Civil Engineer Licensure Examination is Just “Basic” for Top 1 Passer

Board passer who snatches the number 1 spot in the recent Civil Engineer Licensure Examination called it “basic”.

A Facebook user by the name of Richard Pabroquez posted a snippet of a conversation he had with a friend who recently passed the civil engineer licensing exam. The new engineer’s Facebook post in which she referred to the board test as “basic” or easy has gone viral on social media and received feedback from internet users.

Richard inquired about the exam during the aforementioned conversation with his friend Carl Jervin Rivera Magtira. Carl Jervin boldly replied, “basic,” to Richard. Carl Jervin, a graduate of the University of the Philippines – Los Baos (UPLB), breezed through and won the November 2022 Civil Engineer Licensure Examination with a score of 95%.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) said on Tuesday that this is not the case with the 8,029 out of 20,407 exam takers who passed the test with a passing percentage of 39.34 percent. Magtira’s assertion is not surprising given that his university ranks second among the top-performing institutions with a 92.75 percent overall passing rate.

It trails the top-ranked University of the Philippines – Diliman (UPD), which achieved an overall passing percentage of 95.45%. In the meanwhile, on Tuesday, internet users enjoyed the aforementioned viral post.

Carl Jervin received a ton of respect and admiration from online users who said that these people are truly inspirational. Many even made the joke that the new engineer had no more intelligence to share with others. The aforementioned post has received over 184k reactions as of the time of reporting.
