FOREWORD
The conception of the Quezon City Medical Society Manual of Procedures is long overdue for an
organization with a rich history. As the biggest component society of the Philippine Medical Association,
its ranks has contributed immensely to its breadth of work and achievements. The society takes pride in
the compilation of all its vital documents, from the mission/vision, constitution and by-laws, and the
various administrative codes which were painstakingly developed through the years of its existence. This
module was developed to guide a society with a luminous past, a formidable present and a promising
future. As all these were products of hard work and the sheer love of its past and current officers, the
module will serve the purpose of being its heart and soul. Though the module is time-tested, it remains to
be a work in progress, and hopes to be polished by the wisdom of its members.

MESSAGE
My warmest greetings and congratulations to all Quezon City Medical Society Officers and
Members!
It is with distinct honor and pleasure that I write this Prefatory Note for your Society's
Administrative Code Manual.
Through this Administrative Code Manual your members will know and understand the
organizational structure of the Quezon City Medical Society (QCMS) and the Philippine
Medical Association (PMA) so that the operational relationships of the various Chapters of the
QCMS can be strengthened. Furthermore, a knowledge of the rules and procedures at the QCMS
will redound to better and more efficient conduct of its activities and business at the local level.
Leadership is something that cannot be imposed on anyone, it comes innately as we step into our
God-given roles. We will never really know our strengths unless we push our limits and
challenge ourselves to do greater things. Carry on with your programs of attracting more
members to be part of your Component Society. Remember to strengthen the organization from
within even as it continues to hurdle challenges from outside. Rest assured, that the PMA as the
umbrella organization of all medical organizations in the Philippines, shall be behind you and
support you in all your worthy undertakings.
To your competent, selfless and committed leaders, continue providing the direction for the
organization and I wish you all have a very successful year ahead.
Mabuhay ang PMA! Mabuhay ang QCMS!

MESSAGE
The Quezon City Medical Society rejoices in the realization of this breakthrough project, the
QCMS Administrative Code, which compiles the vital administrative codes developed through
the years, as well as the mission/vision and constitution and by-laws which guides the operations
of the organization. As the "Bible" of the society, it is envisioned to guide future leaders amongst
its members.
In behalf of the Committee on the Administrative Code, I would like to congratulate Dr.
Wilfredo Tagle, President of the Quezon City Medical Society 2014-2015,and the incumbent
Board for making this possible. This project immortalizes the very foundation of the society, and
will be a legacy to the future members and officers. Each code has been carefully traced to its
roots, to properly recognize their proponents, as credit is also due them for their contributions.
Finally, hats off to United Laboratories for forging this historical partnership with us.
Omnia in bonum.

UNILAB extends its warmest greetings to the Quezon City Medical Society.
Your continued quest for excellence speaks well of how good leadership works for an
organization. This is reflected in your effort to initiate certain revisions in your existing
administrative codes. We all recognize that, indeed, some changes needed to be pushed to
address the call of the times, in order to be consistent with specific guidelines governing the
society’s existence.
As the new Administrative Order outlining the professional relationship between the
pharmaceutical entities and the medical practitioners is slowly coming into fruition, there is no
better time than now, to really come up with our own individual administrative codes perfectly aligned with global health care standards. And this should come in the form of continuing
medical education, and professional development
As your partner, Unilab will continue to support your goal of uplifting the practice of medicine
and giving the best health care possible to all Filipino patients.
Congratulations, and good luck on your new set of administrative codes.

Section 8. All Projects and Donations must be duly approved by the Board. Any
proposed project or donation should follow the above steps before forging

ARTICLE IV
PRIORITIES
Although both projects and donations have laudable intentions since they will benefit those
in need, funds however of the Society still has to be spent wisely. The main reason is that the
Quezon City Medical Society is a non-profit service organization sourcing the bulk of its funds
mainly from member’s dues and, therefore, inherently limited.
Section 1. Project has a higher priority. The Board through the involved Committee
has control over the project and can account for all the expenses that will be
incurred
Section 2. Donation has a lesser priority. Although the Board is accountable to all
members of the QCMS for all disbursements , cash donations, in general,
cannot be accounted for to the last centavo once it is given to the recipient.
ARTICLE V
RESPONSIBILITY
All projects and donations are in the name of the Quezon City Medical Society
and their implementation is the responsibility of the Board.

Implementing Rules and Regulations on the Conduct of Election of
Officers of the PMA National and Component Society
The Local Component and National Election of the Officers of the PMA shall be supervised by
the QCMS Committee on Elections duly appointed specifically for this purpose by the QCMS
Executive Board.
1. Composition of QCMS Committee of Elections: The Committee shall be composed of a
Chairman and with at least two (2) committee members . All committee members must be
active or emeritus members of QCMS and must not be a candidate in an elective position
during the current election. The Chairman may designate deputies (medics or non medics)
at most three (3) to assist the committee in distributing official ballots to qualified voters in
the official voters’ list , securing the ballot boxes, counting and tallying the votes until final
results are written and submitted to the PMA National Commission on Election.
2. The Chairman and committee members of the Committee on Elections shall act and decide
independently without bias nor prejudice to any elected PMA official nor any candidate
seeking to be elected in the current election.
3. The QCMS Committee on Elections shall follow written rules and regulations of the PMA
National Commission on Elections. It may draft rules and guidelines to conduct the election
but must be guided and not contradict rules of the PMA Commission on Elections. The
drafted rules on the conduct of the election must be approved by the QCMS Executive Board
yearly and maybe revised depending on situation in the current year.
4. Conduct of Election:
a. The QCMS executive board shall provide a safe, secure and adequately sized venue for
the election
b. The Chairman shall open the doors of the election venue at 8 am and close the voting
poll at exactly 5pm of the same day.
c. The election venue must have a registration table at or near the entrance door.
Registration table must be manned by designated deputies and a Committee on Election
Member. The registration table shall have the ledger of the official list of Registered and
Qualified voters as provided for by the PMA Commission on Election.
Only voters whose name is on the official PMA voters’ list shall be given an official
ballot to the PMA National as well as QCMS election to fill out his vote. The voter
signs the ledger to confirm he/she received an official ballot and prevent duplication of
voting by same person.
d. The election venue must have a poster (s) of official list of Candidates on the front wall
and sides to assist voters in voting.
Venue must have adequate tables and chairs for the voters to sit comfortably and fill out
his ballot . The voting area shall be free of onlookers and must allow only the voter to
go in the voting area to vote independently without coercion by anybody. On special
cases the Chairman may allow a relative or a personal assistant to accompany a voter to
the polling place if he/she is a person with disability.
45
The Committee Chairman may allow an official “watcher” of any candidate to briefly
enter the voting area to check the free conduct of voting. Once the voting starts, the
watcher or supporter of any candidate must wait more than 50 feet from the Registration
table and voting area. The supporters of candidates are not allowed to distribute sample
ballots or election campaign paraphernalia within a 50 feet radius of the voting area.
After completing his vote the voter folds the ballots and places the ballots in official
ballot boxes respectively marked PMA National and Local Component. He then exits the
voting place through designated exit door.
5. Contesting non registered voter. Only doctors whose names are listed in the official PMA
voters’ list will be allowed to vote in the PMA National election. If a doctor contests his not
being registered or disqualification to vote during current elections, he is directed to the PMA
Secretariat for clarification. If the PMA secretariat confirms it was their fault and an error in
the listing, unlisted member may be given a ballot to vote only if there is written approval
by the Chairman of the PMA Commission on Elections. In the absence of a written approval
of the PMA Chairman his ballot will be put inside a secured box of questionable votes to be
submitted later to the Chairman of PMA Commission on Elections for final decision if it is to
be counted.
Voter not in the official PMA list but is determined by QCMS secretariat to be an updated
active member of QCMS will be allowed to vote and be counted for the local component
society election.
6. Candidates and watchers: A PMA National candidate and a QCMS local candidate may
appoint up to two official watchers each. This is done through an official request form filed
at the QCMS Secretariat up to 1 hour prior to the start of the elections.
Only one watcher at a time may be allowed by the QCMS Comelec chairman to
briefly enter the voting area to inspect the holding of a free election. After election
has started no new watcher may be appointed.
Only one watcher may be allowed to sit behind the Comelec member(s) during the
actual tallying of the votes to verify actual names of candidates voted for in the ballot.
Same watcher may call attention of the Comelec Chairman to clarify a ballot or vote.
Watcher may not unnecessarily delay the counting and if watcher does not accept the
Chairman’s answer to a clarificatory question the watcher may put into writing his
objection and submit the same to the Committee on Election within an hour after final
votes are counted and tallied.
Watcher is not allowed to distribute campaign paraphernalia within the voting area
but may do so 50 feet radius away from the polling booths. Officially designated
watchers are not allowed to assist or volunteer to help a voter with disability in filling
out his ballot.
46
Official watchers are not entitled to be given copy of the official election return.
Watcher may make his personal copy and the Comelec Chairman may agree to
countersign the copy as correct and truthful.
Candidates in the current elections may only be allowed to enter the area to vote.
After casting his vote the candidate is not allowed within a 50 feet radius of the
polling area until after the election is declared closed.
7. End of Elections. The Chairman shall declare the closing of the election at 5 pm of election
day. Late voters within a 50 feet radius from the registration table may still be allowed to
vote beyond closing time.
8. Tallying of Votes shall start within 45 minutes after the Comelec Chairman declares the
election closed. The Comelec members shall open the ballot boxes in full view of the public
and the deputies may assist in the canvassing/counting of the votes. Official watchers may
sit behind the canvassers but are not allowed to handle the ballots boxes nor ballots.
9. The official tally of votes shall be written in triplicates and each page duly signed by the
Chairman and members of the Committee on Elections. This official document must be
sealed and submitted to the PMA National Commission on Elections within 24 hours after
