A pleasant afternoon to all of our esteemed speakers, moderators, and our viewers from the zoom.
We are all thrilled to have you join us today for an engaging and informative session. And, it is indeed an
opportunity for me to welcome each and every one as we open this postgraduate course entitled: "Zero Hour:
Targeted Actions and Critical Decisions." In this course deeply prepared for by the Ospital ng Makati Department of
Emergency, Prehospital, and Disaster Medicine, we will explore the crucial moments when swift and informed

pressure scenarios, analyze real-world case studies, make strategic choices, and implement targeted actions with
confidence and precision.
This postgraduate course is designed to provide you with valuable insights and practical knowledge from our expert
speakers, who are leaders in their respective fields particularly in disaster management, preparedness and
response, remote medicine, triaging, emergency medical services, hospital response in emergency situations,
utilization of adjuncts in emergency situations, and resuscitation in pregnancy.
We are looking forward for everyone to learn and be very much equipped as we delve into the art and science of
critical decision-making, learning from both theoretical insights and practical applications. We aim to provide you
with the tools and frameworks necessary to act decisively and effectively in the face of urgency. Together, we will
explore the dynamics of zero hour scenarios, enhancing your leadership skills and preparing you to make impactful
decisions when it matters most.
Let us all prepare to engage with complex challenges and develop the skills necessary to excel in critical decision-
making roles. Let us all embark on this journey together, honing your expertise and preparing you to lead effectively
in moments that truly matter.
Your participation is key to the success of this event, and we encourage you to ask questions and share your
thoughts throughout the session. Again, thank you for being here with us, and we hope you find this postgraduate
course both enlightening and inspiring. Let's dive into the discussion and make the most of our time together.

 DR JEREMY A. CORDERO, MD, FPCEM
PRESIDENT, PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE

Greetings everyone. I am Dr. Jeremy A Cordero, the Philippine College of Emergency Medicine president,
welcoming you to the 8th post graduate course of Ospital ng Makati Department of Emergency, Prehospital and
Disaster Medicine: “Zero Hour: Targeted Actions, Critical Decisions.”
Let me start by recognizing all of the accomplishments of this department so far, like achieving a five-year
accreditation from the Philippine Board of Emergency Medicine and becoming one of the most respected training
institutions in Emergency Medicine in the country. Of course, there's also been challenges along the way, such as
the transfer of some of our barangays to another LGU.
But amidst all of that, let us remind ourselves of our roots, our purpose in being, our shared commitment, and that is
delivering world-class healthcare to all Filipinos. Remember that Ospital ng Makati is one of those rare examples in
our country of socialized medicine where the taxes of one of the richest LGUs are used to fund high quality health
care for both indigent and middle-class patients. Remember that our EMS system gives timely interventions to life-
threatening situations in the pre-hospital setting, especially in times of mass casualty incidents and disasters.
Remember that we mold young doctors to become not just capable clinicians but also healthcare advocates that
want to create a better system for
all of our constituents. And it is in that dream that we place all of our efforts.
One day there will be a time where all Filipinos can call an emergency number and the capable EMS team will
come just like in Makati. There will come a time when all Filipinos can expect free high quality health care just like in
Makati. There will also come a time when health care will be seen as a collaborative community effort where
multidisciplinary teams can come together and achieve better outcomes for all Filipinos.
And maybe that time will come in the near future, maybe longer than that. But what's important is that we do not
stop hoping, that we do not stop working for that reality to come.
The time is now. As said in the postgraduate course, targeted actions, critical decisions. Let me congratulate the
postgraduate course chair, Dr. Gerome Cuaresma, the department chair, Dr. Eric Macalintal, and the Emergency
Complex Head, Dr. Roderick Vito, for a successful postgraduate course. Thank you and good afternoon.

OVER ALL CHAIR, 8TH POSTGRADUATE COURSE
ZERO HOUR: TARGETED ACTIONS, CRITICAL DECISIONS

Good day everyone! It is an honor to speak before you at the closing of our department’s 8th post graduate
symposium.

Over the past few days, we have delved into urgent matters/ that impact lives not only within the emergency room but
also prehospitally. "Zero Hour" represents the crucial moment when decisive actions determine the outcomes of an
incident. We’ve explored innovative approaches to patient care, disaster preparedness, and crisis management
across our different lectures. But let us remember that every second counts. Our commitment to excellence must be
unwavering.

The weight of critical decisions can feel immense, but remember, the very act of preparation and the knowledge
you’ve gained here empower you to make those choices with confidence. These trainings and preparations equip you
to face zero hour with decisive action. When faced with critical decisions, remember to trust your trainings and act
with courage.

In closing, I challenge each of you: When the zero hour strikes, will you hesitate or lead by action?

Thank you frontliners, our heroes in zero hour. God bless us all!
Mabuhay!
