Southern Leyte State University rejoices in the remarkable achievements of its alumni, who excelled across multiple board examinations.

In recognition of his achievement, Southern Leyte State U awarded a cash incentive of P100,000 to Wowie S. Hayagan who landed 3rd in the April 2023 Registered Master Electricians Licensure Exam, leading 11 other new Mighty Kingfisher master electricians.

Hayagan was a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from SLSU-Main Campus who garnered an individual rating of 93%.

The giving of cash incentives to board exam topnotchers has been institutionalized at the university to recognize the dedication of the alumni and their mentors in pursuing licensure examinations. It also aims to inspire other Mighty Kingfishers in board programs to achieve academic excellence in their respective fields.

Aside from Hayagan, three (3) regional topnotchers during the Criminology Licensure Examination were also handed with a monetary recognition.

Bryan V. Mulaan, top 5 during the November 2019 Regional Criminology Licensure Examination, and Patrick A. Palen and Eralyn O. Destriza, top 3 and top 10, respectively, during the December 2022 of the same board examination, received a cash incentive of Php 10,000 each.

University President Dr. Jude A. Duarte extends his heartfelt congratulations to the successful board passers, while issuing a rallying call to all board programs of the university to strive for even greater achievements.

"I extend my warmest congratulations to our accomplished board passers. Your dedication and hard work have yielded remarkable results. I urge all our board programs to embrace this success as inspiration and to continuously raise the bar of excellence. Together, let us aim higher, push further, and achieve greater heights in our pursuit of academic distinction," Dr. Duarte said.

Mr. Hayagan shared valuable insights and motivational tips based on his experience as a top 3 finisher.

"Our success is not solely defined by rankings but by personal growth and continuous improvement. Let your passion drive you, stay committed to your goals, and never lose sight of the incredible things you can achieve. I have never been an honor student since elementary. What made me land at the top is my hard work and dedication. Lean not only on the strength of your intellect, but also on the unwavering commitment of your hard work. It is the combination of both that paves the way to true success,” Mr. Hayagan shared.

In recognition of Mr. Hayagan's remarkable top 3 finish, the Department of Electrical Engineering was awarded a substantial cash incentive of Php 100,000. This serves as a testament to their commitment to excellence and highlights the collective effort and support that contributed to this outstanding achievement.

The recognition was done after the flag raising ceremony on Monday, May 8, with Dr. Duarte personally handing the cash incentives, together with the Vice Presidents and the Deans of the College of Engineering and College of Criminal Justice.
