Maraming salamat po!

The Criminology Academic Leaders and Mentors successfully conducted a seminar on RA 11131 and Test-Taking Techniques with the theme “Start Early, Stay Ready: Building Future Criminologists for RA 11131 and Board Exam Success.” 🎓📚

The activity was spearheaded by John Francis Banilad, RCrim, together with the dedicated club officers who made the event possible. Special recognition to Master of Ceremony Dorothy Hannah Fe I. Dumagan, and to the team in charge of venue preparation and technical support: Catrina Albiso, Alexza Mae Dulla, and Catherine Joy Paulo.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our guest speaker, Mark Gil L. Malbas, RCrim, CCS, for sharing his expertise and valuable insights about Republic Act No. 11131 and effective strategies in preparing for the Criminologist Licensure Examination.

The seminar became even more engaging as the participants took part in an interactive session where the speaker provided a 10-item mock test based on a Table of Specifications, along with practical tips on how to effectively approach and overcome the challenges of the Criminologists Board Examination. This activity not only enhanced the participants’ knowledge but also strengthened their confidence in preparing for their future professional journey.

Special thanks as well to our documentation team, Angel Alvarado and Davejohn Patrick Auditor, for capturing the highlights of the event. 📸

Together, we continue to empower and prepare future criminologists starting early and staying ready for board exam success! 💙
