PANUNUMPA NG PROPESYONAL

Ako, si NEIL VICTOR O. PAJUGOT, ng (pook
na sinalangan, bayan/lungsod, probinsya)
ay taimtim na nanunumpa na itataguyod ko at
ipagtatanggol ang Saligang Batas ng Pilipinas,
na ako ay tunay na mananalig at tatalima rito;
na susundin ko ang mga batas, mga utos na
legal, at mga atas na ipinahayag ng mga
sadyang itinakdang may kapangyarihan ng
Republika ng Pilipinas; at kusa kong
babalikatin ang pananagutang ito, na walang
ano mang pasubali o hangaring umiwas.

Taimtim pa rin akong nanunumpa na sa
lahat ng panahon at pook na kinaroroonan ay
mahigpit akong manghahawakan sa mga etikal
at tuntuning propesyonal ng mga Medikal
Teknolohist sa Pilipinas, at marapat kong
gagampanan ng buong husay sa abot ng aking
makakaya ang mga tungkulin at pananagutang
iniatang sa isang itinakdang Medikal
Teknolohist.

Kasihan Nawa ako ng Diyos.
