PUP remains on top of the engineering field as ten (10) graduates topped three different licensure examinations held last month. PUP Sto. Tomas took the top spot among different schools and universities for the Electrical Engineering Licensure Examinations, while PUP Sta. Mesa secured the fourth place.

“Napakalaking karangalan ito para sa ating pamantasan, sa ating mga guro at mga kawani, at lalo na sa mga mag-aaral na nagsumikap at nagtiyaga upang maabot ang kanilang mga pangarap. Ito ay isang tagumpay na hindi lamang natin pinagdiriwang para sa ating mga graduates, kundi para sa buong PUP community. Sa mga bagong lisensyadong Electronic at Civil Engineers, Electrical Engineers at Electrical Technicians, nais ko pong ipaabot ang aking pagbati sa inyo,” President Manuel M. Muhi shared in his monthly flag raising address to the community.

The topnotchers’ list
Jayron Tayurang Mampusti from PUP Sta. Mesa led the April 2023 Electronics Technicians Licensure Examination, while Angelo Madrinal Floralde from PUP Sta. Rosa took the third spot for the same exam. The fourth place was shared by Joshua Japitana Diaz (PUP Sta. Mesa), Rowin Edward Evangelista Quindoza (PUP Sta Mesa), and John Lester Pernan Umali (PUP Maragondon).

Gabriel James Manalo Tecson from PUP Sta. Mesa snared the second place in the Electronics Engineers Licensure Examination. In the field of Civil Engineering, Irvin Lester Dato Binondo from PUP Sta. Mesa secured the sixth spot while Daniello Amoroso Camilon finished in ninth place.

PUP Sto. Tomas obtained two spots in the Electrical Engineer Licensure Examination. Troy Fellone Mazaredo placed second, and sweeping the tenth place was his fellow, Joshua Artillaga Abenojar.

University pride
As a fellow engineer and product of the same college, the President expressed his admiration for the new breed of professional engineers. He beamed with pride as he told the community that the university does not only consistently top engineering licensure examinations, but also produces the largest number of professional engineers in the country.

“Nais ko pong ipabatid sa inyo na hindi lamang tayo nagta-top sa board exams, kundi tayo rin po ang may pinakamalaking bilang ng mga napo-produce na licensed engineers kumpara sa ibang higher education institutions. Kulang-kulang 200 lisensyadong inhinyero – civil, electrical engineer, electronics at iba, ang ating napo-produce kada taon. Number one po tayo!” he exclaimed.

There is no doubt that the PUP Engineering community brims with joy for these sustained achievements. The President also specially mentioned the consistent and excellent performance of PUP Sto. Tomas in Batangas. For the past years, the branch exceeded the 80% passing percentage for engineering licensure examinations, making it a viable higher education institution in the province and across Southern Luzon.
