ADDU Grad Places 4th Nationwide, Posts 93.33% Passing Rate in Sept 2026 PSLE

Ateneo de Davao University’s School of Arts and Sciences (SAS), through its Psychology Department, posted a 93.33% passing rate in the September 2026 Psychologist Licensure Examination (PLE), well above the national passing rate of 87.50% reported by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). The exam produced 14 new Registered Psychologists from the university, including a nationwide topnotcher.

Topnotcher Leads ADDU’s Batch of New Licensees

Mrs. Yashina Monika Cabiles Bueza, RPsy, placed 4th nationwide with a rating of 90.05%, leading the university’s batch of new licensees.

The full list of new Registered Psychologists from ADDU includes Precious Faye Pascua Adegue, Genevieve Redido Almondia, Bueza, Jessica Ty Bulacan, Jinkee Bungaos Capote, Beryl Anne Bitayo Daquipa, Jeel Christine Canoy De Egurrola, Sheryl Caermare Jaque, Fatima Jennae Bogate Jereza, Mark Anthony Sanglitan Lumibao, Mark Briol Miscala, Roberto Ocampo Soriano, Lyndle Kevin Curato Sorronda, and Catherine Untalan Vital.

The examination, originally scheduled for 19-20 August 2026, was moved to 1-2 September 2026 after the PRC rescheduled it amid heavy rainfall from the Southwest Monsoon, following a recommendation from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.

The PRC has yet to announce the date and venue for the mass oath-taking of the new Psychologists and Psychometricians from this batch. The schedule is typically released a few weeks after results as a “Face-to-Face Oathtaking” advisory on the PRC website.

Under SAS Leadership

The results come under the strategic leadership of SAS Dean Dr. Nelly Z. Limbadan, RPsy, RPm, CSCLP; Social Sciences (SS) Cluster Assistant Dean Mr. Jerome A. Serrano; Psychology Department Chairperson Dr. Analyn O. Leysa, RPsy, RPm, LPT; and the Psychology faculty, staff, and students who supported the review and examination period.
