Message from the President

To my dear PDA Members, Partners, and Friends,

Warm greetings!

On June 1, 2026, we began a new chapter in the history of the Philippine Dental Association as we officially embarked on the PDA Batch Hiraya Administrative Year 2026-2027.

Guided by our theme, "PDA: Empowered - Empowered to Lead, Empowered to Serve," we move forward with renewed purpose, stronger unity, and a shared commitment to our profession and to the communities we serve.

Empowerment is more than a theme-it is a call to action. It challenges each of us to become leaders within our own spheres of influence, to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, and to serve with compassion, integrity, and excellence.

The future of our Association does not depend on one leader alone. It depends on all of us working together with one vision, one purpose, and one unwavering commitment to the advancement of dentistry and the welfare of the Filipino people.

To all PDA officers, chapter, affiliate, and IPO leaders and members, as well as our valued industry partners, I invite you to join us in making this a meaningful, productive, and transformative year, Together, let us strengthen our Association, elevate our profession, and create a lasting impact on the oral health and well-being of our nation.

Let us move forward with compassion in our hearts, excellence in our profession, and service above self. Let us embrace the opportunities before us and inspire one another to become empowered leaders and dedicated servants of our communities.

Thank you for your trust, support, and dedication to the PDA. Let us work hand in hand as one empowered Association-ready to lead, ready to serve, and ready to shape a brighter future for Philippine dentistry.

Maraming, maraming, maraming salamat po!

With every best wish, I remain,
