Sintang Paaralan once again sustained the University’s tradition of licensure examinations excellence when three of its graduates ranked among the topnotchers in the August 2026 Certified Plant Mechanics Licensure Examinations.
According to the results released on August 13 by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), three PUP alumni—Simon Matthew Patdu of PUP Taguig Campus, Mansueto Patenio Jr. of PUP Sta. Mesa Campus, and Johan Matthew Patdu of PUP Taguig Campus—ranked 2nd, 7th, and 10th respectively, with scores of 86.45%, 84.55%, and 84.05%.
Dr. Rhyan V. Molinar, Director of the PUP Taguig Campus, expressed pride in this accomplishment, noting that it is the result of PUP’s “strong commitment to academic excellence, quality instruction, and student success.”
“Producing top-performing examinees demonstrates that PUP Taguig's academic programs effectively develop the knowledge, technical competencies, and problem-solving skills required in the mechanical and industrial sectors,” he said.
He added that the campus has leveraged faculty expertise to ensure rigorous instruction, mentoring, coaching, and continuous academic support.
“The integration of technical instruction, practical learning, collaborative activities, competency-based assessment, and the CEREBRAL: Academic Excellence and Competitive Learning Program creates a supportive environment where academically promising students are identified, nurtured, and challenged to achieve their highest potential.” Molinar stated.
The PUP Taguig Campus Director congratulated the new PUPian plant mechanics for their hard work, sacrifices, and diligence in reaching this point, noting that this achievement reinforces the University's reputation as an institution committed to producing competent, highly skilled, and industry-ready professionals.
“The success of its graduates demonstrates the effectiveness of PUP's public higher education mission and strengthens confidence among industry partners, government agencies, parents, students, and other stakeholders. Ultimately, the CPMLE accomplishment goals will become a powerful benchmark of academic excellence and institutional performance, inspiring other universities and programs to pursue continuous improvement and excellence,” he added.
In addition, the PUP Sta. Mesa Campus and the PUP Taguig Campus achieved a perfect 100% passing rate during the examination, signifying continued licensure exams excellence.
This outstanding showing in the August 2026 CPMLE underscores the Sintang Paaralan’s dedication to developing skilled, practice-ready plant mechanics who embody the ideals of the University. The accomplishment also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4 (Quality Education), through PUP's delivery of inclusive, accessible quality education.
