Philippines is in need of more pharmacists, this is the common observation among business establishments indulged in dispensing and manufacturing drugs that ventured in publishing their job hiring even outside Bohol only to invite applicants.
The same observation is shared by Miss Eva Campeciño, dean UB College of Pharmacy, whose office continuously received phone calls and letters from managers of leading companies in the country, inviting graduates and passers of the university to work with them. According to Campeciño, the present trend in enrolment for 1st year pharmacy is increasing. Some of the new enrollees have previously enrolled in other courses.
At present, the demand for pharmacists is both local and abroad. Fortunately in the province of Bohol, Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (BSPharm) is offered at the University of Bohol. (L.A.Boncales)
