MESSAGE FROM THE OVERALL CHAIRMAN
Dear Colleagues,
We have always endeavored to improve and raise the bar of our meetings and conventions to make it top-notch and of international standards. After two of years of the pandemic, it is opportune that we have leveled up and came up with a collaboration not only with the Federation of ASEAN Urological Associations (FAUA), but also with the European Association of Urology (EAU) for this year’s Annual Convention.
The relentless efforts and time given by each subspecialty of the Philippine Urological Association (PUA) have produced a state-of-the-art scientific program that will surely make this convention inviting and engaging.
The Annual Convention Organizing Committee prepared a comprehensive, relevant, and entertaining program for all of us to enjoy.
Lastly, we would like to extend our gratitude to the chairman and members of our committee for their tremendous efforts in coming up with this high caliber convention and also our sincere appreciation to our pharmaceutical partners for their generous support.
Hop on and enjoy the exciting ride to our 65th Annual Convention!

OVERALL CHAIRMAN, PUA ANNUAL CONVENTION 2022
MESSAGE FROM THE SCIENTIFIC CHAIRMAN
My Dear Colleagues,
Mabuhay!
After two consecutive years of virtual conventions, this year’s annual meeting marks a return to the face-to-face format that we have all been accustomed to. Our 65th Philippine Urological Association Annual Convention is entitled “The Best of EAU2022: Bridging Best Clinical Practice Between Europe and Asia.” This is in conjunction with the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Federation of ASEAN Urological Associations (FAUA). Our convention will feature not only the best European urologists but also those from the Philippines and the rest of Asia. These esteemed experts will be sharing their knowledge with us, both onstage and via the virtual stage, for four straight days of jam-packed programs. This year, we added two new sessions to the program: 1.“2nd Opinions” will feature lively debates on controversial urological topics, between an expert from the west and one from the east. Each speaker will be allowed a rebuttal after his counterpart has given his argument. 2. “Overcoming Nightmares in Urology” will feature video presentations of actual nightmares encountered by the speaker, followed by a detailed analysis and opinions from a panel of experts.
The different subspecialty societies of the Philippine Urological Association have prepared very comprehensive programs for the duration of the 4-day event. Topics range from the latest innovations in urologic technology and surgical technique, as well as a review and revival of classic techniques that have been overlooked in recent years.
This year’s convention will also feature the first inter-hospital laparoscopic urologic surgery competition, as well as an ESWT for Erectile Dysfunction workshop, on the first day of the congress. As always, we will also have the annual Southeast Asian Urology Residents Education Program (SEA-UREP), featuring distinguished lecturers for the urologic trainees from the region.
Finally, this year’s meeting will feature the 1st “Evening with the Masters” event wherein we aim to bring the EAU masters to you, over dinner and drinks. We recognize that as much as a lot of us would like to approach the distinguished speakers to strike up a conversation, there is always some reluctance from the local urologists maybe due to intimidation or maybe just plain shyness. This event will allow the local urologists, as part of a small group, the opportunity to talk, share stories, ask for advice, and swap contact details with the EAU masters over dinner and drinks. With this, we hope to extend the friendship that the EAU offers, not just to the Metro Manila urologists, but to those from the provinces as well.
This scientific program was developed from contributions by the members of the scientific committee: Dr. Carlo Bisnar, Dr. Fidel Manalaysay, III, Dr. Godofredo Gasa, Dr. Jeff Jubilado, Dr. Joseph Michael Ursua, Dr. Constantino Castillo, III, Dr. Jose Benito Abraham, Dr. Rudolfo de Guzman, Dr. Sylvia Alip, Dr. Juvido Agatep, Jr., Dr. Samuel Vincent Yrastorza, Dr. Patrick Joseph Matias, and Dr. Marc Trinidad. Of course, the whole convention itself would not be possible without the guidance of Dr. Diosdado Limjoco, this year’s Overall Chairman of the Convention, as well as the support of Dr. Aristotle Bernard Roque, our PUA President.
My dear urologists, as 2022 comes to a close, let us all come together and once again enjoy each other’s company as we learn together from the best of the world.

PUA ANNUAL CONVENTION 2022
MESSAGE FROM THE FAUA SECRETARY GENERAL
It is my great honor to welcome everyone to the Federation of ASEAN Urological Associations (FAUA) Annual Meeting in conjunction with the 65th PUA Annual Convention. This will be our first annual scientific meeting since 2019 and would be a worthwhile restart despite all the difficulties in conducting this yearly activity. We have prepared a lean but mean FAUA session and SEA-UREP in collaboration with the PUA, EAU and EAU-PH which will be worth your time and indulgence.
We wholeheartedly thank all the national association members for the support as we strive to maintain our filiations and stay true to the goals and aspirations of the Federation. In line with this, the FAUA Executive Council is finalizing the amendments to the original FAUA MOU which was created in 1993. This much needed amendment will officially include all the ASEAN National Urology Associations aside from the original 5 members and aims to strengthen the objectives and leadership structure in order to fortify our position in the region.
SALAMAT! We look forward to a stronger and more relevant FAUA in the coming years.
