THANK YOU, CHED! | Commission Congratulates UE, CDent, Topnotchers

The Commission on Higher Education-National Capital Region (CHED NCR) has officially congratulated the University of the East in writing for its remarkable performance in the recently concluded licensure examination for dentists.

Addressed to UE President and Chief Academic Officer Zosimo M. Battad, the letter by Atty. Marco Cicero F. Domingo, CESE, CHED NCR Director III and officer in charge of the Office of the Director IV, “warmly congratulates your esteemed institution” for being recognized as one of the higher education institutions with successful examinees who garned Top 10 places in the November-December 2025 licensure examination for dentists.

The greeting comes after two graduates of the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program of the UE College of Dentistry, Dr. Irish Kyle Katipunan Mateo and Dr. Dominic Russel Navarro Santos, emerged as the said exam’s lone 1st Placer and 4th Placer, respectively.

“This outstanding achievement, “Atty. Domingo’s letter continues, “is a reflection of your institution's commitment to academic excellence, quality instruction, and the holistic development of your students. Your dedication to upholding the highest standards of education greatly contributes to the professional and personal success of your graduates and strengthens the country’s workforce.”

Through the CHED NCR missive, Atty. Domingo adds that “We commend your administrators, faculty, and students for this remarkable accomplishment and express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued efforts in advancing the higher education sector... Again, congratulations and may you continue to inspire excellence among future generations of Filipino professionals.”

The letter, dated January 8. 2026, preceded the recent celebratory bonfire held at the UE Manila Quadrangle last January 12, a University tradition over the last seven decades to commemorate the yielding of a 1st Place examinee in any of the licensure exams conducted by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and other licensure exam administrators.

The photo here by Lyric Studio shows Dr. Mateo and Dr. Santos (6th and 7th from right) with UE President Battad, President Emeritus Ester A. Garcia, Trustee and UERMMC Vice Chairman Wilson T. Young, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Florence O. Siy, UE Caloocan Chancellor Victor R. Macam Jr., UE College of Dentistry Dean Iluminada L. Viloria, Associate Dean Phides P. Alcorta and other UE CDent officers.

Thank you, Atty. Domingo and CHED NCR!

Congratulations and kudos anew, UE College of Dentistry and to our Warrior 1st Place Topnotcher, as well as our Warrior 4th Place Topnotcher and your fellow brand-new Warrior Dentists!

*CONGRATULATIONS, NO. 1 & NO. 4 WARRIOR TOPNOTCHERS | UE College of Dentistry Produces 1st Place, 4th Place Topnotchers in Latest Licensure Exam!*

The University of the East College of Dentistry has produced not one but two topnotchers in the recently concluded licensure examination for dentists—led by 1st Place topnotcher Irish Kyle Katipunan Mateo, who bested all examinees nationwide with an overall rating of 87.73%!

A July 2025 UE CDent Doctor of Dental Medicine graduate, Cum Laude, Dr. Mateo is joined in the top 10 by fellow July 2025 graduate Dominic Russell Navarro Santos, whose own overall DLE 2025 rating is not far behind at 86.57%.

These two brand-new Warrior topnotchers are among the newest batch of 61 UE College of Dentistry graduates to have passed the Dentist Licensure Examinations.

In addition, UE CDent emerged as the second highest-ranking dental school in the latest DLE that fielded 50 or more examinees and attained at least 80% as overall passing percentage: A total of 61 (out of 62) UE Doctor of Dental Medicine graduates passed the exam, making for a 98.39% passing percentage.

Among its latest batch of first-time examinees, UE CDent attained a 98.25% first-timers passing percentage as 56 out of 57 first-time takers passed the latest DLE.

Meanwhile, all five of UE CDent’s DMD graduates who were exam re-takers passed the latest DLE, making for a 100% repeaters passing percentage.

A total of 33 dental schools nationwide were represented by the 1,474 examinees across the country that took the latest DLE as administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Board of Dentistry last November 24-26 for the theoretical phase and last December 1-6 for the practical phase. Of those examinees, 1,282 passed the exam, making for a national overall passing percentage of 86.97%.

The UE College of Dentistry in effect bested all three national passing percentages of the latest DLE: in terms of overall passing percentage (98.39% vs. 86.97%), first-timers’ passing percentage (98.25% vs. 93%) and re-takers’ passing percentage (100% vs. 70.90%).

2025 BAR EXAMS
Congratulations!

#2025BarExam #AMYingForExcellence #UELaw #warriorlawyers ... See MoreSee Less

*UE scholar among 2025 bar topnotchers*

The University of the East (UE) proudly celebrates its 2025 bar examination passers, led by two graduates who placed among the top performers, reaffirming UE's longstanding tradition of excellence in legal education.

Leading UE's successful bar candidates are Patric Kiel Quiroz Navarro, who ranked 12th, and Ronald Vincent Ofrecio Gonzales, who placed 20th in the recently concluded bar examination.

Navarro, who had worked at an IT company before taking up law, shared that he was a court staffer when the results were released and that becoming a lawyer had been a lifelong dream. As the first lawyer in his family, he said the achievement carries a deeper sense of purpose.

"Everything seemed surreal. I still can't believe that my name was called among the topnotchers in this year's bar examination. I am very grateful for all the blessings He has given me," Navarro said.

“It may sound cliché but being a lawyer has long been a dream of mine. Before I took the bar exam, I promised the Almighty that if He willed me to be a lawyer, I will be of service to the public, the needy, and the underprivileged. By God's grace, I was able to pass the bar to fulfill that promise and will be forever grateful to the University of the East,” he added.

A former delivery rider turned UE College of Law scholar and student leader, Gonzales credited his success to faith, mentorship and institutional support.

"Above all, I am profoundly grateful to the Almighty, who guided me throughout my law school journey and during the bar examination. I extend my deepest appreciation to my professors, whose guidance enabled us to achieve our aspirations," Gonzales said.

He also expressed gratitude to his family and the UE College of Law for granting him a scholarship that helped sustain his legal education.

"I acknowledge with immense gratitude the University of the East for accepting me into the College of Law and for granting me a scholarship that significantly assisted with my educational expenses. I am equally grateful to my mother and sibling, whose unwavering support and guidance helped me overcome this challenge," Gonzales added.

Before beginning his law studies, Gonzales worked as a delivery rider and struggled to balance work and school. Becoming a UE College of Law scholar not only eased his family's financial burden but also allowed him to serve as president of the UE Law student government, demonstrating leadership both inside and outside the classroom.

Gonzales aspires to join public service through the Public Attorney's Office to serve those "deprived of privilege and justice."

Meantime, UE College of Law Dean Viviana Paguirigan lauded the achievements of all UE bar passers, underscoring the values that shaped their success.

“This feat is a testament to the discipline, perseverance and faith that they carried on their journey. We take pride in their remarkable achievement and look forward to the meaningful contributions they will make to the legal profession and to society," Paguirigan said. (END)
