President Benigno S. Aquino III will be the Guest of Honor and keynote speaker of the 102nd Commencement Exercise of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine (UPCM) that will be held at the SMX Convention Center of the SM Mall of Asia on Sunday.

The graduation ceremony will be held simultaneous with the closing ceremony of the Philippine General Hospital’s post-graduate internship course.

Welcoming the President will be UP President Alfredo Pascual, UP Chancellor Ramon Arcadio, UPCM Dean Alberto Roxas, and UPCM Regionalization Program and Return Service Agreement Chairman and PGH Director Jose Gonzales.

The UPCM Class 2011 and the PGH Post-Graduate Interns Batch2011 are composed of 153 and 110 graduates from UP and from different medical schools all over the country, respectively.

The newest batch of medical practitioners has expressed their desire to emulate the President’s genuine leadership and service to the country in their respective practices.

The Philippine Medical School, forerunner of the UPCM was established by virtue of the Second Philippine Commission Act 1415 dated December 1, 1905, as a response to the urgent need for more doctors in the country.
