Davao de Oro State College celebrated the achievements of its licensure examination passers from all campuses through a College-wide Recognition Program today, September 8, 2025, at the DDOSC Activity Center.

The event honored the successful passers of the Board Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (BLEPT), Criminology Licensure Examination (CLE), and Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Licensure Examination (ALE) from 2023 to 2025.

Within the three-year period, DDOSC produced a total of 953 BLEPT passers, 110 CLE passers, and 18 ALE passers across all campuses, showing the institution’s commitment to academic excellence and quality instruction.

Meanwhile, DDOSC’s Queen Mother, Davao de Oro First District Representative Hon. Maria Carmen S. Zamora-Mabanglo, graced the event and congratulated the attendees.

In her message, she urged the newly licensed professionals to become positive influences in their communities and Davao de Oro and to contribute meaningfully to the growth and progress of Davao de Oro and the nation.

“The best journey in life is not just finishing college or getting your degree; the real value is in the field, as a member of the community. I hope you bring with you that expectation, along with the lessons and values you learned at Davao de Oro State College.”

Additionally, DDOSC President Dr. Lilybeth M. Matunhay reminded the attendees to stay grounded, remember their ‘roots’, and continue embodying the core values instilled in them during their journey at the College.

The activity also honored the five BLEPT topnotchers since 2023, including Jemima Keziah N. Castro (Top 3, 2024), Kailah Marie L. Espina (Top 9, 2024), Jade Tumimang (Top 5, 2023), Cheney C. Morre (Top 8, 2023), Raven P. Telin (Top 10, 2023), and Jiselle O. Ayonan (Top 10, 2023).
