Greetings from the Philippine Medical Association!
It is with a distinct honor and a pleasure, for me, to convey my heartfelt felicitations and congratulations to the officers and members of the National Committee on Urban Pest Control on the holding of its observance of its 21st National Urban Pest Control/Zero Waste, Zero Pest Week on September 25 to 30, 2017.
It delights me to know that this year’s observance coincides with the observance of “Clean Up the World Month” of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). One of the main thrust of government is to prevent the occurrence of vector and pest borne diseases not only in urban centers but in areas near or close to human habitat where they can potentially spread diseases. A motorcade on the 25th of September to mark the opening ceremonies and launching of the nationwide anti-dengue and anti-zika virus operations, in coordination and collaboration of the local governments both from the National Capital Region and other areas of the country, speaks well of the dedication and diligent preparations of the organizers in this grand celebration with the theme: “Imagine Food Safety, Public Health, and Property Without Pest Control”. As an accredited CPD Provider of Agriculture, the NCUPC can stand proud of its performance as an organization and for its contribution in raising the level of health of our people.
On behalf of the other PMA national officers and members of the board of governors, allow me to reiterate my warm regards and best wishes to the officers and members of the National Committee on Urban Pest Control. More Power and Mabuhay!
IRINEO C. BERNARDO III, M.D.
President 2016-2018
