CME is in Clark, Pampanga


Doctors to the Barrios' 23rd Edition will be graduating in Oxford Hotel, Clark, Pampanga on October 14, 2009. This is according to the latest text message from the DTTB Coordinators in HHRDB-DOH Central Office. The CME of DTTB's (including PHM's) will start on October 5-15, 2009. According to information, transportation will be provided for those travelling from Manila to Clark on the 5th of October. For Batch 23, also known as ABYAN KA (Alay sa Bayan, Yaman ng Kalusugan), the advise is to finish all the LGU and Regional clearances before going to Manila and to also bring all the "exit papers" for our DOH clearances to be signed. Exit papers include situational analysis, community diagnosis, accomplishment report, annual health plan, etc. Of course, need I remind the batch to prepare for the gallery presentation. According to the agreement last CME in Tagaytay, the attire for the graduation will be Barong Tagalog for the boys and formal gown for the ladies.

I was able to do research on the venue. Getting to Clark is easy. By car, take the North Luzon Expressway from Manila, Philippines and exit at Dau, Mabalacat. Make a left turn towards Angeles City then a right to Clark. The trip should take about an hour and a half from Manila. For those opting to take the public transportation, Commuter Bus service terminal is located at the SM Megamall Bldg A from Manila to Clark. Schedule trip is 7:00am and 12:00pm.

For those outside of Manila, they can either take an airline going to Manila and then take the bus, or they can fly directly to Clark. With the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport(CRK) as the centerpiece of development, Clark is directed towards becoming an airport-driven metropolis that will spur growth within the region. The 2500-hectare airport complex is one of the biggest in Asia with two (2) 3.2-kilometer parallel runaways that can be extended further to 4 kilometers. It can easily accommodate the new generation of large and wide-bodied aircrafts such as the Airbus 380.

The Oxford Hotel in Clark, Pampanga is situated at M. Roxas St., Corner N. Aquino Ave. Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga, Philippines. According to their website, "At the Oxford, you will delight in a wonderful and large pool and spa area. You and your group can enjoy a great meal from one of the Oxfords restaurants at poolside while you relax and take-in the restful environment."

No matter what happens after my DTTB contract, this CME in Clark will definitely be my last CME as a DTTB.
