MANILA – Ranking seventh in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) secondary level was not a walk in the park for Franz Ian Dominguez Solomon of West Visayas State University (WVSU).
Solomon posted a rating of 91.80 in the LET administered on September 2017 by the Professional Regulation Commission. The results were released on Monday.
According to this Bachelor of Secondary Education (Major in Biology) summa cum laude graduate, he attended various LET review sessions.
“These included review sessions during weekdays at WVSU, weekends at a review center and my self-paced online review,” said Solomon, a resident of Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo.
After graduating from college, he did not apply for work right away to prepare for the LET.
“Part of my formula was prayers. My classmates and I would visit different churches every Saturday after our review class to pray,” said Solomon.
But becoming a teacher was not his first career choice, he revealed. He initially wanted to take Bachelor of Science in Biology.
“I passed the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test) but I don’t know why I missed such opportunity,” said Solomon.
His early years in college were difficult, according to Solomon who described himself as “shy” and “serious.”
“Vocal, active and sociable people are labeled as smarter, more competent and desirable as friends. These became standards to which I must conform with,” he said.
Solomon thanked his family, friends and teachers for inspiring him to be better.
“The copious knowledge, eternal words of wisdom and guidance that they shared greatly molded and enlightened me to become the better version of myself today,” he said.
Two other WVSU graduates topped the LET. Mary Clarence Gepes Madero (Bachelor in Special Education, major in Teaching the Gifted) ranked No. 1 in the elementary level with a rating of 88.80 percent while Maria Victoria Lionne Fulgencio Hierro (Bachelor in Elementary Education, major in Early Childhood Education) was No. 7 with a rating of 87 percent.
Overall, WVSU based in La Paz district here ranked No. 4 among the best-performing schools in the examination. Out of its 292 examinees, 258 (88.36 percent) passed the LET./PN
