QCMS Hymn

May bagong pag-asang naa-aninag

Sa kabila ng madilim na magdamag

Bagong umagang maaliwalas

Na dulot ay saya at galak

Papurihan ang QUEZON CITY MEDICAL SOCIETY

Hangad nito’y kalusugan ng marami

Kaagapay ng bayan sa pag-unlad

Kasaping manggagamot sa tungkulin ay tapat

Hindi alintana ang pagod at hirap

Ulanin man o arawin, puyat sa magdamag

Tuloy tuloy pa rin ang paglingap

Kahit sino man ang kadaupang palad

Greetings from the Philippine Medical Association! I am pleased to convey my salutations to the officers and members of the Quezon City Medical Society on the occasion of your 34th Annual Convention and Induction Ceremonies of New Officers at Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila on June 21 to 22, 2018. Increasing emphasis on technical progress, evidence-based medicine, and efficiency targets limit the physicians’ ability to connect with their patients. The convention theme: “Facetime with the Experts,” will focus on the humane aspect of patient care, referred to as “humanization of medical care.” This involves not only technical expertise and skilled treatment but also listening to the patient and explaining the management options at every step of the treatment pathway. As we rise to the challenge of keeping pace with medical advances, we cannot afford to lose sight of the art of healing --- an age-old tradition that connects the physician and the patient in a special bond of trust. This convention aims to strike a balance between scientific-technical knowhow and the psychosocial aspect of patient care. We look forward to the collaboration of the Quezon City Medical Society (QCMS) and the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) in providing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs to uplift the standard of medical practice in our country. On behalf of the PMA National Officers and Board of Governors, let me extend to all of you my congratulations to the organizing committee and my best wishes for a fruitful discussion and a successful convention.

Quezon City Medical Society

It is with tremendous pleasure that I am congratulating the Organizing Committee and the Executive Board in coming up with this 34th Annual Convention theme “Facetime with the Experts”, June 21-22, 2018 at Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila.

I assure you that you will enjoy and will never regret and be proud that you are a member of the most active component society of PMA, Quezon City Medical Society.

I hope this gathering will establish also closer camaraderie among members and regain friend-ship and find new acquaintances.

Foremost, I praise and thank our Almighty God for His guidance that makes this convention fully successful.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE QUEZON CITY MEDICAL SOCIETY

(1950 – 2018)

The colourful history of QCMS began way back in 1950 when Dr. Petronilo Monsod, Dr. Demetrio Crispo Lacuna and Dr. Felipe Perez Arenas met at Max Restaurant Quezon City and organized what is known now as “The Quezon City Medical Society”. There were 37 doctors from the different hospitals of Quezon City.

The inauguration of the Society and induction of officers was held on July 22, 1950 at the Socoro Hall of the Quezon Institute. Dr. Petronio G. Monsod was inducted as the first President by Dr. Rodolfo Gonzales, the President of the Philippine Medical Association.

The 1st Regional Convention of the PMA held in Davao City in 1951 was attended by members of the QCMS. The first PMA Convention to be held in this city (Quezon City) was on May 1958 at the Ateneo Grade School Loyola Heights in which the QCMS was host.

Since, there was no permanent office for the QCMS, Board Meetings were held in different places in Quezon City like Mt. Banawe Hospital, UDMC, V. Luna Hospital depending on who the elected president was.

Auxiliary to the QCMS was organized in 1965 and the first President was Mrs. Purita David.

The Society takes pride in having 8 PMA President coming from the QCMS namely: Dr. Pedro Mayuga 1960-61, Dr. Jesus Tamesis 1963-64, Dr. Jose Denoga 1965-66, Dr. Fe del Mundo 1969-70, Dr. Jose Pujalte 1985-86, Dr. Concordia Pascual 1994-95, Dr. Gil Fernandez 2001-2003 and Dr. Rey Melchor Santos 2008-2010.

On January 10, 1970 a Contract of Lease for an office space at the PMA Auditorium was signed allowing the QCMS to hold office there for 10 years for a fee of P10,000. This was negotiated by Dr. Elpidio C. Panganiban, QCMS President (1969-1970) and by Dra. Fe Del Mundo, PMA President (1969-1970).

On May 19, 1986, a Contract of Lease of the present office of the QCMS in the New PMA Building for a period of 99 years for an initial sum of P100,000 excluding the monthly rental was signed by Dr. Jose Pujalte and Dr. Jesus de Jesus of the QCMS Building Committee then. Activities included community development and civic action; continuing medical education program: socials, fellowship and sports development program and support to the Bukal ng Pagasa Day Care Center at West Riverside SFDM.

The QCMS used to be a component society under the Central Tagalog Region of the PMA which included Caloocan Medical Society, Pasay-Paranaque Medical Society and Valenzuela Medical Society. The first PMA Governor for the Central Tagalog Region was Dr. Jesus de Jesus. Previously the region was represented by a Councilor. With its desire to be able to involve as many members as possible in the activities of the society, Dr. Benjamin Tamesis QCMS President 1975-1976 subdivided the Quezon City Medical Society into four districts following the political districts I, II, III and IV with a district councilor for each.

The following were significant events during the 1980’s: 1. The 1st Annual Convention of the Quezon City Medical Society was organized under the Presidency of

Dr. Jesus de Jesus with Dr. Juliet Santos as Overall Chairman and was held at Garden Hotel, Makati Metro Manila on June 14, 1985.

2. On May 19, 1986, a Contract of Lease of the present office of the QCMS in the new PMA Building was signed by Dr. Jose Pujalte, PMA President at that time and Dr. Jesus de Jesus Chairman of the QCMS Building Committee.

A great change came about in the 5th decade 1991-2000 since the founding of the QCMS. This was the ushering of the computer age in our area. The society acquired a computer to systematize the vast records of the membership.

The QCMS became a member of the Local Health Board of the Quezon City government. In 1995 under the Presidency of Dr. Rey Melchor Santos, the bid of the Quezon City Medical Society to become a separate PMA Region was successful and was ratified by the PMA House of Delegates. Dr. Santos became the first PMA Governor for the Quezon City Region.

In 1996 under the Presidency of Dr. Milagros Encarnacion the Benefit and Assistance Fund was created to give welfare benefits to our members in the form of Disability Benefit, Death Benefit and Legal Benefit. The first Chairman was Dr. Cesar E. Meris who also formulated the Benefit and Assistance Code which was approved by the Board

From year 2000 thereon the Society further made progress by leaps and bounds: The QCMS office was expanded and renovated in 2003. A new construction was made adjoining the old office thereby doubling the office space. This was started during the presidency of Dr. Ricardo Costes and governorship of Dr. Ofelia Borje and finished during the term of Dr. Benjamin Lim, President and Dr. Cesar Meris as PMA Governor.

In 2003 the PMA Board of Governors decided that each PMA region should have a flag that would represent the region. Dr. Cesar Meris the PMA Governor for the QC Region designed the Regional flag which was presented to the Board and was approved. This flag also became the official flag of the Quezon City Medical Society.

The first Mission-Vision statements were made in a Seminar workshop January 25-26, 2003 at Sulo Hotel, Quezon City attended by officers of the Quezon City Medical Society.
