September 12, 2009 Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Thank you for attending tonight’s induction of the new set of APPM officers for 2009-2011. It was the late Dr. Cesar Castillo who introduced me and my wife Myrna to the APPM. He was our at-tending physician when we were resi-dents at St. Agnes Hospital. He was very kind to us and treated us as his colleagues and not as residents. We were initially hesitant to join as we were busy with our residency and did not know anyone at APPM at that time. As we got to meet the members of the organi-zation thru the years we found out that this is a group of Filipino doctors in Maryland who enjoyed each other’s company . These were physicians who were dedicated to their profession and yet had compassion for their countrymen or kababayans as we volunteered for the annual medical mission during the Filipino festival at Tow-son every year and other local medical missions. We have enjoyed the annual continuing medical education lecture series and the an-nual crab feasts held to entice younger Filipino physicians to join the organization. I would like to thank my predecessors for paving the way for me. Dr. Pio Valle, immediate past president, Dr. Larry Yap for initiating moves to invite younger physicians to join us. I would like to thank Dr. Bienvenido Veneracion for working behind the scenes to ensure a smooth transition of officers and Dr. Sergio Mateo for agreeing to be president elect. I intend to continue to encourage younger physi-cians to join us and keep their interest for the future of the organi-zation belongs to them. Our continued success is dependent upon participation and con-tinued support from everyone in all APPM activities. Sincerely.

Dear colleagues and friends,

Welcome! It warms my heart

to see you come and witness

another changing of the guard

in the existence of the Association

of Philippine Physicians in

Maryland . Thank you all very

much. It also gives me joy to

know that my term on the helm

of the APPM is about to end, but I am happier that the future of

APPM is secure for the near future knowing that very capable peo-

ple, in the persons of Dr. Renato Flores and Dr. Sergio Mateo, are

lined up to keep the torch burning for the APPM, following a line of

leadership that started in 1981.

I am not here to extol the accomplishments in the past two years. It

will suffice to say that in spite of all the recent dire economic down-

turn and the all but dried up pharmaceutical company sponsorships,

we were able to continue and present to the membership the usual

fare of educational and social activities that were widely participated

in, mostly at minimal or nominal cost, and at times, at no cost to the

members.

To all the incoming officers, I wish you all well. There is still much

left to do. With the current health reform debate going on, there is a

lot of uncertainty facing the medical profession that will surely affect

the APPM, making it all the more important for you, and all of us,

to be more vigilant and be proactive. May your stints be fruitful and

fulfilling.

Lastly, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the people

who helped me during my term. Many thanks!

Sincerely,

Pio G. Valle, Jr., M.D.

GREETINGS TO ALL

Congratulations to

the APPM Officers!

Dancing can be magical and transform-ing. It can breathe new life into a tired soul; make a spirit soar; unleash locked-away creativity; unite generations and cultures; inspire new romances or rekin-dle old ones; trigger long-forgotten memories; and turn sadness into joy, if only during the dance.
