Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I extend my warmest greetings to the leadership, core organizers, and members of the Philippine Academy of Dermatologic Surgery Foundation, Inc. (PADSFI) as you open your 23rd Annual Congress. For over two decades, PADSFI has stood as a beacon of excellence and innovation within the medical community. Through rigorous educational programs, specialized workshops, and strategic global collaborations, your organization has consistently raised the standards of dermatologic and cosmetic surgery in the Philippines. This year's theme, "Revitalize 2026: Leading the Way in Regeneration and Anti-Aging," highlights the evolving frontier of medical science. I commend the physicians and partners for driving a forward-looking practice that incorporates cutting-edge developments in regenerative medicine. You not only advance the sciences but also significantly restore dignity, confidence, and quality of life for the people you serve. The Office of the Vice President stands in solidarity with PADSFI in your pursuit of greater clinical knowledge, stronger professional ties, and an unyielding commitment to healthcare excellence in our country. Salamat sa inyong walang-sawang dedikasyon at patuloy na pagkalinga sa kalusugan ng bawat Pilipino. Patuloy nating mahalin ang Pilipinas. Ang lahat ng ating pagsisikap ay para sa Diyos, sa bayan, at sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino. Shukran
