TAGBILARAN CITY — A graduate of Bohol Island State University (BISU) here secured the ninth spot in the April 2023 Civil Engineers Licensure Examination.

Last Feb. 14, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) approved an ordinance extending cash incentives to Boholanos who make it to the top ten of professional licensure and the Bar examinations.
Board Member Aldner Damalerio, who authored the ordinance, said granting of recognition and incentives by the provincial government of Bohol to Boholano topnotcher(s) of board and bar examinations is one way of inspiring Boholanos to strive for greater heights of academic excellence.
“It is also another way of expressing gratitude to Boholano topnotcher(s) and their families for the admirable distinction and meritorious reputation they brought to the province of Bohol,” Damalerio said.
A Boholano who ranks first in any professional examination will be given P100,000.
Meanwhile, those who will rank second to fifth and sixth to tenth will get P75,000 and P50,000 respectively.
They will also be given priority in hiring for employment in the provincial government of Bohol, subject to the existing rules and regulations of the Civil Service Commission.
