Dear members of the PUA,
It is my great pleasure to invite all of you to the 38th PUA Midyear Convention, to be held from June 9-11, 2023 in the beautiful island of Panglao, Bohol. This year’s theme, “CHASING EUNOIA: Beyond The Urology Practice”, focuses on topics that will not only benefit our members’ Urology practice but also their overall sense of well-being. We are confident that this convention will be an excellent opportunity for all of us to learn, share experiences, and grow together as professionals.
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Organizing Committee led by the PUA Secretary and Overall Chairman, Dr. Michael Eufemio Macalalag, and the PUA Executive Council Member and Scientific Committee Chairman, Dr. Karl Marvin Tan. They have come up with an impressive program that I am sure will benefit us all. I would also like to acknowledge the PUA Central and Eastern Visayas Chapter, led by its President, Dr. Edwin Lim, for their help and contribution to this event.
We encourage all PUA members to attend the Midyear Convention and take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn from the best in the field. In addition, we extend the invitation to the families of our members to join us and explore the wonders of Panglao, Bohol.
I am certain that this convention will be a fruitful and memorable experience for all of us. Let us come together to celebrate the progress and advancements in our field, while also reflecting on how we can continue to improve and contribute to the well-being of our members.

MESSAGE FROM THE OVERALL CHAIRMAN
Greetings PUA members!
The covid pandemic has taken 2020 and 2021 midyear convention. However last year, our face-to-face 2022 midyear convention was a success in Tagaytay.
During our PUA business meeting, we created a poll for PUA members’ choice for the next midyear venue. With an overwhelming vote, Panglao-Bohol has been chosen.
The PUA executive council and midyear scientific committee has prepared our convention aligned with our PUA President Madrona’s motto of “PUA cares”. The theme of this year’s convention is “Chasing Eunoia Beyond the Urology Practice”. The Midyear convention aims to create an atmosphere of goodwill, learning, collegiality and camaraderie. This year, we have gathered some of the leading urologists and experts in the field to share their knowledge, experiences and insights. It is a great opportunity for urologist to learn from the best and network with their peers.
