All about safety and health are something serious we could advocate on. The IP-Road SafetyAwareness Campaign is thus very timely. More road crashes are happening. The investigations should not only focus on the negligence of drivers and operators but seriously look at the use of counterfeit parts that may have caused the accidents. We need to continue educating the public for them to be enlightened as to the severe effects of patronizing counterfeit items. Education is the most potent strategy to be used to address the problem since we cannot go after the infringers forever. Enforcement is in itself enforcement, all said by Atty. Gepty.

In his address, outgoing president Alfredo O. Lejano, Jr. thanked MDPPA for the privilege of allowing him to represent the Association for the last two years; and proceeded to share the highlights of achievements of the association and the important roles each played.
