The 2024 PBPD Induction and Conferment Ceremony was held last July 8, 2024 at The Illustrado Restaurant in Intramuros, Manila. It is a well-known venue featuring traditional Filipino cuisine served in an old-school, Spanish-style venue with antique decor.

Abaya, Almoro, Custodio, Caparas, Remulla, Kamantigue, Medel, Raralio.

Today's Induction Ceremony is a testimony to the generous spirits of the members of the PBPD who share their time and talent to serve as board members to ensure that the PBPD continues to fulfill its mission and vision.
"Sixteen months ago, our lives were upended in ways none of us could have ever imagined. Fear of the unknown was the order of the day and we all seemed to be groping in the dark. The human spirit, however is amazingly resilient. Founded on a growing body of science and fueled by faith, kindness and generosity, we begin to see windows of light in the dark bubble that is the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last July 6, 2020, the Philippine Board of Pediatric Dentistry held its Induction ceremonies followed by the 24th General Assembly via its first ever Zoom online platform. With all 12 diplomates in attendance, the diplomates witnessed Dr. Corlu Caparas stepping down from the board after many years of dedicated service as its first chairman then as ex-officio member. The entire body enthusiastically welcomed Dr. Mariza Custodio as the newest board member.
