𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒 | Bitter Seeds to a Sweet Fruit of Success

Passing the board exam is already a remarkable feat—but securing a spot in the Top 10 is a triumph that goes beyond expectations.

Mylin Cañete Cantila, a graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture at NORSU-Guihulngan Campus, defied the odds by not only passing the 2024 Licensure Examination for Agriculturists but also clinching a spot in the top 10 with an impressive average of 88.18%.

Driven by her passion for science, it started when she chose agriculture as her career path. She even recalls when an instructor asked her, “Ngano'ng ga-agriculture man ka, 'dai?” She simply replied, “Ganahan man kog science, Sir.” This simple yet impactful answer became her anchor as she embarked on her journey.

Like a seed coated by a membrane, Mylin is shy and prefers a quiet life. To maintain her grades, she dedicated herself to written activities in college.

“My greatest challenge was my mental health. After graduating in June 2022, I didn't immediately take the exam because I didn't feel ready and was under a lot of pressure. I was plagued by self-doubt,” Mylin shared, reminiscing about the draining times she had been through.

For almost a year, she took a break from social media, during which she got back to herself and focused on reviewing. Unlike others who adhere to conventional review methods, like enrolling in review centers, Mylin took a different route—she focused on self-review.

But it is not as simple as growing grass in the field. The hardest part of self-review is maintaining the discipline to keep going. Family obligations really consumed her as well. The guilt of familial responsibility haunted her, which made her venture to Cebu for work. Yet, after doing that, she realized it didn't align with her dreams and what she wanted to be.

“I lost track kung unsa akong ganahan, so nibalik ko diri sa Guihulngan mga June 2024, and I decided na magreview kog balik,” she shared.

With faith and determination, Mylin courageously took the three-day Licensure Examination for Agriculturists, even with uncertainties and intense anxiousness.

“After sa second day sa exam, naghilak gani ko galakaw padulong E-Mall kay lisod kaayo [ang exam],” she recalled. It was a moment of raw vulnerability—a glimpse into the emotional toll of the journey.

Yet, in the most favorable environment, the seed she had planted sprouted and flourished. Her perseverance paid off; not only did it grow, but it also bore fruit in the sweetest form—a sweet victory as a board exam topnotcher.

“Despite being an agricultural country, the importance of agriculture is often overlooked. One common misconception about agriculture is that it's just ‘mangguna ra,’” she pointed out, addressing the persistent stigma surrounding agriculture as a profession.

“To those aspiring agriculturists, I urge you to pursue this rewarding field, as our country needs passionate individuals who will promote food security, self-sufficiency, and sustainable agriculture,” she emphasized, leaving behind a reminder of the reality that our country has been experiencing for many years.

Mylin's story is a testament that if we plant the seed of passion, water it with perseverance, nurture it with determination, and let it grow with humility, it will flourish and bear the fruit of sweet success. Her journey reminds us that even the quietest seeds can bloom into the most inspiring harvests.

10 July 2025 | Online Review Classes for the 𝐋𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 (𝐋𝐄𝐀)

We’re grateful to share that today marks the official start of the EXCEL𝐋𝐄𝐀RATE 2: Review and Strategy Program for the Licensure Examination for Agriculturists (LEA) — a meaningful initiative launched in collaboration with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) under Memorandum No. 517, s. 2025, and implemented through an approved project of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).

This online review program is part of 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐦 𝐎𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨. 𝟓𝟏𝟕, 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, and supports the Commission’s initiative to enhance the board exam performance of agriculture graduates. It is exclusively offered to 𝟐𝟔 selected Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) nationwide — and we are truly honored that NORSU-Guihulngan is the lone HEI chosen from the Negros Island Region (NIR).

Today’s activities included an 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦 (𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭), designed to help our reviewees assess their current strengths and identify areas for growth. From here, we begin a shared journey — one rooted in learning, support, and a strong commitment to the future of agriculture.

To our reviewees: this opportunity is yours to embrace. Let’s move forward together — with curiosity, resilience, and purpose. 🌾💪📚

"𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐬-𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬"

This Women’s Month, we celebrate the hardworking women who don’t just plant and harvest, but also nurture hope, resilience, and change in our farming communities. For so long, agriculture was seen as a man’s world, but the women of CAFFamilia have proven otherwise. They wake up before the sun, work through the heat, and push through exhaustion—not just to grow food but to build a better future for their families and communities.

Through our extension program, "𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧", in partnership with the Sr. San Roque Farmers Association in Barangay Dayoyo, Jimalalud, Negros Oriental, these women have taken on the challenge of transforming water-logged land into thriving, productive farms. They’ve learned new climate-smart techniques, adapted to unpredictable conditions, and shown the world that strength isn’t about muscle—it’s about heart, grit, and determination.

They are more than just farmers. They are mothers, daughters, sisters, and leaders. They balance farm work with raising children, managing households, and standing side by side with men—not behind them. Every seed they plant is a symbol of resilience, every harvest a victory over hardship.

So this Women’s Month, let’s not just acknowledge their hard work—let’s celebrate their spirit. Because when women thrive in agriculture, entire communities flourish. 💜🌿👩‍🌾
