UST FACULTY OF PHARMACY BRIEF HISTORY
The oldest in the Philippines, the Faculty of Pharmacy was founded in May 1871 by virtue of the Modification of the Moret Decree.  During the Spanish Regime, the course was one of six years.  In 1901, when the American Administration took over, the curriculum was reduced to four years.  Then in 1916 it was further reduced to three years until 1930 when the four year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy was re-adapted.  Finally in 1954, Pharmacy was made five years.  In 1984, the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy was reduced to four years again with the integration of some subjects.
The Faculty of Pharmacy continued to grow with the addition of courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology in 1958 and the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in 1962.  In both cases, University of Santo Tomas has gained the distinction of introducing these courses for the first time in the Philippines.  The Faculty of Pharmacy has the distinction of being the First College in the University of Santo Tomas to admit lady students in 1924.
In 1986, the degree of Bachelor of Science in Botany was offered in the Faculty of Pharmacy.

Trip to Amana Colonies:
The Inspirationists emerged in the early 1700s as part of the Pietist and Spiratualist movement within the Lutheran Church in Germany.  In 1842, 800 German Inspirationists settled near Buffalo, New York, and began to practice full communal life institutionalizing precepts concerning dress and lifestyle.  For economic and spiritual reasons, however, the group bought 18,000 acres in Iowa in Iowa in 1854 and called their new home "Amana," a word taken from the Old Testament Song of Solomon, which means "to remain faithful."
In 1932, the year of the "Great Change," the communal way of life was discontinued.  Strict regulations on dress and lifestyle have also been gradually eliminated.  Church life, however, continues with its spiritualistic pattern and simple form of worship, in unadorned meetinghouses.

Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Jesus

I have been instructed by our religious classmate Vicky (her TV channel is on EWTN always) to please pray this prayer daily.  According to her, it is a promise of our Lord to St. Bernard - whoever venerates and honor His Sacred Shoulder Wound will be forgiven of all venial and mortal sins.  How remiss of me! I'm always thinking of Jesus' 5 wounds only but not his shoulder wound (for carrying the Cross).
PRAYER TO THE SHOULDER WOUND OF JESUS
   O most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of thy Shoulder to which Thou didst bear thy heavy Cross, which so tore Thy Flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other Wound of Thy Most Blessed Body.  I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee and give Thee thanks for this most sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way of Thy Cross.  Amen.

I got a cell call Sunday night from Angie Cabreira in my answering machine.  I called her the next day and had a long chat with her about our own reunion plans and the good old days in college.  She was one of the Medical Technology instructors at the UST Hospital.  I told Angie my batchmate Myra of Maryland is the one planning a big birthday/reunion bash in one of the hotels in Manila and I'm not too sure of the exact date.  I said I just give the information and not the "organizer."  When things are definite I told her I will call her right away. She plans in organizing a small package tour for USTPMTBBAA members in late February and early March of 2011.  I forgot to ask her if Mila D'Bionic VP and Mrs. Gallardo will be attending the reunion in Manila.  In our chat she told me she visit the Philippines once and sometimes twice a year.
