“As Dean of CAMS, I am proud to share that our graduates performed very well in the November 2025 Pharmacists Licensure Examination,” Prof. Kay Ann Tongol beamed. “Malayo pa tayo, pero malayo na. Kudos to our new pharmacists!” she added.

Nationwide, PRC data show that 3,670 out of 4,555 examinees from 121 higher education institutions passed the November 2025 Pharmacists Licensure Examination.

The BS in Pharmacy, along with the other programs of the University offered at the College of Allied Medical Sciences (CAMS), recently underwent a Level 1 accreditation visit from the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) on November 19 and 20, 2025, as part of WUP’s ongoing commitment to quality education.

Notably, the accreditors recognized the performances of the CAMS programs in the various licensure examinations, noting that they were ‘consistently above the national average.’

“We remain committed to maintaining high academic standards, enhancing experiential learning, and preparing competent and ethical pharmacists who serve with character, service, and scholarship,” Dean Tongol affirmed.

This was corroborated by Prof. Melvin Reyes, BS in Pharmacy Program Head, stating their commitment to strengthening WUP’s pharmacy program by nurturing graduates who are not only skilled practitioners but also God-fearing, globally competitive, and prepared to become future educators and clinicians.
“By integrating spiritual growth, ethical values, and professional excellence, we aim to develop pharmacists who serve with integrity, compassion, and purpose.

We also proudly welcome students from other schools, standing firm in our belief that at WUP, we make ‘the impossible, possible’ by continuously enhancing our curriculum, partnerships, and support system so students can reach their full potential,” Prof. Reyes further explained in conclusion.
