B. THE CONFERMENT EXERCISE CHAOS:

- Dra. Daisy Camitan is the overall chairperson of the 13th Annual Convention and she is the best person to handle the job for she had previous tract record of handling successful conventions of PACDI (Philippine Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology). She is a very responsible person because since day 1 (January 1, 2007), she had been very busy calling and attending meeting by the BOT and the regular meetings of her committee and subcommittees. The Conferment Exercise was delegated to an equally dynamic tandem of Dra. Condrada Apostol and Dr. Leonardo Abogado. Together this trio had been preparing for our conferment ceremony since day 1, they even hired an event coordinator so that it will be assured that the exercise will be a solemn and memorable event for the Diplomate and Fellow conferees. But alas……………Lightning struck because on the 13th day of the 11th month of 2007 during the 13th Annual Convention, the Shouting Lady suddenly transformed herself to a Commanding Lady taking charge of everything that happened in that Event. That Lady is Dra. April Punzalan, the wife of Dr. Elmer Punzalan (a new comer in the BOT but with a tract record at GSIS) and she’s not even a member of the Annual Convention Committee or any subcommittees of that body. Without any warning, without any permission from the organizing committee, without batting an eyelash, guilt or shame, she suddenly changed the program of the Conferment Ceremony. She changed the sitting arrangement of the Honorary Fellows headed by;

1. Dr. Vinzon Pineda (Pioneer in The Discipline in Dermatology)

2. Dr. Lakandula Elayda (Pioneer in Dermatology in the Philippines)

3. Dr. Corazon Jose Collantes (Pioneer in Cosmetic Surgery in the Philippines)

4. Dr. Nicasio Salang (President of the International College of Surgery)

- What is worst is that during the actual ceremony she asked them to leave their seats at the center stage and commanded them to sit at the lower ground thereby subjecting our Honorary Fellows to undue humiliation.

- Where did she get her courage to perform such unethical acts? Is she authorized to do these? On whose authority? What is the motive? If these questions cannot be answered, the most plausible answer is that “she just went crazy”. However most of the organizers and some people in the inner circle believe that there are answers to these questions and the Conferment Chaos was well planned and deliberate with the blessing of the current leadership.

- The “Inspirational Speech” as previously agreed upon by the organizers and the Presidents’ President, Dr. Rene Catan, should have been delivered by our Founder, Dr. Nestor Pasamba, but Lo and Behold upon the intercession of the Shouting Lady, someone else delivered the inspirational talk. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THEY CHANGED THE PROGRAM!

WHY? The answer is…!#@!$##&^%*&^(&(^*&%%$%$#%$#&%^$*&^$#%$
