The DEPARTMENT of Physical Therapy of the Remedios T. Romualdez or RTR Medical Foundation has expressed pride in the remarkable showing of their students who landed in the top two spots and earned four places in the June 2024 Physical Therapists Board Examinations.

Jay Anthony Cañete, head of the PT department of RTR, said the achievement of their students is a big understatement to express how he feels about the monumental achievement.

Cañete said they are proud of the feats of Michael Nivera, Bien Yamon, Clarence Noguerra, and Sigfred Jay Bernales, the Top 1, 2, 8, and 10 achievers, respectively.

“Dito po sa PT department ng RTR, sobrang proud kami sa latest batch ng nag-take ng licensure exams, lalong-lalo na sa apat na nakatuntong ng Top 10. Hindi kami makapaniwala na pati Top 1 and 2 ay nakuha namin kasi we were just hoping lang na makapasa ang aming board takers,” Cañete said.

The RTR also registered a whopping 96.55% batting average for board passers, one of the highest in the country, as 28 of its 29 students passed the PT licensure examinations last June.

“Kaya malaki po ang pasasalamat namin sa Panginoon na we were able to compete with bigger and more established schools, especially in Metro Manila. Nagbubunga ang aming pagsisikap na makapaghatid ng de kalidad na edukasyon,” Cañete said.

Nivera, who earned the highest score in the licensure examinations with 91.95%, said he did not expect to be in the top spot of the exams, but he did burn the midnight oil in preparing for it.

“Dream come true po ito para sa akin. Nagpapasalamat po ako sa RTR dahil tunay na quality education ang aming natanggap mula sa pamantasan. Sobra lang po akong full of gratitude para sa lahat ng naniwala sa akin,” Nivera said.
