WELCOME TO pinoypharmacist!!

I hope that I will not bore you to death in visiting this site. If you're a student or someone who is lucky to have your "professional" license, it is my hope that you will not find what will be written and featured here as something irrelevant to your present state of mind. I assure you that you will find here some unconventional and unexpected approaches in dealing with the subjects in pharmacy and your curiosity might be awakened in every step of the way.

But before anything else, I will apologize for the unusual attack that may arise from the pages of this site. This is not to say, however, that I've learned to hate this profession and regret to have practiced it since 1992.

On the contrary, I have learned to love it more than most of those that I've known in my professional life. I have also learned to appreciate the efforts of my colleagues who, even though not recognized in the mainstream, were like heroes that marched and brought Pharmacy practice in the Philippines to a higher level in their own unique way. Their stories (and mine, too) will be written on this site.

So what is pinoypharmacist all about?

Pinoypharmacist is about putting heart and soul to the Pinoy way of practicing Pharmacy. It is about aspirations, experiences, frustations and opportunities. It's about sharing of ideas, of learning and unlearning. It is about facing the realities of our profession and taking actions to correct and improve it.

Most of the time we will be challenged by the pinoypharmacist. We can choose to ignore it, contemplate on it, or just laugh about it. We can even talk about it. And at the end of the day, what we will have then, we most likely deserve.
