In celebration of World Pharmacists Day 2025, the Philippine Pharmacists Association Iloilo-Guimaras Chapter, in collaboration with the Young Pharmacists Group Iloilo-Guimaras Chapter, JPPhA–CPU Chapter, JPPhA–PHINMA UI Chapter, and JPPhA–Epsilon Chapter–Apothecarian Council, held its fourth annual “𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐙𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞” on September 27, 2025, at the Iloilo Freedom Grandstand. 💃🏻🕺🏻🪩

With the theme “𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡, 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭,” this year’s event was hosted by JPPhA–Epsilon Chapter–Apothecarian Council of the University of San Agustin and made possible through the generous support of various sponsors, notably, Pocari Sweat.

The festivities kicked off with a high-energy Zumba session led by Master G Bucana, followed by a vibrant parade that kept the excitement alive throughout the evening. To cap off the celebration, the crowd enjoyed an electrifying afterparty featuring DJ Franco Lao.

The event not only united the pharmacy community in promoting health and wellness but also celebrated the vital role of pharmacists in society, creating shared memories among pharmacists and future pharmacists alike. 💜💊

‎💊 For our pagod na Pharmates, here’s your midterm prescription: take your reviewers with food, mix with tiwala sa sarili, and never skip doses of prayers. 🩺💜

‎Midterms may test your limits, but remember — your determination and your dream of becoming a pharmacist are worth it. ✨ Sa gitna ng notes at reviewers, hanap-hanapin mo rin ang pahinga — because behind every pagod na Pharmate is someone chasing a dream that’s worth every sleepless night. 🙌🏻💜

Beneath the golden sun, a thunderous stomp quelled the raging sandstorm as the College of Pharmacy (COP) once again ascended in splendor—five years unbroken, five years crowned in triumph. In the University Week Street Dance Competition, drawn from the mystique of Aladdin, the air itself seemed to shimmer as COP’s dancers swept through the streets, their headdress gleaming like the promise of a wish fulfilled. The crowd did not merely watch, they witnessed a legacy in motion.

At the procession’s heart stood Carl Rodireck Resano, bearer of the mother headdress, continuing a legacy once carried by Jarold Nicole Manumbre (2023-2024) and Pauline Gel Dela Cruz (2018-2019). The headdress no longer speaks of fabric and glint of gold, but of finesse and devotion; a crown not won by chance, but by the spirit that refuses to falter. For half a decade, COP has not only adorned the streets; it has anointed them. And in that proclamation, the streets remembered that greatness, once kindled, burns brighter with every passing year. 🧞

The mind carries more than it shows. Behind steady smiles often lie unseen battles, yet we rise each day, searching for peace within. Caring for our mental health isn’t weakness—it’s quiet courage. 🧠

As we're celebrating our National Mental Health Month, may we replace silence with honesty and endurance with healing. When we speak openly and listen with compassion, we remind one another that no one walks alone. 💡

Together, we can turn survival into strength and begin to truly live.

Happy World Teachers’ Day to the extraordinary souls who transform knowledge into wonder🎊💜. You turn curiosity into courage and classrooms into places where possibility takes root. Every lesson you teach carries the quiet power to shape who we become. 📚

Thank you for standing at the front of the room and seeing more in us than we often see in ourselves. For the patience that steadies us and the faith that moves us forward. 🤞🏻

With respect and adoration, we dedicate this day to you🪻🌟

🌎💊 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 2025 💊🌎

To every pharmacist—today is for 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 🫵

For making sure every prescription is safe,�for the voice that guides patients through confusion,�for the steady hands that protect communities one dose at a time—𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 💜

History may not engrave your names in stone, yet your work is written upon every healed wound, every life restored, every tomorrow made possible. The world may look elsewhere for glory, but health itself points to you as its keeper. ⚕️

So let this 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 2025 ring like a clarion: health is not whole without its guardian, and healing cannot be told without its steward. To speak of health is to speak of the pharmacist—for where you stand, humanity itself stands taller. 🙌🏻
