o my Bicol University family, two years and we’re still in this pandemic. The vaccines had arrived, vaccination continues but lives continue to be lost. Jobs are still scarce, the mental and health resiliency of many are hanging by the thread. The continuing surge in COVID-19 cases continues to prevent us from regaining any semblance of normalcy in education particularly in our mode of learning. This is the present situation we all find ourselves in and if we continue to look at this big situation we might drown from its darkness. After all, there are so many things done wrong in the world today. But what’s right with the world, our essential services have continued and this part of the Bicol University world, learning continues. Education is still the heart and soul of Bicol University’s existence. Flexible learning in the hands of our flexible, resourceful and resilient

wo graduates from the BU College of Engineering (CEng) ranked ninth in the September 2021 Registered Master Electrician Licensure Examination (RMELE). Asper Encinares, from Bulacao, Gubat, Sorsogon, and Jealou Clutario, from Libtong, Tiwi, Albay, both garnered an average rating of 87.50%. In an interview, Encinares shared her feelings upon knowing the results. “I was ecstatic. It was really unexpected. I headed straight to the list of passers and was satisfied when I saw my name there, but then I scrolled up and saw that I was included in the top 10,” she said. Likewise, Clutario said that he was also overwhelmed to think that they were in the same block for five years at the campus, and both of them aced the examination. Aside from topping the RMELE, Encinares also passed the Registered Electrical Engineers Licensure Examination (REELE), while Clutario is eyeing to take the test in April 2022. “I applaud her intelligence for passing the REE exam and placing [in] the RME exam at the same time this year,” Clutario noted. Bicol University produced 27 newlyregistered master electricians among its 39 takers, obtaining an overall passing rate of 71.79% against the 67.44% national passing

rate. Furthermore, the university hailed 18 new electrical engineers out of its 36 takers, garnering a 50% passing rate. The national passing rate for the REELE is 64.40%. Amidst the challenges set forth by the Covid-19 pandemic, Encinares and Clutario went on to take the licensure examination. “Due to lack of face-to-face review and financial difficulties, I had to review at home. It was a struggle because all kinds of distractions were present. Every time that the board exam was postponed, I was getting more and more frustrated,” Encinares shared. “Mahirap mag review during pandemic days; one of the struggles is that online ang review which requires some extra requirements like Internet and laptop or phone. Grabeng anxiety and disappointment, and yet, laban lang hanggang sa matuloy na ‘yung September 2021,” Clutario stated. The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) conducted the licensure exams in Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi, Lucena, Pagadian, Rosales, Tacloban, Tuguegarao, and Zamboanga. The REELE was held on September 5 to 6, with 1,668 passers out of 2,590 takers, while the RMELE was administered on September 7, with 1,506 passers out of 2,233 takers.
