The Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) once again brought pride to the Adventist community as one of its graduates secured the fifth spot in the September 2025 Psychologist Licensure Examination. Danielle Elinore Ardeza achieved score of 88.95 making her fifth in the national licensure examination. The achievement not only highlights the academic strength of the university but also reflects its mission to train students for professional service rooted in faith and commitment to God.
The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced the results, confirming that 469 out of 541 examinees successfully passed, posting a passing rate of 84.84 percent. The exam was conducted on September 24–25, 2025, at PRC testing centers in the National Capital Region (NCR).
AUP leaders and faculty members expressed joy over the result, recognizing it as both an academic success and a spiritual testimony. “Excellence is not simply about numbers or ranks; it is about honoring God with our best,” said Southern Asia-Pacific Division Health Director, Dr. Lalaine Alfanoso. “We are grateful that our students are excelling academically while keeping Christ at the center of their lives,” she added.
The recognition of an AUP graduate among the topnotchers serves as an inspiration to current students and young Adventists across the Southern Asia-Pacific region. It reflects the university’s holistic approach to education—preparing graduates not only for professional distinction but also for a life of service.
As AUP continues its mission of “Excellence in Christ,” this milestone underscores the Adventist philosophy of true education, which develops the mental, spiritual, and moral capacities of every student. Beyond the honor of placing fifth in the board exam, the achievement points to a greater calling: to use knowledge and skills for the healing of minds, the nurturing of hearts, and the sharing of Christ’s love in a world that longs for hope.
