AN ALUMNA of the Visayas State University received P150,000 from the school for topping the Agriculturist Licensure Examinations given last November.

Naomi Grace M. Lancita, a graduate of VSU’s Plant Breeding and Genetics program, tied for the top spot with Rio S. Antion from the University of the Philippines Los Baños with a score of 86.83 percent.

VSU said that Lancita’s reward is three times more than what was given to topnotchers in previous years to show its support for its alumni.

Lancita is the third VSU graduate to clinch to top spot on the said exam following Marco D. Aragon in 2007 and Ella Hazel B. Estrada in 2021.

She is currently taking up her master’s degree at the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology.
