Four international standards, one commitment to quality
A major highlight was PHMC-LP’s achievement of four international ISO certifications, reflecting its commitment to continuous improvement and internationally recognized management standards.

The celebration also recognized Dr. Virginia P. Crisostomo for leading the successful Breastfeeding Congress and Dr. Nelia Frances Llanto for her leadership in attaining the four ISO certifications. Both received plaques of appreciation for their contributions during the anniversary year.
Honoring the people behind the legacy
An anniversary highlight video revisited the year’s activities, including the Run for Gold Fun Run, Wish Bus Roadshow, motorcade, Golden Bazaar, HMO Night, Breastfeeding Congress, and various awards and recognitions.
The event also honored awardees from PHMC-LP and the JONELTA School of Medicine, acknowledged alumni, and paid tribute to former hospital director Mrs. Cristina M. Consing.
