BECAUSE they wear clinical-white uniforms, students of science-oriented colleges and faculties like Pharmacy, Science and even Commerce are hard to distinguish. Here is a guide to clear the confusion.
Pharmacy women wear a blouse with sport’s collar, plus a simple A-line skirt. Science women also wear a white blouse but with a pleated skirt.
Meanwhile, the skirts of Commerce women bear only one pleat.
The polos worn by the males of the Faculty of Pharmacy and the College of Nursing look the same, both bearing a pocket on the left chest and a slit in the back. But Pharmacy’s uniform has a vertical lining and bigger buttons.
The uniforms of male Science students have a horizontal strip where the nameplate is placed.
The uniform of male Medicine students is distinguished by its three pockets – one on the left chest, and two between the hips. Students wear a white polo which has two pleats held by a strip at the back.
Male students of the Faculty of Arts and Letters (Artlets) and Commerce may wear the same “polo barong,” but the difference all comes down to pleats.
The Artlet’s garb 10 pleats, with five on each side, representing the 10 programs offered by the Faculty. Commerce has three on each side, to signify its programs in Economics, Business Administration and Entrepreneurship. Raychel Ria C. Agramon
