National Allergy Day 2016

July 8 is National Allergy Day (NAD) as declared in the Presidential Proclamation No. 1313 last July 8, 2007 by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. It is an annual event held to increase the awareness and educate Filipinos on the growing problems of allergies among adults and children. The Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (PSAAI) has been at the forefront of this endeavor tailored especially for the day.

To kick-start this year’s nationwide celebration, PSAAI will celebrate National Allergy Day on July 3, 2016. It will be held at Fishermall, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City, from 10AM  to 6PM. This year’s theme will focus on “Allergies, The Environment and You”. The title of the event is “#KALIKASANCHANGES #ALLERGYPAMORE #AKOANGSOLUSYON”.

There will be exhibit booths, a wall art and a coloring contest for art enthusiasts, games, a puppet show by Kuya Ony and Kulas together with their favorite allergist Dr. Shirley Kwong-Buizon and lots of prizes! The interactive lectures will feature Allergy Signs and Symptoms by Dr Maria Cristina Edquilag, Allergen Triggers in the Home, School by Dr Frances Palabrica and Allergen Triggers in the Workplace by Dr Pauline Santos Estrella. And finally, practical tips on how we can help address the issue of climate change in the segment Ako ang Solusyon by Dr Racquel Young So. The event will be hosted by funny man Mr Roden Araneta and our very own Dr Kristine Gutierrez. Dr Eric Tayag will also grace the occasion.

The National Allergy Day Celebration is open to EVERYONE! Admission is free! See you there!

Our gratitude to Drs. Kay Tayag and Frances Tan for submitting this article.

Important Advisory: Beware of Impersonation Attempts via Email

Dear Esteemed Members of the Philippine Pediatric Society,

We would like to bring to your attention an emerging concern regarding online impersonation. It has come to our notice that certain individuals or entities are engaging in deceptive practices by spoofing or falsely representing themselves as members of the PPS Board or staff through fraudulent emails.

To protect our members and the integrity of our organization, we kindly urge you to remain vigilant when receiving unsolicited or suspicious communications—especially those requesting personal information, financial details, or payment instructions.

Please remember:
- The Philippine Pediatric Society will never request payments in foreign currency or sensitive information via email without prior official notice through verified channels.
- Do not click on links or download attachments from unfamiliar or unverified sources.
- If an email appears to come from a PPS representative but seems unusual or out of context, please do not act on it immediately.

If you receive a suspicious email—whether it appears to be from a Board Member, staff, or any PPS-related account—we encourage you to:
- Refrain from responding or clicking on any links. Forward the full email (with headers, if possible) to our official contact email: ppsinc@site.pps.org.ph
- Notify us as soon as possible so we can take appropriate action.

Your awareness and cooperation are vital in safeguarding our professional community from cyber threats.

Thank you for your continued trust and commitment to the PPS. Stay safe, stay informed, and let’s work together to keep our organization secure.
