Rose Pharmacy hosts 5th national summit in Cebu, nearly 500 pharmacists attend

Rose Pharmacy gathered nearly 500 pharmacists from across the country for its 5th National Pharmacists Summit held on October 4-5, 2025 in Cebu City.

The annual event brought together industry partners and pharmacists from across Rose’s network for discussions on emerging healthcare trends, patient care, and innovation in community health. It also strengthened synergy across teams and reaffirmed Rose’s commitment to service excellence.

“Our annual summit is about more than just updates; it’s about building a stronger network of pharmacists who can adapt, collaborate, and continue providing care where it matters most,” said General Manager Michael So.

This year’s summit honored 12 Exemplary Rose Pharmacists who have consistently demonstrated the company’s core values of resilience, ownership, sincerity, and empathy in their everyday work. Also recognized were 16 newly licensed pharmacists from the Rise at Rose Program, a scholarship and mentoring initiative that supports pharmacy students in reviewing for and completing their licensure exam.

Founded in 1952 in Cebu, Rose Pharmacy, Inc. was acquired by Robinsons Retail in 2020. It now operates 450 stores and continues to grow its presence across the Visayas and Mindanao.
