Proudly Filipino!

The Philippine College of Physicians (P*P) Textbook of INTERNAL MEDICINE Volumes One and Two is oriented to the characteristics of the Filipino patients and to the needs of the physicians caring for them. This textbook is meticulously crafted by the editors with the aim to (1) characterize disease epidemiology according to local and regional data; (2) describe the pathophysiology and genetic characteristics of diseases according to local data; (3) discuss the presentation of common and stereotypical diseases among Filipino patients with emphasis on their specific characterization; and (4) contextualize disease management based on local data and systems of care.

This unprecedented textbook propels P*P a long way in pursuit of its mission of “being the leading resource of education and information to all internists” in the Philippines.

The first World AIDS Day took place in 1988, providing a platform to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS and honor the lives affected by the epidemic. This year marks the 35th commemoration of this important day. Over the past 35 years, there has been significant progress in addressing HIV and AIDS thanks to advancements in medical research, increased access to treatment and prevention, and a broader understanding of the virus.
