It is with great pride and excitement that we welcome you to the 2025 Annual Convention of the Philippine Urological Association.

This year’s convention marks a milestone in our ongoing efforts to expand international collaboration, as we officially join forces with several of the world’s leading urological organizations including the European Association of Urology, American Urological Association, Urological Association of Asia, Société Internationale d’Urologie, Federation of ASEAN Urological Associations, International Alliance of Urolithiasis, Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics, and the British Journal of Urology International. These partnerships underscore the PUA’s growing presence and participation in the global urologic community.

The scientific program brings together an outstanding cast of local and international faculty, eager to deliver cutting-edge insights across the full spectrum of urologic care. In keeping with global trends, simultaneous live surgery sessions will take center stage as a first for PUA- fostering real-time knowledge transfer and skill advancement for our attendees. We are confident that the high-level scientific exchange at this year’s convention will further elevate the knowledge, capabilities, and global competitiveness of Filipino urologists.

Beyond the academic sphere, the PUA continues its tradition of offering a well-rounded experience. Enjoy our signature sports tournaments in golf, practical shooting, and the newest addition, pickleball along with unforgettable social events that bring our community closer together. We culminate in style with the much-anticipated Mr. and Ms. Urology Competition.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am honored to present PUA 2025 to all our members and guests. We eagerly look forward to your enthusiastic participation and hope you enjoy every moment of this meaningful gathering.

Lastly and most importantly, I extend my deepest gratitude to the tireless men and women of the Scientific, Sports, and Socials Committees, along with our ever-reliable PUA Secretariat. All this also made possible by the unwavering support of the PUA executive council and all PUA chapters and subspecialty societies. Your dedication has made this convention not only possible, but exceptional.

Let us come together, learn together, and grow stronger as one urologic community.
