17 Sergio Restauro, representing good governor, Hon. Gwendolyn Garcia, all the officers,
18 members, Past Presidents, Past Speakers, and delegates to this year’s convention,
19 magandang tangali po sa inyong lahat! Welcome to Cebu!

20 As I was talking to your Speaker, nabanggit niya 50 years na, actually this is the 51st because
21 again since the early 60’s, 1961 to be exact, the first By-laws, set of By-laws were filled up
22 and crafted, the policy making and legislative work were actively pursued by the leadership
23 of the Philippine Dental Association in more than half a century. Later today, the House of
24 Delegates will make a regulatory work even stronger and more attuned to present times. It
25 was also around this time for us in Unilab, that Unilab really started working very closely
26 with the Filipino dentist, practically in all its 67 years of existence in pharmaceutical
27 industry. Well, I am proud again to be standing here once again before you, marching with
28 the dignitaries with all the special people of the HOD and the PDA during the entrance
29 ceremony, and sitting alongside with these people, and of course we miss the good
30 governor.

31 This gives me an opportunity once again to force another year of tight partnership with the
32 Philippine Dental Association specifically the House of Delegates and if I may just call on the
33 people behind this or the people behind me in trying to trim up this activity before you, I
34 would like the people to please stand up to be recognized, Mr. Alex Chua, Mon de Castro
35 and Carlo of Biomedis, Chona, Leo, Vangie and of course Ms. Joy Ong. Sila po ang katuwang
36 natin kaya andito tayong maghapon, hanggang bukas, hanggang Sabado making sure
37 everything goes well in the Mid-year Session. And for as long as infections are arrested by
38 Amox Dofenal, well of course matutuwa si Alex dito and for as long as bleeding is arrested
39 by Hemostan ---- and ----- Happy as we keep our breath always with Swish. Unilab will be by
40 HOD’s side through thick and thin ho ito and we certainly recognize the efforts the
41 judicious, consciencous and productive policy making activity of the body, for indeed the
42 House of Delegates of the Philippine Dental Association is the future of Philippine Dentistry.

43 Maraming salamat po! Congratulations on your 51st at magandang hapon po ulit!



2 Thank you very much, Mr. Chito Sta. Maria, United Laboratory for your ever support to
3 almost all the activities of the House of Delegates and that of the Philippine Dental

21 Ok, congratulations and thank you for all the support that you have given us through the
22 years!

23 With your kind indulgence, allow me to try my Tagalog for this next portion of our program.
24 Ang susunod na magtatalumpati sa harap nating lahat ay isang ginoo na sa wari ko ay tuwid,
25 uliran, responsable, inteligente, natural at siyempre guapo, Turing for short. Ladies and
26 gentlemen, let us all welcome our vagrant PDA President, Dean Arturo “Turing” de Leon.

27 DEAN ARTURO DE LEON (PDA President):

28 Thank you very much Dr. Cabahug for being truthful, except for the last one. Of course I
would like to acknowledge the dignitaries in the table headed by our Hon. Sergio Restauro,
29 Executive Governor, our House Speaker, who is very much behind this preparation and
30 design for this session together with the organizing committee of this Mid-Year House
31 Session, Dr. Clarissa Pe, to our Parliamentarian, Past President, and Past Speaker, Dr. Luis
32 Uy, to our corporate partner, Unilab represented by Dr. Chito Sta. Maria, and members of
33 PMRD and subsidiary companies, to the Officers of the House of Delegates, to the member
34 of the Executive Board, to the men and women of this PDA House of Delegates, to the
35 Affiliate Societies Presidents, to the Council of Past Presidents, to the Council of Past
36 Speakers, friends, ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant good afternoon to all of you.
37 Magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat!

38 I prepared 101 slides for this talumpati, however, due to the essence of time, I just reduced
39 this one piece speech into 4 demonics. The first one tells about what you have? HOD, House
40 of Delegates, now representing it the way you feel for our profession, the way you feel, for
41 our association. As I see it right now and as we feel, everyone feels right now HOD would


1 mean, ”Heavy on Dedication”. To me, everyone, every member of this institution deserves
2 the acronyms of all the men and women of Philippine Dentistry. You will not be here if you
3 do not have that dedication. In fact, you will use that dedication to share your prospective
4 as you define the 4 documents that will depict the collection of Philippine Dentistry.
5 Without such dedication, you cannot contribute to this outmost success. Tunay ng inyong
6 pakikipagpunyagi ay masasalamin sa dedikasyon. Sa inyong walang sawang
7 pakikipagpunyagi sa ating samahan ng mga dentista, HOD, Heavy on Dedication. This again
8 is an opportunity to show it, to underscore such feeling towards to our profession, and you
9 can only do that if you are going to put the name of this institution again to its highest
10 ultimate level. For this institution represents the very essence of what we have and what
11 we are enjoying right now, this is the essence of democracy.

12 Yes my colleagues the second demonic is HOD, House of Democracy. Democracy would
13 actually tell us that everyone who has all equal rights and all privileges, here walang Past
14 Presidents, walang Past Speakers, walang President, walang ordinaryong member, lahat
15 tayo ay pantay, pantay. Bawat opinion ay mahalaga, bawat pananaw ay isang kontribusyon
16 para bumuo ng isang magandang pananaw para sa ating samahan, para sa ating Inang
17 Bayan. This democratic process is the penultimate to what has been prepared for you to be
18 processed through the efforts of the technical working group and its members headed by
19 Dr. Arlissa Aguiluz. What you are going to have right now is the product of their labours,
20 their timeless dedication in making sure that everything pertains to the 4 documents that
21 we are going to post right now with you and possibly amend, would have its right
22 ingredients, right components. We feel that without your approval, everything might not be
23 in its proper prospective. The Executive board requirements the process of exercising its
24 policy making mandates, it is you the men and women of the House of Delegates which
25 should finally put a seal of approval on these 4 documents, and we cannot do this one not
26 unless we are united. Yes, we can agree, we can disagree, but once we agree on one thing,
27 let us be one to see that same picture in going towards that goal. Magiging maaring
28 emotional, maaring maging unheated argumentations, but at the end of the day we all
29 belong to one association, we need to define one direction that leads to the third demonic
30 HOD, you will be given that lead opportunity to shout to the board that here we are HOD,
31 Having one Direction. It is very important for us to see the same picture as we move as to
32 unity towards that goal, but we can only do that one if we first have the panoramic view on
33 everything and of course with due respect to everyone. Walang mali o walang tamang
34 pananaw. Ito po ay isang kusang pagbibigay ng pahalaga sa ating mga ginagawa bilang
35 dentista at bilang kasapi ng samahan. Bigyan po natin ng paggalang ang bawat pananalita
36 ng ating kasamahan. In the end we will be going home with the thought that we
37 contributed towards a meaningful journey of our association.

38 Tita Precy, you gave a very nice demonic of Cebu I would like to use that one Cebu demonic
39 to put everything in its prospective in abbreviation C-E-B-U, Come Everyone Be United.
40 Good afternoon to all of you. Marami pong salamat!


42 Maraming salamat po, Dean Arturo De Leon! And now we would like to call on our Speaker
43 of the House of Delegates to give her own message for all of us, a round of applause for Dr.
44 Clarissa Jane Pe.

45 DR. CLARISSA JANE PE (HOD Speaker):

46 It’s been going over and over my head the many things that I want to say today and in the
47 end I can only say a few words. First of all, I would like to acknowledge our partner who has


1 been there through thick and thin. Thank you from the bottom of our heart, Mr. Chito Sta.
2 Maria and United Laboratories! To our Dean, to our President for his support, his push for
3 positive change, his inspiring criticism for things that you have yet to accomplish, we thank
4 you for that, Sir! To our Parliamentary, Dr. Luis Uy, for bringing us back to the right road, we
5 still have a long way to go, but yet we will not be alone, we will all be together. And for our
6 Keynote Speaker, a doctor in profession, a DMD specialist, the Chair of Provincial Board of
7 the province of Cebu, Dr. Sergio Restauro, and to all the men and women of the Executive
8 Board, you will be acknowledged individually later in the roll call, to the Past President and
9 Past Speakers, I am humbled by your presence because in the 50 years of existence of the
10 House of Delegates we haven’t had this number of Past Speakers and Past Presidents in one
11 mid-year session. Thank you very much! To the delegates who are called here today, we
12 thank you from the bottom of our heart for responding to our invitation! A few months ago
13 during the annual session in November 2011, there was a strong clamour for mid-year
14 session to be held in Cebu, it was a big challenge, and it is a big challenge to bring you here.
15 We beg your kind indulgence, our apologies for whatever little inconveniences that you may
16 have experienced! There are things that are beyond our control, we can ask only for kind
17 understanding with that. We are all here called for a mission. 50 years of existence of House
18 of Delegates is something that we owe to our Past Speakers, Past Presidents, all the men
19 and women who had been here also like us today seated with one goal to make the
20 Philippine Dental Association achieve its goal in proving dental help to the nation through
21 our respective practices, through our individual Chapters where we come from. There is so
22 much in the history of the House of Delegates, today, we start another 50 years. By then,
23 most of us may not be here anymore, but let us leave a legacy. I am challenging you. Let us
24 leave a legacy that will guide those who will come after us, after all this is our house. Let us
25 put it in order so that those who will follow our footsteps will find it in order. Let us be
26 united in our direction, let us all understand that we can all be one in the achievement of
27 our goals that we have set. It is not an easy task to amend, to change the 4 documents: the
28 Constitution and By-laws, the Code of Dental Ethics, the Republic Act 9484, and the
29 establishment of the Standard of Care. It is a challenge to all of us. It is not just a challenge
30 to the House of Delegates Officers but for each and every one of us who are here today. We
31 have prepared our committees; our Technical Working Group has laboured. I urge you to
32 keep an open mind, think not of your own personal interest, but for the good of the
33 Philippine Dental Association.

34 Tomorrow, we will break the whole group into 3 clusters. Here, we’ll be able to find a
35 cluster for you to go. It doesn’t mean that you will only stay with one cluster. We have set
36 aside 2 hours per cluster and we will rotate. The documents have been sent to you
37 electronically, it was “kinda” ambitious on our part to go electronic, but nowadays we
38 cannot afford to spend on paper printing and shipping these documents and it will be too
39 heavy for you to carry over here in Cebu in that way, long after you go back to your own
40 respective Chapters you will still have a copy and it can be forwarded to your respective
41 members.

42 Tomorrow, we will have an open meeting. That is why we invited you to bring your laptops,
43 your PD and we would just like to encourage everyone to refrain from going into social
44 networking. The PDA spent so much money to bring you here, if you have other business
45 we will understand but kindly step out from the session hall. We are here to legislate and
46 this is serious matter. Do not be offended if we find that you are working other ways and
47 you are using the networking instrument, we will kindly ask you to step out of the Session
48 Hall. It is not a joke, the committee have laboured so hard and with that I would like to
49 acknowledge our Technical Working Group, as well as the Officers, the appointed and
50 elected Officers of the House of Delegates to please rise. Those who have laboured to make
51 this, without you, thank you very much! Without the dedication of these men and women


1 who are here as your servant leaders, please let us treat each other the respect that we all
2 deserve. They are not your personal servants. We are one. We have the same calling and I
3 urge you if you have any concerns, let us not make a big fun out of it. You know things are
4 not perfect all the time as much as we are not also perfect.

5 And tomorrow on the very first hour, you will be broken into clusters. We will have one
6 cluster outside this hall, one cluster will stay here and the other cluster will stay in the
7 Mediterranean room. We have our Chairs; we have our facilitators, our consultants, and the
8 technical committee. During the plenary at the end of 6 hours you will convene, whatever
9 will be the output of the clusters we will present it in the plenary for the approval of the
10 body. So we urge you tonight if you have a chance to go over the documents that we have
11 e-mailed to you please find time to study them. We will ask you to put your opinion on
12 certain provisions of the Constitution that needs amendments. To save time, we will only
13 have limited discussions in the clusters to a few people. Everybody is welcome to put in
14 their contributions by writing your opinion or recommendation in the beta cards that you
15 will find in the cluster. Then the committees, the Technical Working Group will then
16 summarize it and present it in the plenary. If you have recommendations that were not
17 identified by the cluster, please you are still welcome to make your revision, but we also ask
18 you to respect the decision of the committee Chair if they think that your recommendations
19 are not as urgent as they would mean then, we thank you in advance for your kind
20 understanding!

21 And with that I would like to personally thank Ms. Joy Ong for the sacrifice, for quite
22 understanding, for the patience that she has extended to the working committees, and also
23 to different partners, Unilab, Westmont, Biomedis, Innovitelle, these are sponsors on
24 tomorrows Fellowship.

25 Tomorrow at the end of a long day, we will also party hard and enjoy with our Luau Retro
26 theme and with that ladies and gentlemen as I have said there is so much to say, but there
27 is not much time to say. Thank you and have a pleasant afternoon!


29 Thank you very much Madam Speaker. May we request to please remain on the center
30 stage and may we invite our PDA Dean Arturo De Leon to join the Speaker to award the
31 plaque to the PDA-HOD life members.


33 Our first awardee is the Immediate Past President of the PDA, Dr. Roberto M. Tajonera, Life
34 time member.


37 (Read the Plaque of the life time member to Dr. Roberto M. Tajonera). Congratulations, Dr.
38 Tajonera!


40 Our next awardee for Life Time Member is no other than our Immediate Past Speaker of the
41 House of Delegates, ladies and gentlemen, Col. Ramon Hebron.



2 (Read the Plaque of the life time member to Col. Ramon Hebron). Thank you and
3 congratulations again to Col. Ramon Hebron!


5 Our third award the Honorary Speaker Award, ladies and gentlemen, let us call in Dr. Primo
6 Gonzales to receive the award.


8 (Read the Plaque of the life time member to Dr. Primo Gonzales). We would like to call all
9 the Past Speakers of the House of Delegates to have a photo off with the new Honorary
10 Speaker of the House of Delegates. We thank once again Dr. Primo Gonzales, Honorary
11 Speaker of the House of Delegates.

12 Ok, as we now move on to the most important part of our Opening ceremony, may we call
13 on HOD Past Speaker, who incidentally is the first woman HOD Speaker, a round of
14 applause, ladies and gentlemen to Dr. Libertad Nolido who will do the honor of introducing
15 our Keynote Speaker.

16 DR. LIBERTAD NOLIDO:

17 Thank you, Dr. Precy! Good looking gentlemen and beautiful women dignitaries at the
18 presidential table and sub-presidential table. Past and Present Officers of both branches the
19 executive and the legislative of the Philippine Dental Association, fellow dentists, good
20 afternoon.

21 We request that today, we will have with us Cebu’s pride itself, the first woman governor
22 with 443 year history of the province of Cebu, Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia. She is in Manila with
23 some business, urgent business. However, she sent a representative who is equally as
24 dedicated government service worker as she is. He is a medical doctor, specializing in Ears,
25 Eyes, Nose and Throat, and likewise serving as a Board Member of the first district of the
26 province of Cebu, and who knows he might also become the governor himself? Only God
27 knows. Let’s put our hands together for Doctor, the Honorable Board Member, Dr. Sergio
28 Bacus Restauro.

29 HON. SERGIO B. RESTAURO:

30 Please sit down! To Dr. Libertad Nolido, thank you for that wonderful introduction. I
31 appreciate it very much. To Dr. Clarissa Jane Pe, and to Mr. Ramoncito O. Sta. Maria of the
32 United Laboratories, to incumbent PDA President of 2012, Dean Arturo De Leon, and to the
33 active officers and members of the House of Delegates, our participating dental
34 practitioners who came from the different provinces and cities, welcome and to other
35 friends, guests. Maayong hapon, sa inyong tanan!

36 At this very moment I am very thankful and flattered to have been asked to speak in this
37 momentous gathering in lieu of our beloved Governor, the Honorable Gwen F. Garcia, who
38 is currently undertaking a number of previous commitments, in line with her local functions
39 as responsible Chief Executive of the province of Cebu. Nevertheless, she is conveying her
40 great pride and honor for the reason that your prestigious organization chose to hold the


1 51st Philippine Dental Association, House of Delegates Mid-Year Session in our beloved
2 province. Remember, it is more fun in Cebu.

3 First of all, she wants to express her full support in this event and granted me this unique
4 opportunity to speak before you in her behalf. I would gladly say that I am overwhelmed
5 with so much joy and pleasure for I am speaking in front of very noble professionals, who
6 are very vigilant and have great concern in maintaining the present high professional
7 standard of dental profession, and it is always a practice that leadership will always be in
8 harmony with the persons concerned: the dental health providers both here and abroad.
9 Again I truly realize the fact that each one of you has temporarily left your family and work.
10 For some of you came here from very distant places. You came here not just because you
11 want to find or rekindle friendships, which for me is also a good intent, however, if you have
12 come for more noble cause that is to share each other experiences and expertise in order to
13 cope with the dental health care services in this country in a higher, if not in a highest level
14 of standard. I would also like to humbly state that I have also done my part as member of
15 the Sanguniang Panglalawigan in the province of Cebu concerning improvement and
16 upliftment of health care by passing legislations that I would someday listen to our people
17 particularly in maintaining good health services and facilities. Moreover, I continuously
18 advocate and fully support all the provisions and guidelines set forth by the Department of
19 Health in providing quality health care services for our fellow constituents. Incidentally,
20 aside from being member of the provincial board, this representation, also served as a
21 community Chairman of public health and social services in the province of Cebu. My
22 fervent wish is that due to our continuing efforts, the government and private sector will
23 come up with a long term plan, strategy and system that would create and join impact that
24 would deem not only the entire health provider but also its recipients as well. To all our
25 dear delegates and participants may you fully achieve what you have been expecting for
26 these three (3) days activities and I expect camaraderie within you to continue to flourish
27 and to reach for the highest standard in serving our people. All these will remain in your
28 hearts evermore. Lastly, I would like to commend all the men and women who have
29 contributed so much of their time and efforts in order to make this event possible and
30 successful one. I hope your stay in Cebu will be productive, pleasant and favourable one.
31 God bless us all, daghang salamat sa inyong tanan.


33 Thank you very much, Honourable Sergio Restauro for relating the message of the Governor
34 to all of us here today! Now we would like to request you to please occupy the center stage
35 and we would like to call our Speaker of the House of Delegates, as well as our PDA
36 President to award the Token of Appreciation for our Keynote Speaker. Thank you very
37 much, Hon. Sergio Restauro!

38 We would like to call the President of Mandaue Dental Chapter, Dr. Gina Amador to receive
39 the Plaque of Appreciation from the House of Delegates to Mandaue Dental Chapter. (Read
40 the Plaque of Appreciation)


41 Short reminders for tonight’s activity. After this, we will have a roll call and for tonight the
42 government of Cebu prepared a dinner for us at the Capitol Social Hall. So, please be ready!

15 Also present today we would like to acknowledge the 2 representatives from NADTI
16 National Association of Dental Technologists, may I recognize Dr. Makoto Kobayashi and

18 Dental Chapter that I missed calling your name during the roll call, but I was able to call it
19 back and I hope you understand for our shortcomings. And again thank you very much! We
20 are now done with the roll call, Madam Speaker.


22 Thank you very much, Dr. Amry! Mr. Floor Leader, what is the next item in the order of

27 we have 209 present, therefore Madam Speaker, we have a quorum.


29 Thank you very much, Mr. Floor Leader! With 227 accredited delegates, 209 are present. It
30 is my understanding that some of the delegates called to inform that there is poor weather
31 condition in their area which is preventing them from coming over while others have very
32 urgent personal reasons, so they will not be able to come. Mr. Floor Leader, what is the
33 next order of business?

34 DR. EMILIANO YUMANG (HOD Past Speaker/OD Agusan del Norte Chapter):

35 The next order of business is the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous

25 Question of Privilege.


27 What is your question of privilege?


29 We cannot memorize all those business for today, Madam Speaker, is it possible that we
30 have a copy so that we can follow up the sequence of the proceedings.


32 Your privilege motion Dr. Yumang is noted and we will direct now the Secretariat to please
33 furnish all the delegates with a copy of the agenda for the Mid-year Session. The Chair
34 would like to apologize for the late printing because there were last minute submissions of
35 resolutions; in fact the last resolution was dated only this morning, so we have to edit them.
36 So however, the Secretariat will provide everybody with the agenda in a few minutes. In the
37 meantime (interrupted by Dr. Arlissa Aguiluz)


39 Madam Chair, point of order.



2 Yes, delegate from Bulacan.


4 May we just furnish the Chapters and Affiliates who specifically request it, Madam Speaker
5 to save money on printing and other cost, Madam Speaker?


7 So noted delegate from Bulacan. The Chair now calls for a raise of hands who among our
8 delegates would like a printed copy of the Agenda. Just to remind you that the agenda was
9 actually e-mailed to you and also in the USB that will be distributed to you together with the
10 actual printed version. Sir, the Committee is distributing the USB, so because of these
11 changes in the agenda there is a slight delay in the distribution of the USB. Anyway, po the
12 purpose really is to approve the agenda for today, everything in the agenda is in the USB, it
13 is more of the general program. So shall we still have printed copy, kindly raise your
14 placards? Ok, so may I direct the Secretary to please prepare at least 20 and distribute or
15 claim. The Secretariat is directed to print and distribute to the delegates who wants to have
16 a printed copy of the agenda. In the meantime the Chair calls for the approval of the agenda
17 as presented. Yes, Endodontic Society.

18 DR. ROLANDO GONZALEZ (OD ESP):

19 I move for the approval of the agenda.


21 Motion presented to approve? Any second? Seconded General Dentistry, overwhelmingly
22 seconded. Thank you.

23 DR. ROLANDO GONZALEZ (OD ESP):

24 One more thing?


26 The Chair will have to rule before there will be any discussion. Ok duly seconded. Any
27 discussion on the approval of the agenda? Any objection? There being none, the agenda
28 presented is hereby approved. Delegate from Endodontic Society is that a privilege motion?
29 What is your motion, Sir?

30 DR. ROLANDO GONZALES (ENDODONTICS SOCIETY):

31 Since we have 6:00 o’clock dinner at the provincial hall, I move for adjournment at 5:00 or
32 5:30?


34 So there is a privilege motion to adjourn, the motion presented by our gentleman from
35 Endodontic is 5:00, I need to have a second to the motion so that we can discuss. Any


1 second? Seconded by Kaloocan and General Dentistry. Discussion? Motion to amend the
2 one that is being discussed, the time, yes delegate from Laguna.

3 DR. CORAZON FLORES (PDA VP Luzon-South/OD Laguna Chapter):

4 I would like to manifest my observation that PDA has given so much money to have this
5 session, can we please half of the resolution be discussed before adjournment. Is it possible
6 Madam Chair to please move the appointment at the provincial hall, the dinner; is it
7 possible, Madam Chair?


9 Thank you, delegate from Laguna, our invitation for dinner at the capitol social hall is at 7:00
10 o’clock, so we have to travel by bus, it is about 20 to 30 minutes given the traffic situation.
11 So if we move fast and shorten our interpolation then we can for sure cover a lot within one
12 hour, but that may mean that the delegates could not have to change to their casual attire
13 and as you are we will proceed to the capitol social hall. So shall we set the time? Can
14 anyone set a motion for amendment for the time that we can go on recess? Yes, delegate
15 from Bulacan.


17 Madam Speaker, I move to amend the time of recess up to around 6:15.


19 Any second to the motion as amended? Duly seconded. Any discussion? Objection? Hearing
20 none, the motion to have a recess at 6:15 is hereby approved. Mr. Floor Leader, what is the
21 next order of business?

22 The next order of business is the Adoption of House Rules by our HOD Secretariat, Dr. Amry
23 Jane Chavez.


25 Can we request the technicals to please flash the Adoption of House Rules and Madam
26 Secretary, you are directed to please read.

35 now request our Technical Working Group Chair, Dr. Arlissa Aguiluz to present the output of
36 the Technical Working Group that would be the need for the clusters for tomorrow?


38 Thank you, Madam Speaker and a pleasant good afternoon to all my fellow delegates here
39 in the HOD Mid-Year Session. I am very pleased and proud to be with you once again where
40 I really and truly believe I belong. I am extremely pleased to present to you the mechanism
41 behind the Technical Working Group. If I may familiarize you and go you through the


1 process by which we arrived at the TWG as it is properly called or as we are called by our
2 leader who actually envisioned and planned all of these thinkers with guts.

3 So the Technical Working Group was presented and approved as an AD hoc committee to
4 the Executive Board on January early this year. It is actually envisioned and a project of our
5 incumbent PDA President, Dr. Arturo De Leon, and his vision is to document and amend all
6 four (4) documents effective in our practice of profession and our PDA in general. Apat po
7 ang dokumento na kailangan natin na sunud-sunod at sabay-sabay na talakayin, sana ang
8 natirang mga oras at araw ay ating harapin kasama po dito ang Code of Ethics, ang Republic
9 Act 9484, ang ating PDA Constitution and By-laws, at ang hindi pa successful na natalakay na
10 Standard of Care and Guidelines to put into practice in dentistry.

11 Yours truly was very generously approved by the Executive Board as Chair of the TWG in
12 March of 2012. Among the objectives of our Technical Working Group Clusters as we call
13 them is to formulate the Standard of Practice or put into practice in dentistry or then we
14 call it the TGCD. This is headed by someone whom I am proud to admit as one of the rising
15 stars and icons of Philippine Dentistry particularly in the field of academe, my very own
16 dean at the UP College of Dentistry, Dean Vicente Medina III, Sir, please stand up to be
17 recognized.

18 Hindi ho naging madali ang pagtalakay ni Dean Medina sa Standard of Care. Alam naman
19 natin na ang SOC or Standard ay siyang pinakamabilis na pamantayan at pamamaraan para
20 tayo ay husgahan kung tayo man ay nasasakdal sa isang husgado, and yet noon ako po ay
21 inutusan ng ating President, Dr. Arturo De Leon na umattend ng Department of Health
22 meeting, ang unang una pong hiningi sa akin ng DOH ay nasaan na ang Standard of Care ng
23 Dentistry. Ako po ay halos manliit sa aking upuan noong meeting na iyon kaharap po ang
24 mga fields of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary med. At iba pang mga
25 allied na professions, lahat po sila ay may sinusundan na Standard of Care maliban po sa
26 ating propesyon. We claim to already to be in 100 years of dentistry in the Philippines ay
27 walang maipakita ni isang pahina kung ano ba ang ating mga pamantayan at parang bang
28 sinasabi ikaw ay isang magaling na dentista na tuloy na sumusunod sa mga serbisyo ng isang
29 mahusay na dentista, wala po tayo nito. Pinaki-usapan po natin si Dr. Vicente Medina
30 upang bumuo sa pamamagitan ng inyong tulong ng Standard of Care. Remember, the SOC
31 will not cater to the specialist, iyan po ang aking pinakadiin-diin ngayon pa lamang. Ang
32 ating SOC complete with guidelines in the practice of dentistry ay kailangan ng magtugon sa
33 mga pangangailangan ng general dentists. Ano ang dapat gawin ng isang general dentist
34 para masabi na safe ang kanyang practice of dentistry, iyon po ang tatalakayin niya sa
35 kanyang cluster.

36 Aside from our objectives to correct the provision of RA 9484 that are particularly
37 erroneous katulad ng mga term of office na hindi akma sa limang examiner, mga definition
38 of terms na kung titingnan natin ay hindi naman talaga tumutugon sa dapat na talakayin at
39 iba pa. Naiintindihan ko noon, noong ako ay naging Speaker of the House limang taon na po
40 ang nakalilipas na itong Dental Law ng 2007 ay biglang binagsak sa atin ng ating PRC at
41 humihingi ng Implementing Rules and Regulations. Wala naman po tayong nagawa noong
42 mga panahon na yon kung hind gumawa ng IFR sa pinakamainit at pinakamahusay na
43 paraan ng ating nakayanan, pero limang taon na po yon, that was five (5) long years ago and
44 who were our legal advisers then? One of them is, Sen. Joey Lina. Limang taon is limang
45 taon. We are now entitled to agitate as professional organization to change and amend RA
46 9484 and the Code of Ethics that includes if it no longer serves our needs particularly on the
47 issue of integration. Every single day that we are here, existing as accredited professional


1 organization we are not actually able to implement the full measure of the law to the intent
2 that is indebted. Bakit po? Hindi ho tayo talaga integrated number 1.

3 (2) Kaya ba natin to integrate di ba? So andito po ang ating mga kasamahan mula sa hanay
4 ng dental technologist pinangungunahan ni Dr. Makoto Obayashi. Sir, I wish to recognize
5 your group, can you please all stand up they are here as observers and participants. Ang
6 dami po nila sariling gastos po nila yan. Sila ay nandidito bilang commitment nila na
7 makipagisa, tagapagsundo sa ating mga dentist. Nangluluklok din ako at the same time,
8 Madam Speaker, kasi nadidiyan po tayong mga dentist at kahit andidiyan po ang grupo ng
9 dental technologist ay hindi pa din natin maiimplement ang RA 9484 in terms of integration
10 dahil wala ang mga dental hygienist. Dapat ho nating isipin mga kasama ko dito sa House
11 dapat talaga tayong mag-integrate? That question I will leave up to you. Remember, kami
12 pong mga cluster leaders ninyo ay hindi nandito para pilitin kayo na sumangayon sa ano
13 mang legend na aming ihaharap rather, we are your voice to the PDA and to the
14 government. You in turn as CD and OD should be voices of your Chapters and Affiliates
15 society. Do not take this task that we are about to do tomorrow very likely. If you do, I really
16 want tayo pa rin sa pancitan pag ito ay hindi natin naayos sa ating kagustuhan. This is our
17 chance now five (5) years otherwise, we will continue all in all that we are not implementing
18 the full measure of the law and PRC is already looking at us at why we are not able to do so.
19 We are not accepting any excuses or alibis for that matter.

20 Another objective is to add provisions that would benefit both public and accredited
21 profession organization of dentists. Ito yung tungkol sa mga new provisions, so kung wala
22 doon sa ihaharap namin sa inyo yung nasa isipan ninyo at nasa konsiyensya ninyo ay maaari
23 kayong magsalita, di ba? Sabi nga nung teacher at yung ating mga lecturers hindi kayo
24 nandito para mag-init ang inyong mga upuan, you are not bench warmers here. I wish that
25 you will open up your mind, your heart and your mouth in order to speak otherwise we
26 would not hear what you have to say. Wala namang maling opinion, ok lang ho kung hindi
27 kayo makapag English ng tama, who cares, it is the thought and the concept and the
28 substance and the thought that counts not the actual words that you use, but rather the
29 thought that you’ve said with sincerity, honesty and above all with integrity. Kalimutan
30 natin ang mga personal na motibo pagtayo ay nahahanap ng resolution kung maaari lang po
31 ito ang aking pakiusap.

32 To revise the Code of Ethics, yan din po ang kailangan nating harapin. Ano ba ang inyong
33 panukala tungkol sa advertising na yan. Sino naman ang nagsabi na ikaw ay nagte-
34 testimonial para sa isang dental product. Pag ikaw ba ay nanggamot at may nirecommend
35 sa inyo na brand na toothpaste na ito dahil sa inyong masugit na paniniwala ito ang the
36 best, yaon ho ba ay nagco-constitute ng testimonial and are you in fact being unethical?
37 Yaon po ang aking ibig sabihin na dapat siguro tingnan hindi lang naayon sa current 2012
38 definition of terms, kung ano ang ethical and kung ano ang unethical? Keep an open mind
39 about this.

40 Ito po ang sulyap kung papaano natin io-organisa ang ating Technical Working Group,
41 dalawa po ang aking hinahawakan diyan dahil iisa lang naman ho yung dokumentong yon.
42 Ang akin hong cluster is Standard of Care and Good Clinical Practice of Dentistry, na aking
43 nabanggit ay pinangungunahan ng aking dekanong UP College of Dentistry Dr. Vicente
44 Medina III, kung walang the Third hindi daw siya yon kaya kailangan bangitin yung the Third
45 and of course the Cluster PDA Constitutions and By-laws headed by an icon and a personal
46 idol of mine in Philippine Dentistry, Dr. Diampo Lim, please stand up. Kasama po ni Dean
47 Lim ang isang pang napakatunay nagtamo ng karangalan para sa ating Philippine Dental
48 Association ang unang PDA President na nakakamit ng Accredited Professional Organization


1 best award ang ating Dr. Jess Tumaneng. We are very honoured to be with us, Sir. Salamat
2 po sa inyo!

3 Ano ho ba ang ating mga stratehiya upang tayo ay makabuo ng ating dokumentong ito? 3C
4 ang ating gagawin (1) we must consult the proper stakeholders and that means identify who
5 the stakeholders are? Kasama at kabilang kayo diyan, kayong mga PDA members, you
6 represent your members from your Chapter from your area of practice, kasama ng ating
7 mga Affiliates dami, daming Affiliates. Ano ba ang inyong mga concerns? Try to voice out,
8 auxiliary, hygienist, and technologist and in my case in the Republic Act 9484, yes, I have to
9 consult the unlicensed dental graduates. Dahil sa kanilang hindi matapos tapos na hinagpis
10 tungkol sa refresher course na yan, so kasama po sila sa stakeholders for the Republic Act
11 9484.

12 The second scene, concur or not concur with the proposed amendments offered by each
13 participants. Ang bilin pong maigi ng ating Speaker of the House, do it with courtesy, hindi
14 po tayo kailangang magbastusan dito sa House of Delegates para lang maipadinig or para
15 lang maiparating ang inyong nais maparating, you can do so calmly, gently, using the right
16 words. Please let us observe professional courtesy with each other at all times.

17 And lastly, the House of Delegates must concur with all the amendments. This is the
18 particular power that is given to us by our Constitution and By-laws; no one can take it away
19 from us, tayo lang po ang pu-pwedeng magpalit ng Constitution and By-laws at pag nabuo
20 po natin ang SOC at saka ang amended RA 9484 tayo po ang magfo-forward nito sa ating
21 PRC. The Mid-year Session is only but one venue wherein we can do this. Sabi nga ng ating
22 Speaker matapos nating magcomment lahat ito ay ating iipunin at bubuuin at ilalagay sa
23 tamang anyo at ito ay ating isusumite sa ating Executive Board na siya namang maghahatid
24 sa PRC sa DOH at saka sa kinauukulang pang ahensiya ng gobyerno. Ang mga accredited
25 Affiliates natin, I asked you if you have time tonight please consult your members regarding
26 your declaration. If you want a particular concern especially in the Standard of Care, I
27 understand na kayo ay mga dalubhasa sa inyong mga siyensa, pero tandaan po natin yung
28 mga dental practitioners na hindi kasing dalubhasa ninyo, does not necessarily make them
29 bad dentists if they did not do the techniques that you do? If they did not use the same
30 equipment that you do, are they necessarily doing bad dentistry? So although almost all of
31 you are specialists, keep in mind, the Standard of Care is for the general practitioner. Diyan
32 ho natin aasahan ang ating mga ODs and CDs ng mga GT and if I present the PDA RGTs,
33 insist and demand for your rights and privilege. Magbaliktaktakan tayo dito malinaw at
34 maliwanag para sa ikabubuti ng lahat, and this will always subject, as the Speaker said, to
35 the usual debate and discussion during the House of Delegates. All our concerns will also be
36 published in our PDA website headed by our PDA Website Master Dr. Charlie Atienza. I
37 wonder if he has arrived here in Cebu City. He will be available as a reference person to our
38 Chapter and Affiliates ODs and CDs should we have any concern about posting on the PDA
39 website. Ok and that is it, that is all my report, Madam Speaker. Where is Madam Speaker?


41 Will the Speaker or the Deputy Protempore entertain? Speaker Protempore must entertain
42 my interpolation supposedly.


44 Thank you, Madam Speaker Protempore that ends my report.


1 DR. JOAN CARBONELL (HOD Speaker Protempore/OD Muntinlupa City):

2 Dr. Yumang?


4 My interpolation Madam Speaker Protempore, the Chairman just made mention at
5 tinanong kung payag ba tayong mag-integrate itong prinesenta kanina. I would just like to
6 ask the said Officer, the Chairperson, the approved resolution is way back in Fontana, May
7 29, 2011. Approved Resolution No. 8, Resolution bringing the Philippine Dental Association
8 to perform its insurgents, to perform its ministerial duty to integrate the National
9 Integrated Association of the duly licensed of the member of the Dental Technology and
10 Dental Hygienist Profession as mandated in Sec. 30 Republic Act 9484. That is why I don’t
11 know why the Chairperson is asking payag ba kayong i-integrate? It is mandated in that
12 Board Resolution, Madam Speaker Protempore.


14 May I answer the question Madam Speaker?


16 Yes, Madam Chair, please answer!


18 I think the question of the Former Speaker strikes the very core of why we are doing this at
19 all when he gently reminded me that there was indeed an approved resolution in the House
20 way back last year, exactly the concerns, Sir. It is time now to review, are we really able to
21 integrate? Because it is now time to take a look inside you and mentally exercise if we were
22 able to interpret the law or should the law be interpreted to serve us. Iyon lang po ang ating
23 question na itinatapon. I do not need to question the men of the House, the will of the
24 House has already been expressed, what I am saying this is our chance to amend the Dental
25 law. We do not have to sit still for another 5 years or 6 years before we agitate and move as
26 a body in order to demand the changes due to us as a professional. I hope I am quite clear.


28 Thank you, Madam Chair! Dr. Yumang?


30 Yes, to rebut.


32 Please proceed!


34 As I have said, it is mandated, ministerial duty, it is a notification for the PDA per the PRC’s
35 order and this has been right or wrong for us to do this, but the House or in Congress about
36 this. That is all Madam Speaker.



2 Thank you, Dr. Yumang! I think our Chair understands the point that is being raised by our
3 Past Speaker. Madam Chair, could you please continue the presentation or?


5 Madam Chair, I am done with the presentation.


7 Ok, Dr. Lim?

8 DR. DIAMPO LIM (PDA Past President/HOD Past Speaker):

9 Thank you, Madam Speaker. Just to answer the question of our good friend, Past Speaker,
10 Dr. Yumang. That is the reason why we are going to have a cluster for tomorrow. It is
11 because of the fact that we cannot do anything for the reason that the law states clearly
12 that the dental technologist and dental hygienist will be integrated with the Philippine
13 Dental Association, and so therefore, the reason why we are here is to find out how we will
14 be able to integrate them? The solution that we are going to find out, how to integrate
15 them? Are we going to integrate them in the same manner with that of the dental
16 profession or whatever it is? That is now the role of the clustering of the committee that is
17 initiated by the President of the Philippine Dental Association. Thank you, Madam
18 Chairman!


20 Thank you very much, Dr. Lim! Now that the Chair has presented how the Technical
21 Working Group was created and what it aim to achieve during this Mid-year Session, I
22 would like to solicit for the acceptance of the presentation of our Technical Working Group
23 Chair. Yes, General Dentistry.

24 DR. MELINDA GONZALEZ (OD PAGD):

25 I move for the acceptance of the report of our Chairman. Thank you!

35 presented by our Technical Working Group Chair? Yes Kalookan City.

36 DR. ARIEL GO (OD Kalookan City Chapter):

37 Madam Chair, point of information lang, can I address to the Former Speaker?



2 Please proceed!


4 Ma’am, you mentioned a while ago regarding the implementing rules and regulations the
5 House did sometime in 2007. Could there be a possibility na maretrieve natin yung file na
6 yon? Kasi, I think we’ve worked for that for 3 to 4 days. The implementing rules that was
7 not accepted by the PRC. I think during that time, ma’am, we imposed on it how to accredit
8 and how to integrate the 2 other organizations in our organization.


10 May I answer Madam Speaker the delegate?


12 Yes, Madam Chair you may.


14 Yes, I remember the IRR and I remember that both of us worked very hard on it. Thank you,
15 Sir! I still have to thank you after all these years. I would try my best to look for my files, Sir
16 or the then House Secretary, Thea Peralta, but please be informed that since 2007 I have
17 undergone several floodings already in Bulacan particularly Ondoy and Habagat. I will do my
18 best to retrieve the file. I hope you can try to retrieve yours and perhaps we can sit together
19 and try to work out, but that is a pleasant problem Mr. Delegate, our task really is to go
20 through the entire Republic Act, the existing law as is, correct what is needed to be
21 corrected and you know that there are a lot to be corrected. Yung mga nanggagalaiti sa
22 inis, sa kamalian ng dental law na ito, now is your chance, speak out please and we will all
23 do our best.


25 Thank you, Madam Chair! Any objection to the report of the Technical Working Group as
26 presented? Hearing none, the report of the Technical Working Group Chair is hereby
27 approved. Mr. Floor Leader, what is the next business of the day?


29 The next order of business is A.2 Confirmation of the Third Member of the Comelec.


31 Madam Secretary, please read the Executive Board Resolution, rather, Mr. Floor Leader

29 Thank you, Mr. Floor Leader! The Chair now calls for any objection to the appointment of
30 the Third Member of the Comelec Dr. Ramon M. Hebron. Objection? It should be
31 discussion. The Chair calls for a discussion? Kalookan City.


33 Ma’am, I am not against the appointment of Dr. Ramon Hebron, but my question with
34 regards to the customary of the appointment. As we all know Dr. Ramon Hebron is the
35 Immediate Past Speaker, and eventual Immediate Adviser of the Speaker of the House,
36 come April he will seat as Third Member of the Comelec and at the same time Advisory
37 Board of the House. Second, he is going to be a member of the Council of Past Speakers
38 may be in 3 years’ time, he is going to be the Chairman of the Comelec and at the same
39 time Chairman of Council of Past Speakers just probably, so where will Dr. Ramon Hebron


1 stand? Is he going to be an administrative interpreter or Comelec member? That is all
2 Madam Speaker.


4 Thank you very much, Dr. Ariel Go! The Chair would like to seek the opinion of the
5 Parliamentarian of this issue that has just been raised.

6 DR. LUIS UY (HOD Parliamentarian):

7 Thank you, Madam Speaker! I think there is no problem being an adviser, he can always ask
8 somebody to do the job, Dr. Hebron and we do not even know that Dr. Ramon Hebron
9 would be the Chairman of the Council of Past Speakers. I think there is no problem with
10 that.


12 May I remind the body that Dr. Hebron’s position as Adviser is appointive in nature and not
13 elective position. So, thank you very much for that concern. Any more discussion on the
14 conferment of the position as Third Member of the Comelec, Dr. Yumang?


16 As to my desire to make it clear for our young delegates it is not appointed, it is embodied
17 in the Constitution that automatically the Speaker becomes the Adviser of the House
18 particularly these people, so you need not appoint him, but it is embodied to make it clear
19 for everybody especially the young delegates that it is embodied in the Constitution and By-
20 laws House of Delegates that the immediate Past Speaker automatically will be the Adviser
21 of the House of Delegates.


23 Thank you very much, Dr. Yumang! I stand corrected on that matter. So any more
24 discussion, last discussant? The Chair now calls for any objection to the conferment of Dr.
25 Ramon Hebron as Third Member? Hearing none, Dr. Ramon N. Hebron is hereby appointed
26 as Third Member of the Comelec. May we request Dr. Hebron to please come forward? May
27 we call on our President Dean Turing to please come forward for the induction of our Third
28 Member of the Comelec?

29 DR. ARTURO DE LEON (PDA President):

30 Madam Speaker, before the august body of the House of Delegate, as part of my ministerial
31 duty I would like to officially administer the oath of office. May we request the member of
32 the House to please rise as we administer the Oath of Office for Dr . Ramon Hebron? Please
33 raise your right hand and repeat after me. (Citing the Oath of Office).


35 Thank you very much, Mr. President and again congratulations to our new Third Member of
36 the Comelec Dr. Ramon N. Hebron. Mr. Floor Leader, what is the next calendar of business?
37 Ok, can we ask our Third Member Dr. Ramon Hebron to please come forward and say a few
38 words?


1 COL RAMON N HEBRON:

2 Madam Speaker of the House of Delegates, our parliamentarian, all members of the House
3 of Delegates, magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat. Wala po akong masasabi kung hindi
4 maraming salamat sa inyong pagtitiwala pagkat ito po ang ating tahanan na aking pong
5 iniwanang salita, ang salitang integridad or integrity, service, teamwork, excellence and
6 professionalism which will serves as my battle ground in every move. With this as Third
7 Member I would say Ito rin po ang aking gagawin para sa kaunlaran ng Philippine Dental
8 Association. Maraming salamat po at mabuhay House of Delegates.


10 Thank you very much, Dr. Hebron! Mr. Floor Leader, what is the next calendar of business?


12 The next calendar of business is B-Clustering. So this will be for tomorrow.


14 Mr. Floor Leader, we still have 45 minutes, so we cover as much as we can until the
15 designated time to go for dinner. We have deferred the clustering for tomorrow morning,
16 so we will skip Letter B calendar of business, but we will proceed to the next order of
17 business? Unfinished business, so what is the next order of business, Mr. Floor Leader?


19 The next order of business is unfinished business, Treasurer’s report of the PDA Treasurer
20 Dr. Iraida de Leon.


22 May the Chair asks our Treasurer if she is ready to present her report as requested? May I
23 remind the delegates that in the minutes of the Annual Session, page 36, line 1 to 10,
24 Annual Session First Plenary, the report of the Treasurer from January up to September of
25 2011 was accepted and approved, however, she was directed to present the last quarter of
26 the report covering the period October to December of 2011. So, we would like to call on
27 our Treasurer, Dr. Iraida. In the meantime, the Chair would like to call for a 5 minutes break
28 to give time for our Treasurer to prepare her report.

29 5 MINUTES RECESS


31 The Treasurer is now ready to present the last quarter report. The Chair would like to
32 acknowledge the fact that our Treasurer made a sacrifice to be here for this. She was
33 supposed to stay behind because her daughter is in the hospital with dengue, but because
34 of her obligation and duty, dental duty our Treasurer is here to present her report and with
35 that I would like to say thank you very much, Dr. Iraida! So we will now proceed with the
36 last quarter report.
