Advancing laboratory animal science in the Philippines: <scp>PALAS</scp> initiatives and partnerships leading to Asia Laboratory Animal Day 2025
As the Philippines celebrated the 2nd Asia Laboratory Animal Day (ALAD) last November 29, 2025, the Philippine Association for Laboratory Animal Sciences (PALAS) reflected on a year marked by growth, collaboration, and renewed commitment to ethical and scientific excellence in animal-based research. Throughout 2025, PALAS has continued to strengthen the laboratory animal science community by advancing education, capacity building, policy advocacy, and regional cooperation. These efforts underscore PALAS' vital role in shaping a culture of responsible animal research aligned with international standards.
