Nation grieves senseless killings
Released: 23 August 2010
Within only 3 days, the nation is shocked by ruthless yet senseless murders: first, of a young scholar of PLM's sister-university (UMak) who was fatally tortured in a brutal, gangster-like hazing and was dumped by those who swore to serve as his refuge thru brotherhood; and secondly, of foreign tourists and a disgruntled yet be-medalled police officer after a botched hostage drama that is merely a stone's throw away from PLM.
In the aftermath of PLM's tragic loss of its medical scholar, PLM sympathizes with the loved ones of the victims of the savagery of these equally-dreadful tragedies, even as the absurdity of such dastardly acts deserves the strongest condemnations from the community of civilized societies -- that such a stark inhumanity is grossly despicable, at the least, for being a threat to peace & order and to the sanctity of precious human life. PLM prays for justice and healing.

Seminal Concept
PLM is primarily a service-oriented institution. As such, the University has taken a milestone direction towards providing relevant services supportive of the scholarship needs of our scholars and their instructors. Among these is the beefing up of the Internet Station at the University Library.

At present, the Internet Station caters to the Internet needs of the faculty and scholars for free. Additionally, there are few units for composing articles and other academic pursuits aimed at substantially reducing, if not totally eliminating, the costs incurred by our scholars in renting at commercial cafés outside the campus.

To further stretch the scholarly benefits an extra mile and complete the range of benefits for our city scholars, a printing service has been established as another way of sustaining academic excellence.

It is believed that this will prove to be beneficial to the scholars and other important internal stakeholders of the University.
