July 2014 to February 2015 Convention Issue 3

PVMA SHINES AT FAVATime flies so fast that by February 28, 2015, my time to serve as PVMA President is over. No regrets!One year ago, the PVMA membership elected me to become the President. I sin-cerely thank the members for giving me their trust to lead the association. It is indeed a privilege and a pleasure to have served the PVMA. To the current officers who assisted me and shared with me their thoughts and ideas in leading the association, in the projects that we as a team formulated and implemented, thank you very much!Convention time is here again: a time for a new leader to step in, a time for a new set of officers to serve the association. Let us not be complacent in choosing our leaders because the PVMA is a strong respected and recognized organization lo-cally and internationally, that whoever we choose will be the representative and spokesperson for us.

“Bridging Veterinarian Competencies and ASEAN cooperation” is the theme for this 82nd PVMA Scientific Conference and Annual Con-vention on 18-20 February 2015 at the amazing Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu, Cebu City. With this theme, I can gladly say that we are ahead of our ASEAN counterparts in the knowledge of the ASEAN 2015 integration. With the seminar held last year on AFAS, this lead to the understanding of the participants on the agreements that our Ministers have involved for us – the four modes of supply. And with this knowledge, we have to put our veterinary skills in place to become com-petitive veterinarians in the ASEAN region as the world is becoming borderless.As the world turns, the challenges to the Filipino veterinarian are increasing: new knowledge gen-erated, rapid diagnostic techniques invented, ex-panding fields of specialization up to subspecies level such as canine dermatology, feline oncology, etc., novel drugs, refined vaccines, emerging and re-emerging diseases, etc., to name a few. All of these we cannot ignore, otherwise we become passe. We cannot just learn by ourselves from reading, thus, it is encouraged that we do attend continuous professional development (CPD) programs to update ourselves and where we can have discussions for further clarifications. To be a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine requires life-long learning and the Annual Scientific Conference during the Convention updates us with what is going on surrounding our profession. Our major affair in February is accredited CPD by the PRC. CPDs are important to level off with our ASEAN counterparts in terms of veterinarian competen-cies. So, hopefully, see you during the Convention in Cebu City!

- Dr. Veronica A. Matawaran

FILVET OBITUARY PVMA CARESPVMA Participates in CPD Councils Workshop

Dr. Eduardo B. Torres attended the seminar/workshop conducted by the PRC and which was participated by various CPD Councils last September 29, 2014.

The workshop emphasized that for the CPD programs conducted by the different professions PRC will be dealing with policies and CPD Coun-cils would be involved in the over-all implementations and one of their big-gest responsibilities is to ensure “Career Progression”. Accredited CPD providers that would develop instructional designs must follow the Outcome Based Educa-tion (OBE) approach, wherein it is not the input that is being evaluated but the outcome. “OBE is you know and how to do what you know”.

CPD Councils for Veterinary Medi-cine will be meeting with PAVMES to finalize the OBE approach for veterinary medicine. As such, Dr. Torres reiter-ated that for CPD council topics regard-ing Day 1 Competencies, they are not acceptable to be accredited. Likewise, training of CPD providers on how to make OBE programs, should be spear-headed by PVMA.

Dr. Veronica Matawaran who is also the Chairman of CHED Techni-cal Committee for Veterinary Medicine, said that that OBE approach will be im-plemented in all schools in all programs by next school year June 2015.

PVMA Attends the 4th OIE Sub-Regional Workshop for Veterinary Educational Establishments and Veterinary Statu-tory Bodies

Feature : Words oF advicedr. Romeo Gundran is currently the Dean of the College of Veterinary Science and Medicine, CLSU. He was the PRC’s Out-standing Veterinarian for 2013 and he gave such an inspiring talk at the 2013 Oath-Tak-ing, that he was invited again to give as In-spirational Speech at the 2014 Oath-Taking.

Here are excerpts from his speech.2014 Message for New Veterinarians during the oath-taking Ceremony held at Sofitel plaza, october 4, 2014

“Success is not Accidental. It is Intentional”. There is a need to do something. There is a formula to follow. The following 7 points are the suggested steps in order to succeed in life: the AlphABet oF SuCCeSS1. To be successful, we must have letter A: AttitudeAbility is not enough. It should be combined with attitude: Abil-ity + Attitude = Good Results.According to Winston Churchill: Attitude is the little thing that makes a big difference. Many jobs have been lost, many promo-tions have been missed. Many clients have walked away. Many subjects in school have not been passed. Many relationships have been ruined, etc… Why? Because of wrong attitude.However, if we have good, right and positive attitude: our prob-lem may turn into a blessing; our failure may become a backdoor to success; our mess may become a powerful life message. Remember: It’s not what happens to you that matters most. It’s how you react to it which is more important. With good, right and positive attitude you can succeed in life.Examples: David & Goliath. Soldiers said: He is so big, we can never kill him. David said: he is so big, I cannot miss him. What giant do you face today? Just like David, let us have a Winning AttitudeStory of Two Shoe Salesmen sent to an island. One salesman said: We will return home tomorrow, no one wears shoes. The other said: Send 10,000 shoes. Everyone here needs them. At-titude makes a difference2. To be successful, we must have letter B: BelieVe

Believe that it can be done even if it’s impossible.Story of Church without Parking Space because of the mountain at the back. 24 church members prayed for 3 hours and claimed the scripture. (Mat 17:20 NIV) …if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” And a construction company offered to buy the ‘mountain to help fill up a lot.Example: Dr. Gian Canlas. He believed that he can. He unlocked his potential. He emerged Top 2 last year. Lesson: Keep believing, keep hoping, keep trusting3. To be successful, we must increase our C: CoMpeteNCe John Maxwell said: “We cannot become what we want by remain-ing what we are.” Continue building your competence – improve your knowledge, skills and abilities. It’s a lifelong learning. This is the reason why we have continuing professional development seminars, PVMA Conventions and others. Remember this:

“Highly successful people have a continual thirst for knowledge” The Challenge for Us: Don’t remain what you are today; Build your competence. Improve; Reach your maximum potential; “You have a Great Potential”.4. To be successful, we must have letter d: deteRMiNAtioN All of us experience problems and failures. James 1:2 says: “Con-sider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds…” From this verse we can say that problems are inevitable. Problems are variable. That’s why we must have determination to succeed. Examples: Thomas Edison (greatest inventor): conducted 10,000 experiments to invent light bulb; Abraham Lincoln: (1831-1860): For 28 years he failed in family, business and politics (Congress, Senate, VP); Failure is a Fact, a Friend (backdoor), and not Final (3F); Winston Churchill: Never, never, never, never, give up!, and he also said “Success is the ability to go from one failure to an-other with no loss of enthusiasm”5. To be successful, we must have letter e: eXCelleNCeExcellence means: Doing the best you can to make things happen; Doing ordinary things the extraordinary way.

Result - When you do your best: You will become a better person tomorrow than what you are today; You will experience Promo-tion; You will win Favor and a good name. My Wish for you: “Through your excellence, may your immediate community become better because of you”. May you contribute something that will benefit others. 6. To be successful, we must have letter F: FoCuSFOCUS = Following one Course until SuccessfulOur Topnotcher– Dr. Cyron Sarmiento (2014) and the Top-notcher last 2013 - Dr Felkins Macabitas, both have set goals, stay focused on their priorities. What can we learn - set your goal and stay focused. W Churchill said, “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”. Life is like a cam-era, focus on what’s important and you will capture it perfectly. Focus ang kailangan hindi hocus pocus.7. To be successful, we need the perfect No. 7, G: GodMatthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteous-ness, & all these things will be given to you as well”. Seek God, Do what is right. Trust Him. (Proverbs 3:5-6)One verse that I asked my children to memorize. Psalms 5:12,

“For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield”. God is the source of our bless-ings & favor. What is the desire of your heart? Psalm 37:4, “De-light yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart”. Joshua 1:8, “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosper-ous and successful.”Challenge: “Include God in your success formula. CONCLUSIONWith good Attitude, with strong Belief, with Competence, with Determination, with commitment to Excellence, by staying Fo-cused, and with God on your side – you can all succeed. I believe and I declare today, you will all be prosperous and successful in the years ahead.God bless you all.

dr. Mariano ll. Jovellanos is currently a Member of the PRC’s Board of Veterinary Medicine. A strong supporter of PVMA and all things veterinarian, he was invited to give the Inspirational Speech at the 2014 Oath-Taking in Cagayan de Oro City. inspirational Remarks by dr. M.ll. Jovel-

lanos, dVM, Fel.pCVph, dd at the oath taking Ceremonies of New Veterinarians, Cagayan de oro City, october 11, 2014 Marie Vevienne Fortich-Casino, Board Member, Philippine Veterinary Medical Association, Presidents, Officers and Board Members of the PVMA Regional Chapters of Mindanao: Region 9, Region 10, Northern Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, Our very supportive parents, guardians, siblings, spouses and guests of our New Veterinarians My New Colleagues in the veterinary profession, the 2014 Batch of Board Passers, Guests, ladies and gentlemen:

Perseverance (persistency) as defined by Dr. Frank Boyd, is ” The steady and certain advance to a definite goal that engages all the powers of body, mind and soul”. A man or woman who resolutely perseveres can accomplish much in any given direction or goal. The result of one’s perseverance and then arrives at a just estimate is one great factor of a person in order to succeed. The Filipino saying or kasabihan “Kung may tiyaga, may nilaga” will exemplify this given trait to most of you, new veterinarians. Because of your “tiyaga” or perseverance you were able to hurdle the problems and trials in your studies, develop one’s character, sharing one’s talent with family, school, and community; studying hard or living within one’s means, your desire to graduate, pass the board and become a licensed veterinarian . Benjamin Franklin said, “Perhaps you are weak handed, but stick to it steadily, and you will see great effects— for constant dripping wears away stones and little strokes fell great oaks.”

Albert Einstein said, “Never give up on what you really want to do, the person with big dreams is more powerful than one with the facts”JFK said, “One person should make a difference and every person should try”With the foregoing introductions in mind, I welcome you all, our new veterinarians, your parents/guardians, siblings, relatives, love ones. spouses and the capable and persevering deans, teachers and mentors of your respective colleges. The community of animal lovers and users and stake holders in the animal industry as a whole are waiting for your contribution for the development of our profession in particular and a healthy animal industry in general. Ipagbunyi and PRC! Pagbabago sa bansa’y matatamo! Pagbabago sa Propesyon Matatamo!
