TACLOBAN CITY — Four examinees from Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) here made it to the top 10 of the chemical technician board licensure board examinations.
The four were Shaquil Sebastian, Kristil Grace Amistoso, Jopette Maria Villas, and Jamaica Fiel.
Sebastian, in a phone interview, said he could not believe that he landed in the top 10.
“When my friends told me that I ranked number three, I could not believe it. I had to see the results myself,” he said.
“It was really overwhelming! I thought I was just dreaming. I immediately informed my papa and mama and they too were very happy,” said the eldest among the brood of four.
Sebastian, who is a scholar of the Department of Science and Technology and graduated as a cum laude together with the other three board placers of their school, said all the efforts he poured in during his reviews paid off.
“I was actually doing my online review and at the same time, working in a BPO (business process outsourcing). I just thought that I would not even pass the examination,” he said.
”I am so thankful to our Lord for guiding me during those difficult situations,” Sebastian added.
Lydia Morante, the university’s information officer, said they were proud of the four graduates who made it to the top 10 as well as those who passed the exams.
“We are proud of our performance. Even during the pandemic, our faculty continued its commitment and dedication to provide the best education our students deserve,” she said.
Of the 66 takers, 45 of them passed the chemical technician board examination conducted last October 19.
In 2021, EVSU also produced two top 10 finishers of the chemical technician board examination.
