The provincial government gifted the five topnotchers with P5,000 each as incentive.
“Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nag-top ako kasi ‘yung makapasa lang talaga ang hiling ko,” Asuncion said in a television interview.
First time NLE examinees from UPang posted a 91.57 passing percentage to catapult UPang as the top-performing nursing school in Pangasinan for the June 2016 nurses’ board exam. (PIO)
