Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants UZ Chapter

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS MAY CPALE TAKERS 2026 🎉

Becoming a Certified Public Accountant is no small feat, it takes months of sleepless nights, endless practice sets, and an incredible amount of grit. Passing the May 2026 CPALE is a massive milestone, and both of them have earned every bit of that "CPA" title.

It’s clear testament that their hard work is already leaving a lasting legacy and giving their UZ JPIAN juniors at the School of Business and Management (SBM) a blueprint for success.

May they continue to shine bright, uphold the highest integrity in the profession, and always carry that proud SBM Wildcat spirit wherever their careers take them.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒, 𝐂𝐏𝐀 𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐒!

Universidad de Zamboanga - School of Business and Management (UZ - SBM) proudly celebrates the success of our newly licensed Certified Public Accountants. Your achievement reflects your dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence.

May this milestone be the beginning of a rewarding career filled with purpose, integrity, and success. Congratulations on this well-deserved accomplishment.

She grew up on an island where the sea meets layers of history — and she turned that into a life most people only dream about.

Meet 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝘆. 𝗬𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗽 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗱, CPA — lawyer, certified public accountant, university professor, and the warm voice behind the beloved online persona, 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗬𝗮𝗻𝗴. Born and raised in Basilan, she carries two proud heritages: her father is 𝗧𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗴, from the seafaring, scholarly people of the Sulu Archipelago — and her mother belongs to the 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶, an indigenous coastal people deeply woven into the fabric of Basilan and Sulu. The Junaid name itself runs deep, tracing back to the Al-Junaid Arab clan lineage, one of the ancestral threads in the Islamization of the Sulu region.

Yasmeen didn't just study hard — she studied smart and she studied twice. She cleared the Philippine CPA Licensure Examination in 2012, then went on to earn her Juris Doctor from Silliman University College of Law, where she competed in the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 and brought home the 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. After passing the Philippine Bar, she became something genuinely rare: a fully licensed CPA and Attorney-at-Law in one.

Today, she channels all of that into her students at 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗱 𝗱𝗲 𝗭𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮, where she teaches law and accounting, leads the 𝗝𝗣𝗜𝗔 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿, and mentors the next generation of Mindanao's professionals — one board examinee at a time.

But what her thousands of online followers know best is Teacher Yang — the version of her that shows up on Facebook and says the quiet parts out loud. The burnout. The self-doubt. The imposter syndrome that hits even the most credentialed among us. She writes in that deeply Filipino hugot style — honest, a little heartbreaking, always human — reminding her community that it's okay to move at your own pace.

A daughter of 𝗧𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. A 𝗖𝗣𝗔. A 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘆𝗲𝗿. A 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿. A 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿. Atty. Yasmeen Latip Junaid is all of these — and BangsamoroPedia is proud to have her story on the record.
