“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.
Out of the 29 RTR graduates who took the exam, 28 passed, highlighting the institution’s commitment to providing high-quality education.
