TWENTY graduates  of the Benguet State University passed the recent Veterinarian Licensure Examination.

The university congratulated the new veterinarians — Alyssa Mae Carias Alberto, Kurt Dave Gadgadan Bannawag, Carlo Colinares Bandong, Michael Conrad Tang-Ey Borillo, Hannah Kirsten Cortez Borja, Mary Grace Kiso Botangen, Laurence Tipal Bucagan, Khawa Chawayen Chaokas, Balner Mayangao Damoslog, Vince Abram Langkit Dang-Iw, Anjo Calamcam Dumalsin, Evory Quiño Flores, Rose Amador Kacayon, Athaliah Jan Nonog Lagon, Jaypoy Ramos Lusterio, Lea Ticuala Liyo, Kane Ray Bolinto Maliones, Ricky Jurado Padul, Nelson Jr. Bagus Timbreza, and Nimfa Mae Lamnao Wakat.

During the flag raising ceremony, the new board passers were presented and recognized by Dr. Richard P. Dumapis, College of Veterinary Medicine dean.

He said that the new vets are proof that the BSU’s veterinary program works.

“The students are the living testimony that the program worked and they are also very appreciative of the support and prayers that the administration had given to them and we see that this is something positive that we can do for our graduates,” Dumapis said.

Dumapis also thanked BSU President Felipe Salaing Comila for his support to the examinees and for providing coaster to transport the examinees.

He reminded board takers of the Binadang Licensure Examination Extension Service for Students.

“Ang BLESS ay specific siya para sa mga magte-take ng exam to help them para wala silang iniisip kundi pumunta lang sa exam. We even provided a venue for their review and review materials. We also prepared their examination kits,” he said.
