On behalf of the Philippine Academy of Family Physicians, it is my great pleasure to invite you to our 52nd Anniversary and Annual Convention and the 3rd Biennial Conference of the ASEAN Region Primary Care Physicians Organization to be held on March 6-9, 2013 at the Philippine International Convention Center. This is the first time that PAFP has had the opportunity to host the ARPAC Conference.

We are aiming to provide you not only a scientific program that highlights best practices in universal health care but also various activities designed to promote camaraderie and fellowship among the participants. In particular, the organizing committee is endeavoring to add that "ASEAN" flavor by addressing subject and areas of importance for the region.

As a destination, the Philippines will provide you with "more fun" opportunities. You will be able to sample other pleasures of the country either on your way through or on your return journey.

Come to Manila in 2013! Learn and have more fun with us!
