Quizon, Colombo Plan Fellow and a research veterinarian with the Laboratory Services Division of the Philippines Bureau of Animal Industries, was photographed in 1959 while he was nearing the end of a four-month Australian tour during which he had been studying cattle diseases. In the picture above, Dr. Quizon prepares to carry out a blood test while being assisted by two bacteriologists from the Queensland Animal Research Institute, namely Mr. G. C.

The history of veterinary medicine in the Philippines discusses the history of veterinary medicine as a profession in the Philippines. Its history in the Philippines began in 1828,[1] while the Philippines was still a colony of Spain,[1] progressing further during the time when the Philippines became a territory of the United States, until the establishment of the Philippines as an independent Republic in the modern-day era.
