Message from the President

Greetings from the Philippine College of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (PCEDM)! Welcome to this premier college, the only body that certifies and accredits endocrinologists in the Philippines.

Endocrinology is the fascinating study of diabetes, thyroid diseases and other hormonal disorders, and PCEDM is the home of specialists in this field who are passionate about providing excellent and empathetic care to all patients who suffer from these illnesses.

Leading in the forefront of the battle against hormonal diseases, especially diabetes and thyroid disorders, we are dedicated to uplifting the lives of the Filipino people. Armed with inquisitive minds, we do relevant research and are always on the lookout for innovations that will promote endocrine health. We constantly carry the shield of integrity and honor as we ensure ethical medical practices. Our bastion is the care and respect we hold for all our patients and colleagues. The banner we hold high is our love for God and this mantle of responsibility that He has entrusted to us in caring for all peoples.

This, then, is who we are…. Our words, translated into our actions and many activities and projects, show this committment to you. As has been said, “How do you measure a year in a life? Measure in love.” (From: Seasons of Love). And to paraphrase: neither thunder nor rain, nor heat of day nor gloom of night will bar the way that PCEDM will always deliver the highest standard of healthcare to our community and our countrymen.

Come, I invite you to enter our world through the various posts in our website and see how we have transformed the landscape of Philippine endocrinology.

Because we are PCEDM. And we are at your service!

MD, FPCP, FPCEDM
