MSU has 31 topnotchers in board exams!MARAWI CITY - The Mindanao State University System (MSU) produced 31 top 10 passers, including two topnotchers, in 12 national board examinations conducted by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for 2008, a university official said yesterday.
MSU President Dr. Macapado Muslim said seven graduates from the MSU Marawi main campus and two from Tawi-Tawi landed among the top ten passers in the October 2008 licensure exam for Fishery Techonology.
An MSU Tawi-Tawi graduate, Yashier Jumar placed first, Cherry Nian was 9th, while the Marawi main campus graduates ranked third, fourth, fifth, ninth, and tenth.
Muslim added that the MSU main campus was rated the second top performing school in the Electrical Engineering, Nursing, Social Work and Fishery Techonology board exams.
The MSU Iligan Institute of Technology and the MSU General Santos City were this year's top performing school in Electronics and Communication Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
Graduates from MSU General Santos City swept the top 3 ranking while another ranked No. 8 in the Mechanical Engineering board examination.
Ronald Hidalgo ranked No. 1, Benjer Acosta, No. 2, Chanley Callano, No. 3 and Ralph Ian Lagunay, No. 8.
MSU Maguindanao graduate Allen Julius Declaro also landed third among top 10 passers in the board exam for Agricultural Engineering.
"Records would show that MSU strives to reap academic excellence in various national board exams besting older and known universities in the country. This is a feat I attribute largely to the quality of our faculty members and students," Muslim said.
Muslim, the 12th president of MSU, said the university also produced one of this year's Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines, Zakariya Tocalo Muripaga of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
A graduate of the MSU Siawadato Agricultural High School in Lanao del Sur, Muripaga, a 2008 Magna cum Laude, received his distinguished award from President Arroyo in Malacanang.
Apart from topping the exams in Electronics and Communication, Mechanical, Electrical, Agricultural engineering, Nursing and Fishery, Muslim said, MSU also topped in Social Work, Metallugical, Certified Public Accountancy and Master Electrician board exams.
MSU was created on Sept. 1, 1961 by Republic Act No. 1387, as amended by RA 1893, to hasten the integration of the cultural minority groups into the mainstream of the nation and socio-cultural and political life through public education.
Muslim, who has a Ph.D. and Master's in Arts in Political Science from the University of Hawaii as East-West Center Scholar, said the MSU's achievements were in line with system's vision to lead the university to higher levels of excellence and relevance under a 12-point Reform Agenda.
