There are almost 6000 takers for social work licensure examination last July 2017. Only 3,951 who passed. Serlyn Esquierdo-Sanson, officer-in-charge of the Social Work Department, said their department is very proud of all Sillimanians who passed the exam.

“Though we are quite happy with the results of the examination this year, it is still our major concern on how to improve the overall rating, especially when it comes to the performance of the repeaters” Sanson said.
