Graduates of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) have once again showed the valuable education provided by the University through their remarkable performance in the June 2025 Licensure Exams for Architects (LEA).

Released by the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) on June 18, the PUP Sta. Mesa Campus posted an impressive 97.62% passing rate (41 out of 42 examinees)—remarkably higher than the National Passing Rates of 65.16% (1,352 out of 2,075 examinees).

This achievement, coupled with the University’s distinction as the top-performing school in the July 2024 LEA, further reinforces Sintang Paaralan’s reputation for academic excellence in molding aspiring architects.

Continued academic excellence
University President Dr. Manuel M. Muhi praised the new architects, emphasizing that their success brings honor and prestige to PUP.

“Pagbati sa ating mga bagong Arkitekto ng Bayan! Inspirasyon po kayo sa buong komunidad ng Pamantasan dahil pinakita ninyo ang diwa ng Tatak PUP—dedikasyon, tiyaga, at sigla sa pag-aaral—tungo sa pagkamit ng inyong mga pangarap.” Muhi stated.

(Congratulations to our new Architects of the Nation! You are an inspiration to the entire University community for embodying the spirit of Tatak PUP—dedication, perseverance, and passion for learning—in pursuit of your dreams.)

The University’s strong showing in the June 2025 LEA underscored its commitment to providing accessible, affordable, and quality education, strengthening its reputation as the country’s leading institutions for aspiring architects.

The licensure exams were held on June 11 and 13 in various PRC testing centers nationwide. Details regarding the oath-taking ceremony of the new architects will be announced later.
