2023 ALE 02

The University of the Philippines Mindanao (UPMin) architecture graduates continued their 100%-passing achievement in the June 2023 Architecture Licensure Examination (ALE) with 26 new licensed architects.

The Professional Regulation Commission and the Board of Architecture released the result of the ALE on June 15, 2023.

Architect and Prof. Isidoro Malaque III, the chairperson of the UPMin Department of Architecture, expressed his reaction to the result. “It was exciting that our takers maintained the 100%-passing rate,” he said.

UPMin's newly-licensed architects are Andrea Faye G. Adlawan, Joseph Dave P. Agustin, Tim Andre D. Atega, John Elmar R. Bebelone, Denise Louise M. Boiser, Frances Ianelle L. Campo, Lou Kimberly L. Colon, Cserah Marl G. Enano, Pauline S. Gabayan, Katya Claude E. Gojar, Reina Arantxa B. Gomez, Hazel U. Jumawan (magna cum laude, 2020), Awit J. Ledesma, Nicole Kate B. Maceda, Kimberlyn Faith M.
