The University of the Philippines Sandigan is the premier youth organization of the UP College of Pharmacy that strives to foster a holistic environment in honing the leadership potentials of the youth and serve the Filipinos through socially relevant projects. 

The members of the organization uphold five core values: passion, dedication, excellence, service, and integrity. Amidst hundreds of trending topics and Facebook pages, UP Sandigan launched the I AM A PHARMACIST campaign empowering drug experts and pharmaceutical care providers. It aims to strengthen the image of the profession and pioneer an advocacy reaching thousands of pharmacists nationwide.

While the I Am A Pharmacist (IAAP) Facebook page has consistently provided infographics, the team has released more publicity materials on COVID-19 during the beginning of the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon. With the high reach of these posts, the page was able to aid in helping spread significant and reliable medical information and quell myths on the pandemic.
