Three individuals from Cebu secured spots among the top ten in the March 2025 Physician Licensing Exam.
On April 14, 2025, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced the outcomes. Out of the 3,827 individuals who sat for the exam across different testing locations, at minimum 1,901 candidates emerged successful.
Adrian Eleazar Go, a graduate of the Cebu Institute of Medicine
ranked Number 1
with a rating of 87.75 percent.
The other graduate from Cebu Institute of Medicine ranked Number 8. Jan Patricio Emmanuel Fernandez scored 85.92 percent.
A graduate from the University of Cebu, Angel Anne Ambayan, ranked Number 6. She scored 86.42 percent.
GMA Regional TV Balitang Bisdak recently spoke with the newly appointed physician in Mandaue City, who expressed joy over the positive development.
“Naay ni chat, congrats Top 6, [ingon ko] ha? Pag-sure uy. Wa ra jud ko gadahum. Tinood lang, its all God’s grace. When I saw my name it’s a dream come true,” said Angel Anne Ambayan, fondly called “Gea.”
Gea is the pioneering physician in her lineage. She mentioned that she found motivation from a medical practitioner who treated her during her youth when she was sick.
Akong doktor ang nagsanay kung pila kasakit, siya ay napakal ambisyoso sa pakig-aya niini ngadto sa mga pasyente. Gisulti ni Gea na sya nga isa ka among iyang miyembro. Nag feeling gyud akong pipiliin pagkausab mao jud niining trabaho ang gipangita ania ko.
When asked about her secret to success, Doctor Gea said one has to be persevering, diligent, and prayerful.
“Not a secret in itself, it’s about hard work and grit. It’s like the same as saying everybody wants to be a millionaire, but not everyone grinds to become a millionaire. The key to success is consistency and perseverance,” Gea underscored.
