PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

A lovely day to you all!

Let me begin by giving thanks, honor and praise to our gracious Heavenly Father for His faithfulness to PARM for the past forty five years.

On behalf of our Academy, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our Past PARM Presidents, PARM Executive Board, PARM Training institution Chairmen, Regional Chapter Officers, Organizing Committee Chairs and members as well as all our selfless PARM partners and volunteers, who have helped advance our profession all these years. What we are enjoying now is the harvest of the seeds of hard work that they have sown in our Academy.

As PARM continues to grow and thrive, I am encouraging our young physiatrists today. The future of PARM is in your hands. You are the next generation. Do not let youth or inexperience stop you from serving and flourishing. Get out of your comfort zone. Take the lead, and raise the banner of PARM wherever you are. You are PARM’s Ambassador. As long as your intention is for the highest good, God will help you accomplish the task He has prepared for you.

I only have one year to serve our Academy as your president. I want to offer PARM my best. But I will not accomplish anything without God’s help and your support. So, I humbly ask for your help and participation.

As we enter the new decade in 2020, I pray that we will have a clear 20/20 vision on where we want PARM to be in the next 20 years. Together, may we develop the resilience to survive the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Let us walk hand in hand, with new hopes and new dreams for our Academy. PARM 2020: Resilient and Inclusive. I declare that PARM fiscal year 2019 -2020 will be a victorious, prosperous and fruitful year, in Jesus Name! Mabuhay ang PARM! To God be the Glory!
