The Philippine College of Surgeons (PCS) was organized by a small group of thirty-five distinguished pioneering surgeons led by Dr. Gregorio T. Singian on September 12, 1936. Upon the approval of its by-laws on October 10, 1936, the organization embarked on its avowed mission of elevating the standards of surgical practice in the country. It aimed at the attainment of greatness through unselfish men dedicated to service, especially the healing of patients, and in the further unceasing search for the elusive surgical secrets that benefit humankind, and the continuous professional update of its members.
The Board of Regents met regularly until August 29, 1941 when World War II temporarily interrupted its activities. After the war, with normal conditions being slowly re-established, the first regular scientific meeting was held on March 30, 1946 at the Guanzon Memorial Hall of the Philippine General Hospital. In July of that year, the first medical specialty journal called the Philippine Journal of Surgery was published. The journal was adopted by other surgical specialties until it was finally named the Philippine Journal of Surgical Specialties (PJSS), a name still being used up to the present time. There was no looking back for the PCS from then on.

  • This is not a school. It is an organization of trained, certified surgeons in the Philippines
  • I used to work in Skin and Scalp Clinic inside this building (1994-2003), according sa boss ko, hindi ito pwedeng ibenta kasi donation itong building na ito para sa society or post training ng mga surgeons, kaya mura din ang upa nila, kahit minsan matumal ang pasyente, ok lang. Maraming beses na rin itong inofferran ng SM ng malaking halaga para makuha pero still hindi pa rin pumayag.
