Goong Restaurant Meeting October 13, 2008

Last October 13, 2007, while the Presidents’ President is busy presenting his Powerpoint propaganda report to the Local Chapter Presidents (Presidents’ President Meeting Part II), there was another group of PAMS officers meeting at a nearby restaurant (Goong Restaurant-Tomas Morato St.), and it was the 1st attempt of some concerned BOT members to call for a regular meeting since it was last convened on May 2007 (5 months w/o BOT meetings). Those who attended the meeting were:

1. Dr. Nestor Pasamba- PAMS Founder

2. Dr. Wilfredo Tagle- Council of Adviser

3. Dr. Miguel Ocampo- Council of Adviser

4. Dr. Fresco Yapendon- BOT & Execom member (Secretary General-Vice-President).

5. Dr. Nicanor Escutin- BOT & Execom member (Treasurer)

6. Dr. William Dy- BOT & Execom member (Ex-Officio)

7. Dr. Daisy Camitan- BOT member, Overall Chairperson of the 13th Annual Convention

8. Dr. Danilo Vergara- BOT member

9. Dr. June Camitan- Chancellor in the Discipline of Community & Preventive Medicine

All of the BOTs were invited, some were not able to come due to their own valid reasons but some were not able to come because they were told that only the President of PAMS has the right to call a BOT meeting. The meeting was called “Joint Consultative Meeting of the BOT with the COA”, the presiding officer was Dr. Fresco Yapendon and the Agenda were;

A. Crisis of Miscommunication

1) Unruly conduct of previous BOT meetings

2) No regular BOT meeting since May 2007

3) No coordination of activities between President and BOT

4) Unethical and unprofessional conducts by some BOT members being tolerated by the President.

B. Malversation / Mismanagement of fund

1) Unethical and unprofessional conducts being committed by some Execom officers.

2) Excessive utilization of fund for political purposes (Powerpoint Propaganda Presentation & Presidents’ President Meetings) without prior approval from the Board of Trustees.

C. Demoralization of some Annual Convention Organizer

1) Egocentric style of management by the President

2) Uncertainties created by the President himself.

a) Schedule of Annual General Assembly Election for BOT

b) Guest Speaker to deliver the Inspirational Speech during the Conferment Exercise.

**The meeting adjourned without making any resolutions but agreed to meet again the following week. As a result the Presidents’ President preempted the move and was forced to call a formal emergency meeting of the BOT on October 20, 2007. The conduct of the meeting was videotaped and it will be available SOON on our new Television Station www.pams.tv!
