Greetings and welcome to the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology website!
 
Ruby N. Foronda, M.D.
The purpose of this website’s existence is primarily to serve as an accessible venue for learning not only for interested physicians but also for all interested non-medical individuals.  You are probably suffering from some form of allergic disease and would like to acquire scientific knowledge about the symptoms that cause your discomfort and even suffering, from a specialist…or you would like to consult with an allergy practitioner close to your place of residence…or perhaps you would like to ask the expert directly about your own specific medical problems.  If so, then this is your space!  We will be here to assist you as far as this site possibly can.

National Allergy Day 2009

Each year, July 8 is celebrated as the National Allergy Day as promulgated in 2005 in conjunction with World Allergy Day which aims to increase awareness of allergy and allergic diseases. As in the past, the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (PSAAI), a 90 member strong organization of board certified allergy specialists, held a National Allergy Day Lay Forum entitled “Allergy Ba Ito?: Mga Dagdag Kaalaman upang Allergy ay Maiwasan” last July 5 2009, Sunday at the QC Sports Club, E. Rodriguez Ave, QC. This year, the Organizing Committee was headed by Dr. Linda Lim-Varona, PSAAI Vice President, under the guidance of PSAAI President Ruby Nagtalon-Foronda, who herself was last year’s Organizing Committee Chair, and Past PSAAI Presidents Drs. Manuel Ferreria, Hiyasmin Lim and Florecita Padua.
