PLM grad tops December 2025 physical therapists licensure exam

A graduate of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) achieved the top score in the licensure examination for physical therapists given earlier this month.

According to the Professional Regulation Commission, 1,198 out of 1,553 test takers passed the exam, given by the Board of Physical Therapy at test centers in Metro Manila, Baguio, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi, Lucena, Pampanga and Rosales.

PLM's Carmela Danielle Baldomero Alapide was the highest scorer with a 90.30% result, while the top performing school with 50 or more examinees is the University of Santo Tomas (UST), with 97 of its 99 test takers passing.

"The result of examination with respect to one (1) examinee was withheld pending final determination of his/her liabilities under the rules and regulations governing licensure examinations," the PRC added.
