    DLSU-Manila scores big in licensure exams

     

    Seventeen accountancy and engineering alumni grabbed the top spots in board examinations conducted by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) recently. Eight from the Accountancy Department and nine from the College of Engineering made it to the Top 20, with De La Salle University-Manila seizing most of the first 10 places.

     

    First placer Paul Michael Ang led the roster of successful examinees of the May 2006 Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Licensure Examinations. Other CPA board topnotchers from La Salle are Chloe Chizu Go (3rd), Ana Janice Esguerra (4th), Mary Josephine Tesalona (5th), William Benson Gan (6th), Michelle Ang (7th), Shirley Ann Mae Magtipon (13th), and Billy John Sia (19th).

     

    The University registered a 72% passing percentage, almost triple the national passing percentage of 24%. The feat catapulted DLSU-Manila to the No. 1 rank among the schools with 100 or more examinees.

     

    Graduates from the Civil Engineering Department likewise showed impressive performance in the May 2006 Civil Engineering Licensure Examination and earned six top rankings. These honors were reaped by Jeffrey Bernardo (2nd), Joel Cesarius Reyes (3rd), Harold Wayne Ratonel Cruz (7th), Mark Gil Constantino (15th), Dandy Sy (16th), and George William Hong (19th). The PRC recognized DLSU-Manila as the 4th among the top performing schools.

     

    Three examinees from the Mechanical Engineering and the Electronics and Communications Engineering Departments also landed in the top 10. ME's Brilliant Chua and Ferline Tanya Ong were the first and sixth placers of the April 2006 Mechanical Engineering Licensure Examination, respectively.

     

    Meanwhile, Klaribelle Obsum gained the 5th top spot in the April 2006 Electronics and Communications Engineering Board Exam. The overall performance of ME graduates in the board exam, earned for La Salle the number two ranking in terms of passing percentage among schools with 25-59 examinees. Eighty-eight percent passed against the national passing percentage of 45%.

    SMB could have (2) 1st Round Picks in 2006!!!

     

    Since a lot has been asking me about this, here's the info i got from the PBA office.

     

    The previous 3 team trade a year ago that sends Dale Singson to Coke & a FedEx 2nd round pick last 2005 draft, then FedEx(air21) acquired Gary David from Coke, Smb acquired either the 2006 or 2007 1st round pick of Coke. It's SMB's choice on what year will they excercise that option.

     

    Of course, Smb should take the 2006 pick since this batch is very deep in talent & the Beermen needs to refresh their Center/Power Forward spot.

     

    I just hope that this time coach Jong Uichico will be wise in choosing the players he will pick & not waste his golden opportunity to get a future franchise player for this aging team.

     

    Coke placed 8th last conference & SMB placed 7th, if both team falters again this conference then SMB might have the 2nd - 4th pick in next years draft.

     

    SLR was dead last, last conference.

     

    Then there's the lottery system on how to get the first seedings in the draft. Ala NBA, the worst & 2nd worst team in the standings will be pitted in a luck draw with the worst having 2 balls to 1 from the 2nd worst team.

     

    Bright future for SMB as well as good news for SMB fans!
