“POGS Kabalikat sa Pagsulong ng Kalusugan at Karapatan ng Kababaihan”
(POGS: Championing Women’s Health and Rights)

Marivic C. Agulto-Mercadal, MD, FPOGS
POGS being an institution for women for the past 76 years, as represented by its logo, has ensured the quality of
healthcare, protection of human rights, and advancement of women’s empowerment and gender equality for the
Filipinas all over the country.
The POGS logo is placed at the top and within the vision of the woman, symbolizing that all Filipino women, from all
walks of life and all ages, will always have POGS within their reach, ready to serve them, to give them equal access
to health resources, safeguarding their rights against any form of violence, discrimination, and inequality. The large
photo of a woman represents the Filipino women standing tall and proud, knowing that their reproductive health
is protected, and their rights are uphold... from infancy, puberty, reproductive age, and climacteric period.
The woman’s silhouette exuded an empowered woman, cognizant of her rights and merits, shining brightly as
she lights up and brighten the world with her presence, as represented by the bigger stars illuminating from the
woman giving light to the smaller stars in the blue and dark background. She is a vital and equal partner of men in
nation building in our society, deserving to be protected and valued.
A pink stole can be seen draping her right shoulder. Pink has always represented femininity, tenderness, sensitivity,
love, and kindness. These are qualities that our Filipino women have, and which POGS continue to promote and
nurture in our society. Flowers of different designs can be seen lining the stole, representing the cycle of a woman
from a tender bud to a full bloom until it slowly withers and fade. The flowers also represent the fragility of a
woman, which POGS recognizes and preserves by consistently prioritizing her in the conception of all its policies
and programs, providing her with tender loving care, as POGS watches the woman blossoms to reach her fullest
potential.
POGS is for the Filipino women, championing the health and rights of every Filipina, empowering and protecting
her, ensuring the highest quality of healthcare for her… yesterday, today and the years to come.

y warmest greetings to Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society
(Foundation), Inc. as you celebrate your 76th Founding Anniversary and hold your
2022 Hybrid Annual Convention.
Our specialists in Obstetrics and gynecology and play play a key role in maintaining
the well-being of women, especially during these trying times. Our professionals in this field must
be able to keep abreast with the trends in their specialization to be able to come up with better
quality care for their parents and communities.
I am delighted to know that, for more than seven decades, your foundation has advocated for
excellent gynecological care and reproductive health through various medical approaches. I
hope that this event will serve as a platform for your members to collaborate and share the best
practices that will redound to a stronger and more responsive healthcare system.
We consider you as our partner in providing every Filipina with a better and more dignified life.
As we look forward with optimism, I encourage you to uphold your society’s ideals as we strive for
brighter future.
I wish you a meaningful event.

ith great appreciation, I congratulate the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society
(POGS) on the occasion of their 2022 Hybrid Annual Convention and 76th Founding Anniversary!
The health sector has gained much from the challenges it faced the past few years. From
dealing with the health crisis to providing solutions for other common diseases that plague
the country, the Department of Health (DOH) continues to innovate and develop breakthrough solutions
with the aid of its partners and stakeholders. These initiatives pave the way for the fulfillment of the Universal
Health Care (UHC) Law to grant easier access to healthcare services for all Filipinos, wherever they may be.
The UHC includes all aspects of health including the safeguarding of reproductive health - ensuring that
mothers and newborns are given the highest quality of care, preventing them from contracting diseases
before, during, and after pregnancy. And with the existence of the POGS, we have been able to do just that
- backed up by complete knowledge of pregnancy, childbirth, and fertility.
Since your establishment in 1946, the organization has rallied for women’s healthcare and increased
awareness of women’s health issues. From spearheading advocacy programs and providing extensive
reproductive health education, your members have become equipped with competencies needed to
provide patients with the highest possible quality of care. Guided by thorough research and training,
these initiatives all anchor on the reform of UHC - enhancing primary care in the Philippines.
Your expertise and invaluable contributions as part of the Technical Working Group on the development
of various health programs, policies and activities of the Department such as Omnibus Health Guidelines
and Health Technology Assessment to name a few, are a key component in addressing maternal and
reproductive health concerns. This Annual Convention is celebrated at a high time, highlighting the need
for an effective health care delivery system that enables eased access to preventive, promotive, curative,
rehabilitative, and palliative care for medical and mental health services. With the right amount of integrity,
competence, accountability, compassion, and innovation, the organization’s members are given enhanced
professionalism and secured welfare. The DOH extends its salutations to the POGS for fostering a community
of medical experts who look out for the wellbeing of women all over the country. Let us all work towards the
continuous improvement of healthcare in the country for every Juan and Juana!
Maraming salamat, para sa Healthy Pilipinas!

reetings of Peace to all!
With this note, allow me to thank all PMA members for the collective leadership among those
who stood up with conviction to heal our nation during its hardest and most trying times…
tunay na mga Bayaning Filipinong Manggagamot na may katangi-tanging adhikain!
We mark a new dedication within the Association and a new spirit among us all. A president may sense
and proclaim that new spirit but only a renewed membership can provide it. We have a place, all of us,
in a long story – a story we continue but whose end we will not see. It is the PMA story – a story of flawed
and fallible people united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.
Let us all strive to measure up to expectations, leading with conviction, putting the best of our personal
capabilities and the fullest measure of our dedication to the service of our organization.
We live in interesting times!
It is a VUCA World that we are faced with.
The COVID-19 pandemic we face plunged us into volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Now
more than ever, we realize that we belong to a global community of healthcare professionals and what
we do and do not do here at the PMA impacts the community of healthcare practice all over the world.
Let us work together, to address the Association’s deepest problems one person at a time, by encouraging
and empowering the good hearts and good works of each and every member. This is the essence of
a transformational and servant leadership that will be the foundation of everything that we will do at
the Society level and at the PMA. Though our challenges are fearsome, so are our strengths. We must
bring to our task today the vision and will of those who came before us. Let us always remember that
we are ONE PMA!

t is with great honor and pride that I invite all of you to attend the POGS 2022 Annual
convention and 76th Anniversary Celebration this November 8-11, 2022. The theme “POGS
Championing Women’s Health and Rights” fits into the POGS vision of being the premiere
organization in the field of reproductive health by providing the highest quality of care.
The Organizing Committee headed by the POGS Vice President Dr. Efren Domingo has done a
great job by providing its members and stakeholders a comprehensive program in a hybrid format.
14 subspecialty societies and affiliates will be participating in the preconvention webinars and
the annual convention will be kickstarted with a sports event– “Takbo, Indak, Padyak para
sa Kababaihan.” Induction of diplomates and fellows will be done in the Opening and Closing
ceremonies, respectively, as we proudly welcome them to our fold. Well-known speakers, both
international and local, will share their expertise in both the plenary and simultaneous sessions.
Advocacies and relevant issues will likewise be discussed in the POGS hour. The much-awaited
fellowship nights will feature regional presentations, entertaining numbers by the Board of Trustees
and the Organizing committee, and bands to rock our nights away and to make sure everyone is
engaged. And to conclude the convention, the stakeholders will present the mission and vision of
POGS in a PANGAKO format followed by the unveiling of the POGS sculpture.
On behalf of the POGS Board of trustees and regional directors, congratulations to the Organizing
Committee and its dedicated members, the POGS secretariat, and our pharmaceutical friends for a
job well done. Let us all show our support in this event that aims to enlighten us and ultimately, to
champion all women’s health and rights.

Advances in Labor and Risk Management
International Program (AIP) - Philippines
The ALARM International Philippines Program is a two-and-a-half-day training and mobilizing tool designed for
health professionals involved in the delivery of Emergency Obstetrical Care. The content of the program is derived
from evidence-based medicine and is currently maintained by the SOGC’s ALARM International Committee. It
focuses on the five main causes of maternal mortality and morbidity, namely obstructed labor, hemorrhage,
sepsis, and hypertensive disorders as well as measures to prevent obstetrical complications. The ALARM course
also sensitizes the participants to the social, economic, cultural, and legal factors which impede women’s access
to reproductive health services and information and advocates for the improvement of women’s reproductive
and sexual health as a matter of social justice. Finally, it also exposes health professionals to the monitoring and
evaluation approaches necessary in all initiatives that work toward increasing the accessibility and quality of
maternal health services.

STANDING COMMITTEE
WHO defines MPDSR as a form of continuous surveillance linking the health information
system and quality improvement processes from local to national levels. It is well known that
Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) process is a powerful
strategy to reduce preventable maternal deaths.

Member Member
The Committee on Hospital Accreditation for Service was created in 1959 with the purpose of standardizing quality of
care to all patients in the country. Committee is composed of a chair, who is also a member of the Board of Trustees
and 9 members, 3 of whom are from the region. Accreditation team is composed of 2 – 3 members per institution.
Checklist with a scoring system is used aiming at a more objective evaluation. Based on the scores garnered, leveling
of the institution is granted as follows: Birthing Clinic and Lying-in is both under Level I A, B or C while Hospitals for
service are categorized under Level II A, B or C. Due to the pandemic, accreditation visits were initially done virtually
but towards the middle of the year, the committee started the face to face accreditation. As of this year, we had a total
of 28 institutions accredited. Of the 28, 5 were new applicants. Certificate of Accreditation will be sent to all of these
hospitals in January provided all data up to December 31, 2022 has been submitted to POGS Nationwide Statistics
thru the Serious MD. .For hospitals due for accreditation next year, as well as for the new applicants we will be sending
the checklist of requirements in November.

Subcommittee on
PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT
Patient blood management is the new standard of care! This is the battle cry of the subcommittee on Patient Blood
Management, a recent addition to the Committee on Patient safety. To highlight the importance of this W.H.O.-
endorsed intervention, the subcommittee increased the number of its online workshops this year to six, attended by
various healthcare professionals from the NCR (Sto. Tomas University Hospital), Regions 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10. Each activity
commenced with four lectures from our experts namely: Dr. Delfin A. Tan, Dr. Maria Corazon Zaida N. Gamilla, Dr.
Elisa O. Tiu and Dr. Maria Antonia E. Habana. The workshop proper included case discussions and applications of
the three-pillar, nine-field matrix of patient blood management, which centered on preoperative treatment of iron
deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA), reduction of perioperative blood loss and harnessing tolerance to
anemia in the pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative settings. Emphasis was made on the use of restrictive
blood transfusion and the extensive dialogues on the establishment of expert groups on PBM were conducted with
the stakeholders present.
With the impending inclusion of PBM in the residency training curriculum, the sub-committee is developing its patient
blood management handbook entitled “Essentials of Patient Blood Management in Obstetrics and Gynecology”. The
handbook will discuss important aspects of patient blood management, including its definition, the three pillars of
PBM, and key recommendations with expected outcomes. The handbook will also discuss the application of PBM
in obstetrics and gynecology practice, including aspects related to Ob-gyn anesthesia. Lastly, the handbook will be
covering essentials

STANDING COMMITTEES
POGS-PHIC Committee
UNDER THE SUBCOMMIT TEE ON NON-LEGISLATIVE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
The Committee on Philhealth was integrated with the Committee on HMO in 2020 by then POGS President Benjamin Cuenca. Both
bodies had a common task of reviewing, formulating new proposals and negotiating benefits in behalf of the entire POGS membership.
It was noted that the PHIC relative value system (RVS) in force was still the system drafted in 2009, partially revised in 2013 using case
rates. The committee members thereafter, reviewed each OB GYN procedure, consulted all POGS subspecialty and affiliate societies to
update and complete their procedures and to propose appropriate compensation. Evidently, there was a need to reconcile discrepancies
in expectations with those deemed acceptable adjustments based on existing rates.
A formula was devised, very similar to those used by other specialty societies to compute for adjusted rates. POGS invited the Philippine
College of Surgeons to present a united stand and both specialty societies undertook a series of meetings with PHIC. Extra effort was
exerted to push for a revised RVS knowing that the eventual shift to the Universal Health Care Law- Diagnosis Related Grouping (DRG)
would entail a lag time for fee adjustments and secondly, 2022 being an election year, would bring change in administration.
In February 2022, our POGS President, Dr. Marlyn Dee and Secretary Dr. Leilani Coloma joined the PHIC committee to dialogue with
the new PHIC Benefits Department & Research Development Chief, Dr. Melanie Santillan. PHIC systems are now geared towards the
implementation of the UHC and to do parallel work on the proposed RVS would be a huge undertaking for the corporation internally
and externally.
In August 2022 however, POGS was reassured that the complete list of procedures submitted will be used for mapping RVS to the new
ICD 9. Our proposed adjusted rates may also serve as reference when base rates are designed in the DRG. Full implementation is in 2025.

PREPARE
The Task Force on Preparatory Reproductive Health Education Priming Young Adults for Responsible Engagement
(PREPARE) is a committee under the Reproductive Health 2 chaired by Board of trustee Dr. Anna Belen Alensuela.
Created in 2017 as a response to the increasing trend in teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection, the
committee aims to:
1. Teach and train comprehensive sexual education that offers age-appropriate information among adolescents
aged 12 -19 years old through webinars, face to face lectures and interactive workshops.
2. Provide accurate information on sexual reproductive health specifically on sexual abstinence and contraception.
3. To educate adolescents on their reproductive and sexual rights as well as on sex and gender identity.
4. To teach, guide and train parents, teachers and guidance counsellors on how to effectively communicate with
adolescents.
5. To lower the teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections through guidance, education and constant
communication.
Currently we are in the process of collaborating with the Department of Education and the Population Commission
to sign a Tripartite Memorandum of Agreement to incorporate the Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) in the
curriculum of the students.
We have made our modules short, informative and interesting enough as we want to dedicate more time in
answering questions during our interactive sessions. Moreover, we are in the process of piloting the “Adopt a School
Program” which we hope to duplicate in every region.

this concept within the POGS, made possible through its regional chapter representatives & members nationwide;
(2) To further the Society’s engagement in disasters & emergencies including, preventative initiatives & projects that have short
& long-term impacts to women’s health by liaising with key multi-disciplinary & multi-sectoral national-level stakeholders.
(3) To identify through its regional representation the different natural & man-made hazards in their localities in order to
provide maternity & gynecologic services in coordination with the regional, provincial & local government health units &
non-government agencies in disaster situations.
(4) To identify key agencies to facilitate POGS members awareness and knowledge in disaster risk reduction, response
principles to ably address women’s health needs, in local or national calamities & disaster.
(5) To sign the Memorandum of understandings/agreement, as appropriate, between the POGS and national level agencies
that will assist in the engagement of POGS membership who wish to volunteer in times of disasters/calamities.
(6) To establish a coordinated disaster and calamity tracking system & volunteer registry between and among POGS & the
other national level agencies involved with disaster mitigation, response and rehabilitation.
(7) To assist volunteer POGS members in their timely and safe deployment to disaster locations where obstetrical &
gynecological expertise is needed.
(8) To evaluate if the volunteer registry system will work through regional reports.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS/ACTIVITY
Created as a Presidential Adhoc Committee named Women’s Health and Environment (WHE) in May 2017 by then POGS President
Dr. Mayumi Bismark, WHE committee assists in addressing the perceived needs to participate in high level engagement,
contribute to climate change and disaster risk reduction goals in keeping with the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals.
The POGS, through the WHE Committee members, advocates for highly committed & motivated OBGYNs to support activities &
efforts towards reducing maternal mortality & morbidity during disasters & emergencies, all in the spirit of altruism & a shared
vision with the national government, private institutions and agencies.
The POGS recognizes that women’s health can be affected when environmental issues are not addressed. In different regions
of the Philippines, women are affected by disasters, both natural & man-made. POGS members can volunteer to deliver OB-
GYN services in instances where it is needed or sought by the community. The initial WHE Committee was headed by Dr. Erlidia
Llamas-Clark from 2017 for the last 5 years. Dr. Betha Fe M. Castillo was its BOT Liaison Officer from 2017-2018. On its 3rd year, Dr.
Virgilio B. Castro became the BOT Liaison in 2019 and from 2020 to present, the BOT designated Chair is Dr. Ronaldo Santos. Its
core members have remained the same in the last 3 years with the addition of 2 other POGS members.
On January 2018, POGS President Dr. Elisa Tiu, integrated the FIGO Climate Change Committee headed by Dr. Ditas Decena
(operating since 2015), which had international representation at the FIGO Vancouver, Canada. The WHE Committee chaired
by Dr. Llamas-Clark, had 2 Subcommittees: The Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction which she heads, while closely
working with Dr Decena in the Subcommittee on Reproductive, Development and Environmental Health (RDEH) which deals
with the impacts of the environment on health particularly on women’s and reproductive and developmental health concerns.
In 2018, the first multidisciplinary, multisectoral workshop/seminar of the WHE committee was held in the POGS Office with
representatives from the regions and invited guests and speakers from relevant agencies such as the Senate, Climate Change
Commission, National Federation of Women’s Commission, ABS CBN and experts in climate change and disaster among many
5others. An advocacy primer under the RDEH was published to make members aware of other issues that affect women’s
health.
In 2019, the Subcommittee on WHE published the book, “Women, Health and the Environment: Concepts and Perspectives for
the Obstetrician Gynecologist” (POGS Disaster Handbook); thereafter at the POGS Annual Convention, the POGS membership
voted for the Adhoc Committee of the WHE to be a POGS standing committee renamed as Committee on Environment and
STANDING COMMITTEE
Subcommittee on
RISK PREPAREDNESS
Women’s Health with the Subcommittee on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Preparedness (CC DRP) and RDEH. At the
height of the COVID19 pandemic in 2020, the Subcommittee on CC DRP pioneered the Webinar Series offering 7 webinars that
guided the POGS membership about various relevant & practical topics related to the OBGYN’s knowledge & practices. High-
level guests from national & local government agencies, experts from different disciplines & specialties in medicine as well as
OBGYNs provided the knowledge & information base to increase awareness during this pandemic. Soon thereafter, the “Life
after COVID-19: What is Next? Theories, Practices and Lessons on Women’s Health” was published based on the template. The
POGS Subcommittee also pioneered the production of Climate change & Disaster video infographics for the year.
In 2021, the COVID19 pandemic & climate change & disaster focus were adopted. With the information, education &
communication materials available, the Webinar sessions were realized in 4 series. The video-infographics were shared in each
broadcast to the public & POGS members targeting the regions’ advocacy use. Simultaneously there were regional meetings
which gave sessions on parameters to use in local hazards and disasters that the regions could utilize to prepare for. The
POGS membership has also been equipped to be safe during the COVID19 pandemic through a Teaching of Trainers cascade
in collaboration with the PROJECT HOPE Assist last April 26-28, 2021. As the pandemic continued in 2021, the Subcommittee’s
multisectoral and multidisciplinary international, national and regional collaboration and commitment on climate change and
disaster risk preparedness continues by encouraging the POGS regional offices’ engagement with the DOH and Philippine Red
Cross Chapters & strengthening their community linkages. Our work will also be recognized in the FIGO as we share the role
of the OBGYNs in transitioning OBGYNs to on-line learning during the pandemic & sharing the Philippine climate change and
disaster experiences as a case study. The story of the POGS Subcommittee on CC and DRP members and their regional partners
continue.
2022 ushered in another virulent strain of meetups by the POGS Committee on Environment & Women’s Health, Subcommittee
on Climate Change & Disaster Risk Preparedness headed by Chairperson Dr. Erlidia Llamas-Clark& POGS BOT Liason, Dr. Anna
Belen Alensuela, Environment & Women’s Health Committee. First of its meeting was on January 27, 2022 with DOH, an
update on Typhoon Odette for Disaster Management initiatives. An earlier introductory meeting on Jan 25 with new members,
stressed to understand their clearcut objectives. Subsequent meetings held in Jan 29, Feb 4 & 18, Mar 21 & 29, April 21, June 9 &
July 14 focused on its history and reinforced the current targets of the Subcommittee. March 5 showed a full force of regional
directors’ meetup with committee members, who were divided into 3 subgroups in 3 breakout rooms and focused discussion
of their unique responses to disasters in their particular regions. These reactions & stories would be the backbone of CCDRP
modules that were eventually formulated. The first of 3 Webinar series on April 23 entitled “Empowering Young Women
and the Communities in the Era of Climate Change, Disasters & Covid-19 Pandemic” was initiated by an opening salvo from
Immediate VP Leni Robredo, a staunch advocate of POGS programs, particularly that of this Subcommittee’s objectives. Sen.
Dick Gordon head of the Philippine Red Cross was a key partner of POGS in Disaster responses with MOA. FIGO President elect
Dr. Jeanne Conry and Dr. Ditas Decena, Chair of RDEH & FIGO Committee on Climate Change & Toxic Environmental Exposures
graced this first webinar of 2022. The Second Webinar of the 2022 Webinar Series was conducted last June 11, 2022 4:00-6:30PM
an Independence Day celebration, that offered a national topic from the NCR focusing on nutrition during disasters & regional
climate change, disaster & COVID19 pandemic topics around the country by POGS regional members from Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao. This webinar was attended by 288 POGS Members in the Zoom platform and 108 in Facebook Live. On March 23-
27, 2022, Dr. Erlidia Llamas Clark and other support groups of POGS Region 10 through Dr. Imelda Carbajal & POGS Region 10
members conducted a surgical & medical mission in POGS Northern Mindanao.
In May 25, 2022 Dr. Erlidia Llamas-Clark presented at AOFOG Young Gynecology Alumni Award, (a Young Gynecologist Awardee
2007 & FIGO 2006 awardee herself) some of the work of the Subcommittee presented for the Philippines.
The Third Webinar of the 2022 Webinar Series was conducted on August 13, 2022 4:00-6:30PM with over 300 attendees via
Zoom and Facebook live with the theme:” The Economics of Climate Change and Disasters: Implications to Women’s Health.
The speakers were Dr. Toby Melissa C. Monsod, PhD professor from UP College of Economics, Dr. Honorata Lalaine Burog
and regional CCDRP Chairs Dr. Marissa C. Espedido – Region 2, Dr. Julie Ann B. Bolastig-Canson – Region 8, and Dr. Cherry

REPRODUCTIVE, DEVELOPMENTAL and
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (RDEH)
The Subcommittee on Reproductive, Developmental and Environmental Health (RDEH) is composed
of 9 committee members, multiple regional and cluster advocates and is in close collaboration with
the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Since its conceptualization in 2017,
the committee continues to do multiple projects to promote awareness of the relationship between
reproductive health and the environment in accordance with the FIGO initiative.
Despite the continued social distancing requirements for 2022, the subcommittee continued its mission
with the following projects:
• In March 23, 2022, a meet and greet with the new cluster and regional heads was held virtually and
the proposal for an “Adopt or Adapt” project was presented. The regions and clusters were tasked
to adapt or adopt any projects presented in 2021 and cultivate these projects in their own districts
and their works will be presented in the 3rd quarter of 2022.
• As part of the Earth Day event, the subcommittee held a webinar last April 22, 2022 entitled
“Environmental and Reproductive Health: Where are we Now?” The event was well attended
by 447 POGS members and moderated by the subcommittee secretary, Dr. Mary Liezl Yu. The
speakers were Dr. Michael Velarde who discussed the Various chemical Toxins in the Philippines and
Dr. Angelito Benjamin C. Belen that lectured on Environmental Challenges induced by Extensive
use of Face Masks during Covid 19: A Review and Potential Solutions. In an attempt to bring our
advocacy to a National level, the subcommittee invited the Honorable Risa Hontiveros to share the
Government Efforts on Environment and Climate Change.
• In continuing the pursuit of a collaboration with other POGS subspecialty and affiliate societies,
a meeting with POGS subspecialty and affiliate societies was held virtually last April 25, 2022.
Representatives from 9 subspecialties and 5 affiliate societies joined the meeting and expressed
their support in advocating and promoting awareness of environment and reproductive health.
• Another virtual webinar was held last June 30, 2022 attended by 417 POGS members. The webinar
was entitled “How does the Environment Affect Reproductive Health?” The lecturers were Dr. Linda
D. Guidice who discussed the Environmental Etiology of Endometriosis, Dr. Sybil Lizanne R. Bravo
talked about the Role of the Environment in the Development of Infections, Dr. Virgilio M. Novero
shared the Relationship of Male Infertility and Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Dr. Maria
Estrella Y. Flores lectured on the Effect of Environmental Toxins to the Pregnant Woman. One of
the regional advocates, Dr. Angelica Villareal – Fortaleza moderated the event. The topics picked
the interest of the attendees and became the inspiration for the subcommittee to start working on
an update to the RDEH primer released in 2018.
• In August 25, 2022, twelve regions and clusters showcased their hard work by giving short
presentations highlighting their contribution to the “Adopt or Adapt” project via researches, lay fora,
tree planting among other activities. There were a total of 323 participants that attended virtually
and the event was graced by FIGO president, Dr. Jeanne Conry, who was in awe on the amount of
work and effort the Philippines are doing for the environment. The posters presented during the
event will be showcased during the 2022 Annual POGS Convention.

In addition to these, the subcommittee continues its pursuit of integrating of climate change and RDEH
into residency curriculum through CREED. An update of the initial advocacy primer initially released in 2018
is in the works and expected to be released by mid 2023. The subcommittee will continue to collaborate
with other medical societies and tap into other paramedical fields, non-government organizations and
local communities to promote awareness and inspire changes in daily practice relating to reproductive
developmental and environmental health. International collaborations with different societies such as
FIGO are strengthened, especially with Dr. Ditas Decena, the chair of the subcommittee was appointed as
chair of the committee on Climate Change and Toxic Environmental Exposures (C2TE2) of FIGO. With this

Historical Perspective
The POGS Organization of Government Institutions (P.O.G.I.) is an offshoot of the fitting objective of the POGS to be a catalyst in
lowering maternal mortality and morbidity in the country. Several very notable and successful programs were initiated by the
POGS in the past, but were unfortunately put on hold when the term of the sitting POGS officers ended. One important realization
in maternal healthcare is that the greater majority of maternal health frontliners are midwives, and only a small proportion of
patients is actually attended by obstetricians-gynecologists. Complicated conditions are referred to the hospitals at a later time
when complications are apparently imminent, if not insurmountable.
In 2019, the POGS initiated the POGS H.E.A.L.T.H. program, an acronym for Health Education Aligning Lying-in To Hospitals, with
the foremost objective of establishing an efficient and sustained working relationship of midwives and other allied healthcare
workers with the hospitals. In the center of this program are the POGS members in the government institutions, thus the birth of
the P.O.G.I. as a government cluster.
The P.O.G.I. was organized in 2019 along with the different major government hospitals in the NCR, with the ardent hope that all
government hospitals nationwide will eventually be enjoined. Being the lead organization, it also envisions to embrace the private
sectors, particularly the lying-ins, birthing homes and private hospitals to participate in this endeavor.
Currently, the P.O.G.I. is working on the establishment of a harmonious relationship between hospitals and satellite health care
units through a health service delivery network, as it helps the government in its nationwide programs like the Universal Health
Care (UHC) Act, thus the mantra, Good Care for Good Health and Good Looks!
The P.O.G.I. is guided by the following specific objectives to help in lowering the maternal mortality and morbidity:
1. Establish an ideal working relationship between hospitals and lying-in clinics, birthing homes, LGU hospitals and rural health
units (RHU) to formulate a timely, friendly and efficient referral system.
2. Identify level I hospitals and lying-in clinics to which the hospitals can refer uncomplicated obstetric cases.
3. Represent the core group of the POGS that will align and spearhead all its initiatives, old and new, towards MMR reduction and
to assure its continuity, especially those that concern collaborations with health-related government agencies and institutions.

The CREED RISES AS ONE to ensure all residency training programs in obstetrics and gynecology in
the Philippines provide the highest standards in education, training, service and research. There are
three working committees to accomplish the council’s objectives: to guarantee a globally recognized
residency training in OB-GYN; to ensure that training institutions provide ethical and compassionate
and competent obstetrician-gynecologists; and to conduct activities and projects that will provide
continuing professional growth of trainers.
The CREED continued its work of monitoring compliance of residency training programs with POGS
standards through the COMMITTEE ON HOSPITAL VISITS. Five Year 3 hospitals were visited virtually
from March to May 2022: Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium, Mary Johnston
Medical Center, General Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Hospital, San Juan de Dios Educational Foundation
and V Luna Medical Center. Perpetual Help Biñan was visited onsite (face to face) last May 23, 2022. In
both remote/virtual and face to face/on-site visits, documentation of implementation of the training
program were meticulously reviewed.
For the second half of the year, 15 hospitals on their second year of re-accreditation were visited
remotely via zoom: Region II Trauma Medical Center, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Gov. Celestino
Gallares Memorial Hospital, Cebu Doctors’ University Hospital, St Paul’s Hospital Iloilo, East Avenue
Medical Center, Southern Philippines Medical Center, Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical
Center, University of the Perpetual Help Medical Center Las Piñas, Rizal Medical Center, Manila Doctors
Hospital, Dela Salle University Medical Center, Cotabato Regional and Medical Center, Seamen’s
Hospital, and Davao Regional Medical Center.
On-site monitoring visit at Perpetual Help Medical Center, Biñan May 23, 2022
VIRTUAL VISIT EAST AVENUE MEDICAL CENTER
San Juan de Dios Educational Foundation Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital
The Training of Trainers and workshop was held last April 22-23,2022. Four hundred eighteen members
of the residency training committees were engaged in a morning of learning tips and tricks on
Effective Online Teaching with expert resource persons Drs. Agnes Estrella, Robert Dy, Ryan Capitulo
and Suzette Mendoza
The workshop on Blended Learning Strategies was conducted by Dr. Iris Thiele Isip-Tan who introduced
the trainers to Video Production for Educators.
The second trainers meeting this year was on September 30, 2022. The Committee on Workshop and
Training headed by Dr. Nilo M. Alcoreza prepared relevant topics on Incorporating Mental Wellness
in the Residency Training Program, Navigating the POGS Learning Management System (LMS) and
Updates on the upcoming 2022 CREED Manual.
For the third straight year, the Residents’ In-Service Examinations (RISE) was held online on September
18, 2022. Preparations for the online examination started as early as the first quarter when COMRISE head,
Dr Florentina Villanueva led the discussion of the test blue print, assignment of topics, and deliberation
of the test questions. After the deliberation of the test questions, one thousand one hundred eleven
residents from took the RISE with 120 members of the residency training committees acting as virtual
examination proctors.
RISE DELIBERATION OF TEST QUESTIONS ENBANC
A major undertaking of the council this year is the updating of the CREED Handbook. All sections of the
handbook were reviewed. Best practices in mitigating measures that we have observed in our visits
in the past two years were featured. Likewise Instructional designs released in the past two years were
incorporated. The council researched, analyzed, deliberated in small group and en banc meetings and
applied lessons and findings from the 2014 and 2018 Handbooks, the 2019 PBOG Benchmark paper by
Dr. Bernadette Octavio, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), WHO, FIGO,
ACOG documents, PNSS data 2019-2021, and the results of the 2022 CREED survey of RTPs.
CREED collaborated with other POGS committees and other agencies on different programs related
to residency training.
1. Dr. Ma. Teresita Liwanag represented CREED in the Virtual Maternal and Perinatal Death
Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) Capacity Building- Training of Trainers led by the POGS
Committee on Maternal and Perinatal Welfare. The trainers rolled out the workshop in a series of
webinars, showcasing the essential and practical step by step guidance relevant to establishing
a framework to assess the burden of maternal deaths, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths. It is
hoped that the MPDSR which promotes confidentiality and a “no blame” culture while fostering
accountability for results will be adopted by the POGS members in their respective institutions.
2. Dr. Alpha S Montaos, CREED representative for DOH concerns, participated in the deliberations on
the “Espesyalista Para sa Bayan” program of the Health Human Resource Development Bureau of
the DOH and in the consultative meeting on the amended implementing guidelines of the Joint
DOH-PRC Policies on the Conduct of Medical Residency and Fellowship Training Programs for
Foreign Medical Practitioners in the Philippines.
3. Dr. Ma. Cynthia Tan, CREED Chair spoke on the integration of Bioethics in the Residency Training
Curriculum. She discussed the Bioethics Instructional Design in four conferences organized by
the POGS Bioethics Committee for the various regions. All accredited training institutions will be
required to submit two papers with bioethical case discussion for inclusion in the Casuistry, the
POGS Book on Bioethics.
CREED continues to lead training programs to guide their resident trainees to EXCELLENCE!
