedules. Thus, if our dear patient’s tooth is aching or are in need of prophylaxis, we dentist will attend to them as soon as we get back.

The most frequent getaways in the Philippines are Baguio City, Hundred Islands, Boracay and Palawan to mention a few. But little is known that a couple of hours drive from the City of Dagupan hides a place where you can relax and spend time with mother nature, a perfect weekend destination called Cabo Beach.

Dentist dabarkads Ryan, Ruth, Mila Grace, Lorraine, Jovan, Ivee, Carol, Aracel, Amabel and Agnes enjoyed the serenity and beauty of this hidden white sand beach despite the bumpy ride and the seemingly neverending road. This charming paradise embedded by a jewel like brilliance of the sea water will surely captivate everyone’s heart. Wearied by the daily grind, we unwound in the beach endlessly and got tanned. During the night, we stared at the blackness of the sky and lit a bonfire while feasting on hotdogs and marshmallows. The jokes, laughter, crazy dance grooves kept us awake, and the sound of waves splashing through corals served as our lullabies and the experinces shared are truly worth remembering.
