Celebrating Excellence: A Remarkable Achievement in Environmental Planning
In an inspiring display of dedication and talent, a graduate of the University of the Philippines’ Open University (UP-OU) has made headlines by achieving the highest score ever recorded on the computer-based licensure examination for environmental planners. This momentous event took place just last month, and the news has left many buzzing with pride.
According to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), a remarkable 537 out of 555 hopefuls passed this challenging examination. Conducted by the Board of Environmental Planning across various locations—including Metro Manila, Baguio, Butuan, and Davao, to name a few—the exam tested the mettle of aspiring environmental planners from many regions.
Among these determined candidates, Teodorico Mariano Collano Jr. shone brighter than the rest. With an outstanding score of 90.3%, Teodorico’s achievement is not just a personal triumph; it symbolizes the hard work and commitment of all those who strive for excellence in their field.
But that’s not all! The top performing schools are also worthy of celebration. UP-OU, alongside its sister campuses UP Diliman and UP Visayas-Iloilo City, boasts an impressive 100% passing rate for their candidates, reflecting their commitment to quality education and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
This achievement does not just end with numbers; it resonates deeply, inspiring future generations to dream bigger and aim higher. In a world that faces complex environmental challenges, the role of skilled environmental planners has never been more important.
As we celebrate Teodorico and all who succeeded in this examination, let us recognize the passion and perseverance that drive individuals toward greatness. The journey has just begun, and the impact of their work will echo into the future. Bravo to our champions and to the institutions that nurture such remarkable talent!
