Graduates of our Sintang Paaralan once again demonstrated the University’s excellence in licensure examinations. The Sta. Mesa Campus was recognized as the Top 2 Performing School (with 30 or more examinees and with at least 80% passing rate) in July 2026 Master Plumbers Licensure Examination (MPLE).

According to the results released in July 15 by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), the Sta. Mesa Campus achieved an impressive 97.06% passing rate, significantly higher than the national passing rate of 78.68%.

This achievement continues the University's streak of strong performances in the Master Plumbers Licensure Examination (MPLE). Earlier this year, in the February 2026 MPLE, the Sta. Mesa Campus recorded an 88.24% passing rate, earning recognition as the Top 6 Performing School (with 10 or more examinees and at least an 80% passing rate).

Meanwhile, participating Campuses in the MPLE also delivered impressive results, earning passing rates well above the national average. This highlights PUP’s standing as one of the country’s leading institutions for aspiring master plumbers. 

This strong performance in the bi-annual MPLE highlights PUP’s commitment to producing competent, industry-ready graduates who uphold the tradition of academic excellence at the Sintang Paaralan. It also advances the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), through the University’s mandate of inclusive and accessible quality education.
