β€œWe felt a mix of emotions regarding the results of the board exam,” Engr. Genesis A. CasiΓ±o, the Department of Geodetic Engineering chair, said. β€œWhile we are happy for the success of those who passed, we also felt sad for their colleagues who were not as fortunate.”

When asked for his advice to the examinees, Engr. CasiΓ±o declared, β€œFor those who gave their best shot, but still weren’t fortunate enough, I am so proud of you. You've fought a good fight. May you not consider this a failure, but rather just a delay in achieving your dream. Please don't lose heart; instead, let this be a challenge for you to do even better in the next board exam. We'll come back stronger."

β€œFor those who feel they fell short in preparation, let this serve as a lesson that the board exam is not easy. It requires extensive preparation in various aspects, not just in reviewing, but also in mindset. Make sure you approach the board exam ready to fight and not just relying on luck,” he added. β€œAs for the results of the board exam, there's nothing we can do now. As they say, everything happens for a reason. There will be another opportunity, and I repeat, β€˜We'll come back stronger’."

Alongside the confidence of performing better in the next GELE, he assured that CET, through the leadership of College dean, Dr. Ruben A. Parazo, and with the encouragement of TAU President, Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson, will continue to make efforts to support its students and improve the passing rate.

With this recent achievement, TAU continues demonstrating its commitment to producing competent professionals who will positively impact their communities and the world.
