The University of Cebu (UC) continues its remarkable legacy of academic excellence, proudly celebrating two new topnotchers from the recent Real Estate Appraiser Licensure Examination. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the institution.
Honoring Excellence in Real Estate Appraisal
Mervic Dela Peña secured an impressive fifth place, while Thely Marie Capitan earned the tenth spot in the challenging national licensure test. Their outstanding performance was formally recognized in a courtesy call with UC Chairman Augusto W. Go. During the meeting, Chairman Go personally congratulated the achievers for bringing honor to the university and its community.
In a tangible show of support and encouragement, both topnotchers received cash incentives from the university. This gesture underscores UC's commitment to rewarding hard work and exceptional academic performance among its graduates.
A Sustained Tradition of Top Performance
This year's success is not an isolated event. The recognition of Dela Peña and Capitan marks the university's fifth consecutive year of producing topnotchers in various board and bar examinations. This consistent streak highlights the effectiveness of UC's academic programs and review initiatives.
Schools like UC invest heavily in comprehensive review programs designed to prepare graduates for the rigors of professional licensure exams. These topnotchers are often seen as the crowning glory of the institutions that nurtured them, validating the quality of education provided.
Cebu's Broader Landscape of Academic Achievers
The spirit of academic triumph extends beyond the University of Cebu. Other Cebu-based institutions are also celebrating their own stars. The University of San Jose-Recoletos takes pride in Jeowy Loloy Ompad, who placed sixth in the grueling 2025 Bar Examinations.
Meanwhile, the University of San Carlos celebrates its graduate, Atty. Jenefa Krysthel Joyce A. Franco, J.D., on her success in becoming a lawyer. Furthermore, Benedicto College highlights the accomplishment of Erlindo Sardual Andrino Jr., a topnotcher in the September 2025 Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), who brought distinct honor to his school.
These collective achievements across multiple disciplines paint a vibrant picture of Cebu's robust and competitive educational sector. They serve as a powerful inspiration for current students and a testament to the dedication of educators and institutions across the region.
