PRESIDENT’S PAGE

The Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery has transformed into a bastion of original local researches related to our 
specialty. It has gained international prestige for the past years and at present it is included at the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), 
ASEAN Citation Index, Health Research and Development Network (HERDIN) and Western Pacific Region Index Medicus (WPRIM). Both the Editor-
in-Chief Dr. Jose Florencio F. Lapeña, Jr. and Managing Editor Dr. Erasmo Gonzalo D.V. Llanes are working it out for our journal to be included at 
Scopus and PubMed Central. 

Our commitment to the academic community and global exchange of information are the touchstones of our publications. Hence, the 
Philippine Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery is committed to support and invest on activities pertaining to quest for knowledge 
and one of the best tool is through research contests and workshops. 

The Society’s 10 Academies representing the various subspecialty tracts are at the forefront of augmenting the research output of various 
training institutions. With our Fellows’ global collaborations, researches done by our foreign colleagues are published in our journal. With our 
converging efforts, the PJO-HNS will continuously soar high in the scientific community. The greater challenge now is for the society to be One in 
Research as One PSO-HNS. 

Mabuhay ang PJO-HNS!
