A grandiose graduation rite was offered by PLM to the capital city's brightest scholars as a red-carpet send-off -- a fitting tribute to their indomitable spirit to hurdle arduous challenges and to master the rudiments of life.
The high repute and unsullied integrity of PLM, the prestige ascribed to its name -- Pamantasan -- is a diamond of epic proportions.
Tested by time, "Pamantasan" has evolved into a powerful brand name with Excellence as its birthright -- unscathed by any scorching fire and unperturbed by any vilification.
The PLM phenomenon -- secure on its pedestal. Then, now and beyond.

Libraries are dying? Think again

Many people are discovering a renewed fascination with libraries

MANILA – Two state universities, University of the Philippines and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, head the Top 11 list of the nation's best schools for doctors, consistently scoring a 100 percent passing performance in board examinations.

The list was drawn up by the House committee on higher and technical education based on the outstanding performance of their graduates in the last two Physician Licensure Examinations administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). Besides UP and PLM, a third state university made it to the list, on No. 8, West Visayas State University in La Paz, Iloilo.

Pasig City Rep. Roman Romulo, committee chairman, identified the top producers of would-be medical doctors as follows (with the percentage of their examinees passing the last two professional eligibility tests in brackets):

1. University of the Philippines-Manila (100%);

2. Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (100%);

3. Ateneo de Manila University (100%);

4. Cebu Institute of Medicine (100%);

5. University of Santo Tomas (98.88%);

6. University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center (96.80%);

7. Cebu Doctors’ University (95.74%);

8. West Visayas State University-La Paz (95.29%);

9. Xavier University-Cagayan de Oro (93.94%);

10. Cagayan State University-Tuguegarao (86.36%); and

11. University of St. La Salle-Bacolod (85.71%).

Citing PRC statistics, Romulo said at least 80 percent of the examinees who graduated from these 11 schools passed the last two Physician Licensure Examinations.

Romulo’s panel has been publicizing the best performing universities for every program as a public service,  so as to help consumers -- students and their parents -- decide where they will likely get the best value for college tuition payments.

Commission on Higher Education records show that the country has 38 higher institutions of learning accredited to train prospective doctors.

According to the PRC, some 74.65 percent, or 2,259 out of 3,026 examinees, passed the Physician Licensure Examinations in February 2014 and August 2013.

While you are enjoying your summer vacation, our librarians are busy encoding library collections in the library software. Hopefully the system will be available soon so that you can explore and find library materials in just a click away.

Please be reminded that PLM Library is closed for our annual inventory. Also, we would like to request the faculty and employees to return the book/s they borrowed as soon as possible.
Thank you and happy vacation!!!

PLM is a strong partner of the Philippine Commission on Women and all other public agencies in empowering women, which Women's Month Celebration is being observed this March. Earlier today, PLM public servants were part of this bid to set a record in the Guinness World Records. Eleanor Galvez

In this February 17, 2014 photo, the EDSA People Power Commission in Cavite commemorates the 28th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolutionby gathering 3000 participants to form a human yellow ribbon.

MANILA, Philippines - Only classes in schools will be suspended for the 28th anniversary of the People Power Revolution on February 25.

Work in government and private offices are not covered by the suspension order by the Palace.

Many of those who remember the People Power Revolution in 1986 that led to the ouster of former President Ferdinand Marcos, wear yellow, the official color of the anti-Marcos LABAN party of the late President Corazon Aquino.

President Benigno Aquino III, meanwhile, will head to Cebu to celebrate the event with communities devastated by super typhoon Yolanda.

"The President said it was important to rally people in areas affected by calamities in order to rekindle the spirit of EDSA People Power in rebuilding better communities. Hence the original plan to hold the event inMalacañang was shelved," Herminio Coloma, Jr., the presidential communications chief, said.
