Dear Colleagues,

Mabuhay! (Long Live! as we say it in the Philippines).

Welcome Back!
After 2 long years, surviving the pandemic, getting vaccinated 4 times, and adjusting to the “new normal”, our FACE-TO-FACE Meeting is back. It is an honor and privilege to invite you to the 7th IFSO APC MEETING in Manila, Philippines this November 3 and 4, 2022.

The venue will be at the prestigious SHANGRI-LA THE FORT HOTEL in the new Business District of Bonifacio Global City. We are excited to see old and new friends, discuss and collaborate with experts, and best of all, enjoy travelling once again. This will be the first time the event will be held in the Philippines, so expect a journey into paradise as the Philippines is known for its unique and diverse cultural heritage, beautiful tropical landscape, and loving and caring people.

The theme of the Meeting is called “TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK” and is focused on the multi-disciplinary approach to treating obesity and diabetes. There will be lectures, videos, debates and discussions on management, controversies, and complications in the treatment of obesity and diabetes. International and local experts have been invited and the event is open to all doctors, medical and surgical, and integrated health specialists.

See you soon and travel safe!

Best wishes,

Edward C. Oliveros, MD, FPCS, FACS
