The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Board of Professional Teachers announced yesterday, May 12, 2026 the official results of the March 15, 2026 Licensure Exam for Professional Teachers (LEPT), with 14 out of 18 examinees from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig (PLP) successfully passing the exam.

PLP recorded an overall passing rate of 77.78 percent for the Elementary Education category where seven out of nine examinees passed the said exam. All three first-time takers successfully passed, while four out of six repeaters also earned passing marks. The institution’s national passing rate for Elementary Education was recorded at 56.03 percent.

Meanwhile, the Secondary Education category also achieved a 77.78 percent overall performance, with six out of seven first-time takers passing the test, while one out of two repeaters also successfully obtained a passing score. PLP likewise recorded a high overall performance for the national passing rate for Secondary Education, which stood at 73.10 percent.

Kristine Evangelio Sancho, a graduate of the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English from Batch 2024–2026, shared that the moment felt surreal, especially since she was not able to take the LET alongside her batchmates.

“Grabe yung iyak ko when I saw the screenshot and found out that my name was on the list of passers… It was such an emotional moment for me, especially because I was not able to take the exam with my batchmates before due to problems with my documents, so after months of waiting, finally seeing my name there felt unreal,” Sancho said.

When asked what she could say to future LEPT takers, Sancho encouraged perseverance and resilience despite uncertainty.

“Mga kapwa ko g**o, ALWAYS SHOW UP... Do it scared, do it uncertain, but never stop trying. I learned that success is not about feeling ready all the time. Sometimes, it is simply about continuing even when things get difficult. Passing the LET taught me that 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞. 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝. In the end, all the waiting, sacrifices, tears, and hard work become worth it once your moment finally comes.”

The new passers and the summary of the performance of schools were announced at the official website of the Professional Regulation Commission, 39 working days after the examination was conducted at different testing centers across the country. Successful examinees can verify their ratings online through their website.

According to the commission, the schedule for online appointments to obtain the new Licensed Professional Teachers (LPT) Professional ID and Certificate of Registration in NCR will begin on June 15, 2026.

PRC also emphasizes that successful examinees must complete their registration in person and sign the Roster of Registered Professionals.

𝙇𝙊𝙊𝙆 | The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig (PLP) staged simultaneous research and art exhibits on May 8, 2025 at PLP Facade and HM Cafeteria, showcasing students’ creativity, innovation, and commitment to sustainability.

The events featured AB Psychology students’ outputs that integrated research, art, statistics, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 10 groups presented “EXPEriment for Change: Psychology in Action for the SDGs” as their final assessment in Experimental Psychology. This is presented through assigned colors, acting as UN ambassadors while faculty members served as diplomats evaluating their work.

Organizer Mark Christian Francisco explained that the exhibit aimed to connect psychology with global challenges and its interventions.

“Last year, it’s mostly purely psychological interventions, now at least it’s more sustainable for change and encompasses research towards global challenges," he shared.

Meanwhile, freshmen AB Psychology students transformed the HM Cafeteria into a creative gallery following the title “When Art Meets Data: Visualizing the Mind in Metrics.”

The exhibit, a collaboration between Art Appreciation and Psychological Statistics, encouraged students to interpret data through design principles and artworks made with recyclable materials.

Mr. Francisco emphasized that combining art and statistics made learning more engaging for students.

"The more you’re trying to change the modality of learning based on their preference, the more likely they are to appreciate learning,” he added.

Through these exhibits, College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) demonstrated how psychology education can extend beyond classrooms—integrating research, creativity, and sustainability while giving students innovative platforms to express knowledge and advocacy.

𝙄𝘾𝙔𝙈𝙄 | The College of Nursing (CON) won the “Best Oral Presentation Award” during the Research Colloquium 2026 held on May 4, 2026 at the PLP Auditorium.

Sa bawat pagdiriwang ng Mayo Uno, malinaw ang isang katotohanan: ang lakas ng bansa ay nagmumula sa lakas ng uring manggagawa.

Sila ang nasa likod ng bawat produktong nalilikha, serbisyong naibibigay, at pag-unlad na ating tinatamasa. Sa kanilang pawis at sakripisyo, patuloy na nagsusumikap at tumatatag ang ating bayan.

Subalit hindi sapat ang simpleng pagkilala. Marami pa ring manggagawa ang nahaharap sa mababang sahod, kakulangan sa benepisyo, at kawalan ng seguridad sa trabaho. Ito ang hamon na dapat nating harapin bilang isang lipunan, ang tiyaking ang mga nagbubuhat ng ekonomiya ay hindi naiiwan at napapabayaan.

Kaya ngayong Mayo Uno, higit sa paggunita, ito ay panawagan para sa pagkilos. Palakasin natin ang uring manggagawa sa pamamagitan ng pagsusulong ng makatarungang sahod, ligtas na kondisyon sa paggawa, at tunay na proteksyon sa kanilang karapatan. Ang laban para sa dignidad ng manggagawa ay laban para sa kinabukasan ng buong bayan.

Kapag ang manggagawa ay matatag, ang bansa ay mas matibay. Kapag ang kanilang tinig ay pinakikinggan, ang lipunan ay mas nagiging makatarungan.

𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙍𝙔 | Sa Bawat Sakay, Pangarap ang Kasabay

‎Sa bawat kalansing ng baryang marahang naglalaro sa bulsa,
‎nariyan ang salaysay ng paglalakbay at sakripisyong dala-dala.
‎Bawat ambag sa pamasahe’y kapit sa hibla ng pag-asa,
‎iniisip kung sa bukas, may sapat pang maipantatawid kaya.

‎“Ang buhay ay di isang paligsahan,” bulong sa sariling diwa,
‎kaya’t ang kakapusan ay di tanikala sa mithing ninanasa.
‎Magaan man ang bulsa, di hamak na mabigat ang hangarin,
‎sapagkat ang pangarap ay landas na marapat tahakin at tupdin.

‎Tuloy ang pag-usad sa gitna ng siksikang walang humpay,
‎sa tren at dyip, sa araw-araw na pakikibakang tunay.
‎Pagod man ang laman, ang diwa’y di kailanman sumusuko,
‎pagkat ang pangarap ay panatang di maaaring ipagpaliban o isuko.

‎Sa bawat sakay at paghihintay sa lansangang walang katiyakan,
‎may hakbang na papalapit sa bukas na minimithing kahahantungan.
‎Di man hitik ang bulsa sa bawat paggising ng umaga,
‎ang puso nama’y puspos ng tapang sa pag-abot ng adhika.

‎‎Kahit salat sa salapi, di titigil ang hakbang sa paglalakbay,
‎sapagkat ang pusong masikhay ay sa pangarap lagi’t laging aalalay.
‎Di hadlang ang baryang bahagyang kinakapa sa bulsa,
‎kung dunong at determinasyon ang nagsisilbing ilaw at pag-asa.

‎Sa landas na matinik at kung minsa’y nababalot ng panglaw,
‎ang mithiin ay mananatiling sa puso’y nag-aalab na ilaw.
‎Kaya’t sa dulo ng paglalakbay na hitik sa pagsubok at hirap,
‎ang tagumpay ay makakamtan—gantimpala ng pusong matiyaga’t ang mararanasan.

𝙇𝙊𝙊𝙆 | The English Society concluded Literature Month 2026 on April 25 as the College of Education staged PLP's first-ever musical productions, Into the Woods and Encanto: The Musical at the university auditorium.

Performed by sophomore and freshman students of the Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English, this marked the first full-scale musical theater performance in PLP.

Into the Woods, performed by BSED 2A English under the direction of Maria Asuncion Daclag, combined the stories of classic fairy tale characters including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the Beanstalk.

Daclag described efforts and challenges encountered during its development. “Pioneering a theater play in PLP was like taking a risk to start something that wasn’t there before,” Daclag said. “It wasn’t an easy process because there were uncertainties, limitations, and moments when things didn’t go as planned. But what mattered most was that we stayed committed and trusted each other throughout the process.”

Meanwhile, BSED 2B English staged Encanto: The Musical under the direction of Dale Baluyo, portraying the story of the Madrigal family, emphasizing themes of belonging and resilience within family expectations.

Baluyo emphasized that the production aimed to inspire students and highlight self-worth.

“To the PLPians who witnessed our performance, we hope you carry this message with you: you are a miracle,” Baluyo said. “Believe in your own capabilities, regardless of what others may say, because real change begins from within. You hold the power to shape your own story.”

The event marked a milestone as the College of Education and PLP staged its first musical theater production—an effort organizers hope will open the door for more theater performances in the future.

𝙇𝙊𝙊𝙆 | The College Of Engineering (COE) held its first Hard Hatting and Pinning Ceremony on April 23, 2026 at the PLP Auditorium, marking a milestone for third and fourth year students as they formally took their professional oath.

Dr. Glicerio Maningas opened the program with remarks, emphasizing the role of an engineer in society and integrity in the profession.

Following his opening remarks, Engr. Jesus B. Secretario, an alumnus of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig, gave his keynote speech, presenting the Electronics manifesto, a guide for aspiring engineers.

32 third year students and 40 fourth year students were formally hard hatted and pinned during the ceremony.

John Ray Pocot, a third-year student and PSSC COE ambassador expressed his excitement about being part of the event. “Aside from being one of the first student Engineers na kasama sa First Hard Hatting and Pinning, I feel very happy since it is a history din para sa Engineering and sa PLP na rin,” he said.

Meanwhile, Integrated Electronics Engineering Student Society (IECESS) fourth-year representative Andrea Jein Adriano shared mixed emotions following the ceremony. “After the hard hatting, I felt really happy and blessed kasi finally malapit na talaga matapos yung journey namin as students,” she said.

She added that the moment felt fulfilling after the sacrifices and sleepless nights throughout their studies, while also bringing excitement and pressure as they prepare for professional responsibilities.

The ceremony continued with IECESS President Janella Clarize Mateo leading the Electronics Engineering Student Pledge, affirming the values and principles of the engineering profession.

Dean Engr. Godofredo Zapanta Jr. delivered an inspirational message, followed by closing remarks from Engr. Sherlyn Avendaño, Assistant Department Head for Quality Assurance and Accreditation, both highlighting the students’ perseverance and dedication.

“Ngayon na tapos na ang hard hatting, ang main focus ko is mag-prepare for the board exams. Gusto kong ibigay yung full effort ko sa review para makapasa on my first take,” said Ms. Adriano.

As the ceremony concluded, fourth-year students are now preparing for the board examinations, while third-year students are set to undergo their upcoming on-the-job training.

𝙇𝙊𝙊𝙆 | Dumalo ang mga g**o mula sa iba’t ibang kolehiyo ng Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig (PLP) sa seminar na ginanap noong Abril 20, 2026, sa PLP Banquet Hall na may temang “Reflect, Realign, Renew: A Behavioral Growth Seminar for Personal and Professional Development.”

Isinagawa ang nasabing gawain sa pagtutulungan ng Faculty Association at ng Lifelong Learning and Professional Development Office, na naglalayong palalimin ang kamalayan ng mga g**o sa kanilang papel sa loob at labas ng silid-aralan.

Naging tagapagsalita si Rev. Fr. Feliciano R. Gutierrez, kura-paroko ng San Sebastian Parish sa Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City. Sa kanyang talumpati, binigyang-diin niya ang kahalagahan ng pagsusuri sa sarili bilang pundasyon ng epektibong pagtuturo. “Before we can change our students' lives, we must examine our own,” ani Fr. Gutierrez. Dagdag pa niya na ang g**o mismo ang pinakamahalagang “powerpoint” sa loob ng silid-aralan.

Bilang bahagi ng programa, isinagawa ang isang aktibidad kung saan isinulat ng mga kalahok sa papel ang kanilang kasalukuyang nararamdaman. Layunin nitong tulungan ang mga g**o na makilala at maunawaan ang kanilang emosyon bilang hakbang tungo sa personal na pag-unlad.

Tinalakay rin ni Fr. Gutierrez ang ugnayan ng pag-uugali at panloob na kalagayan ng isang tao. Ayon sa kanya, “Behavior is often a symptom, not the root,” at “What you don't see in yourself may be what the students feel the most about you.” Binigyang-diin din niya ang kahalagahan ng pagninilay at patuloy na pagsusuri sa sarili.

Sa kabuoan, hinikayat ang mga kalahok na isabuhay ang patuloy na personal at propesyonal na pag-unlad upang higit na mapabuti ang kanilang pagtuturo at ugnayan sa mga mag-aaral.
