PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

To all our PJP readers,

It gives me immense pride and enthusiasm that I invite you to read our third issue and the succeeding issues of the Philippine Journal of Pathology.

After quite a while, It was only 3 years ago that we have resumed the talk on publishing our own society’s journal and once it was approved even if we knew it will be difficult, we proceeded with the publication of our journal. Enormous brain storming and effort was done to come up with this journal and I believe you now see that effort reflected in each edition and in the impact it will have on the field of Pathology.

Our journey to the birth of this journal is not smooth considering the cost of publication plus the difficulty of acquiring articles to be published. The journal intends to publish case reports, review articles and most espiecially original research articles. Our objective is to reach all the pathologists and clinical practitioners, who are interested in pathology’s interesting cases, research activities and probably new techniques which helps us in updating our knowledge.

The PSP together with the PJP’s editorial staff welcome you to post comments related to the journal by sparing your valuable time and request you to send articles.

Finally I would like to thank the PJP editorial team headed by Dr. Mads Tandoc, his technical team, the authors and the well wishers, who are promoting this journal. We maintain that the standard policies will be followed and we remain open to comments and suggestions but most of all, we are most open to your continued support.

Thank you.

Bernadette R. Espiritu, MD, FPSP, MMHoA, MIAC

President, Philippine Society of Pathologists, Inc.
