HOUSE Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez congratulated the Doña Remedios Romualdez Medical Foundation for its stellar performance in the Physical Therapists licensure examination, topping the list of schools nationwide.

Two of the 10 top examinees in the board exams came from the Tacloban school — Dodievic Arma, who placed 5th, and Fatima Therese Doyon, who ranked 10th.

“It gives me great pride whenever a school in my hometown achieves a remarkable feat in any event. And Doña Remedios T. Romualdez Medical Foundation have made all Taclobanons proud by placing first nationwide in the PT board exams,” Romualdez said.

“It also gives me great pleasure to know that we have topnotchers in the city! This calls for a double celebration!” he added.

The Professional Regulation Commission said that 708 out of 1,026 examinees passed the board examinations for physical therapists given in June.

RTR registered a 92.11 percent passing rate as 35 out of its 38 board takers passed the examinations, making it the top school nationwide in the category of having 30 or more examinees.

It posted a 100 percent passing rate for all first-takers of the board exams.

“I congratulate the officials, faculty, employees and students of RTR for this wonderful achievement! It really goes to show the top-notch caliber of education in your institution. Keep up the good work of training excellence for years to come!” Romualdez said.

RTR was founded in 1980 through the initiative of Romualdez’s father, Leyte Governor Benjamin Romualdez. It was named after the governor’s mother, Remedios T. Romualdez.
