Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the Pediatric Dermatology Society of the Philippines, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to all of you for the12th Asian Scientific Meeting of Pediatric Dermatology (ASMPD) and the 48th Annual Convention of the Philippine Dermatological Society, which will be held from November 4-7, 2025 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom Manila. This event is especially meaningful to us, as we are hosting the ASMPD for the very first time and are also welcoming members of the Philippine Pediatric Society to our convention. We are truly honored to have this opportunity, and we would like to express our gratitude to the Philippine Dermatological Society for allowing this collaboration.
We have thoughtfully prepared a diverse and exciting scientific program centered around our theme: Building Bridges: Exploring Innovations in Pediatric, Medical and Cosmetic Dermatology. The program will feature a range of practical workshops, high-yield symposiums and thought – provoking plenary sessions, all reflecting the dynamic and evolving field of dermatology for patients of all ages. We are proud to host a distinguished lineup of international speakers from across Asia, as well as special guests from Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In addition, we are thrilled to present a group of outstanding local speakers, each an expert in their respective fields.
In planning this event, we have made sure to include topics that will resonate with all subspecialties. But we are deeply grateful to our mother society, the Philippine Dermatological Society, for entrusting us with the opportunity to curate a Pediatric Dermatology program that caters to the interests and needs of our guests from across Asia and beyond. We sincerely hope to provide you not only with an intellectually enriching experience but also an enjoyable, memorable and productive gathering for all of you!
Salamat at Mabuhay!
Sincerely,
Angela Katrina Medina Esguerra, MD, FPDS, FPDSP
