“My sister was beside me that time and when I saw my name on the list of successful examinees, napabangon talaga ako tapos sabi ko sa kanya ‘Huy engineer na ako!’,” Osicos said about her reaction after seeing the results.
Another graduate from DLSL and one of the ECE exam passers, Angelo Lontoc, shared his advice for future exam takers, emphasizing the importance of knowing the basics, having a consistent schedule, and trusting in the outcome of your efforts.
On passing the exams, Lontoc said “Pinakamasayang araw ko na nung nalaman kong pumasa ako sa board exam. Hindi mababayaran ang luha at tuwa ng aking mga magulang […] at mga taong sumuporta sa akin,”.
