Three Diploma in Midwifery (DM) graduates from the UP Manila School of Health Sciences (UPM-SHS) were among the top ten passers of the April 2024 Licensure Examination for Midwives, as announced by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) on May 6.
Samantha May Aglit Torcuan, who belongs to DM Batch 11 of UPM-SHS Baler, Aurora, got the second highest exam score at 91.60%. Decemya Wawey Amayag, also from the same batch, was in fourth place with a passing mark of 90.60%. Suhaila Abdulbayan Akmad, member of UPM-SHS Koronadal, South Cotabato’s DM Batch 8, ranked eighth with a score of 89.8%.
The PRC results show the school for Torcuan, Amayag, and Akmad as “University of the Phil. School of Health & Sciences-Leyte”—the eighth top performing school in the April exam given by the Board of Midwifery. Forty-eight of its 57 listed examinees passed, which translated to a passing percentage of 84.21%. The results also indicate that two examinees from “University of the Philippines-Manila” and one from “University of the Philippines-Visayas-Tacloban City” passed the exam.
