The Asian Pacific Orthodontic Society (APOS) Gets Global Exposure with Its Participation in the 7th International Orthodontic Congress The Asian Pacific Orthodontic Society has its very own orthodontic conference (APOC), which is now held every 2 years, since its inception in 2001. However , this time the APOS decided to sacrifice having its own 7th Asian Pacific Orthodontic Conference and instead, incorporate it with the WFO’s 7th International Orthodontic Conference to achieve global exposure. Being a regional Affiliate organization of the WFO, the APOS, under the vibrant leadership of Dr. Somchai Satravaha (also a member of the WFO Executive Committee representing Central & East Asia), wanted to show its mother organization, the WFO, a 100% support for its endeavor. Five years of painstaking preparations for this project by the WFO bore fruit: over 4000 delegates flocked to Sydney for this event. |

It was almost the break of dawn last Jan.24 and I found myself on unfamiliar territory. It was dark and the buses speeding along Quirino Ave. did not seem welcoming. We were told to make our way to the Manila Hotel side of the Quirino Grandstand. The meeting time was 5.30 am. I looked at my watch – 5.45. “Oh no…What will Jose say?”

The 5th APO General meeting 2008-2009 held at Palm Grove, Rockwell Club, Makati last Aug 5 2009 was particularly memorable because aside from the socially relevant topics discussed, this day marked the occasion of the interment of our dear Mother of Democracy Corazon Aquino. With that in mind, Dr. Rossana Sanchez led the invocation with special intention for our beloved ex-President at about 8:40 am. This was followed by the National Anthem. After which, APO president, Dr. Jose Manuel Rivera gave the welcome remarks.
This meeting was hosted by Quezon City 4 with Drs. Maria Elenor Estrada and Maria Victoria Reyes as masters of ceremonies.
