What a great honor for our beloved Doc Primo and for our clinic! Even after his passing, he continues to make us all so incredibly proud.
The prestigious International College of Dentists (ICD) Philippine Section held its Inaugural Primo E. Gonzales Memorial Lecture on Sunday, April 26, 2026. This memorial lecture will be held annually by the ICD every first quarter to honor his enduring legacy.
Before the lecture, a tribute was paid to Doc Primo’s invaluable and inimitable success in placing the Philippines on the global dental map. Dr. Armin Gonzales Segarra gave a moving—and at times, humorous—response on behalf of the family, sharing a more personal view of the man we all loved.
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the ICD, with a special mention to Dr. Hermogenes Villareal for making the motion to establish this honor. We truly appreciate your love and respect for Doc Primo.
Doc Primo’s light continues to shine through all of us! The void he left is huge, but the pride we feel is even greater. We miss you always—a truly irreplaceable man who is missed beyond words.
