BACOLOD City – A policeman’s son topped the recent licensure examination for medical technologists.

Patrick Joseph Amunategui Mabugat, who placed No. 1 with a rating of 90.90 percent, is the son of Superintendent Calixto Mabugat of Barangay Alijis here.

The 20-year-old new medical technologist graduated from the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos (UNO-R).

The board exam was administered on Sept. 13 and 14. The Professional Regulation Commission released the results on Sept. 17.

Mabugat is the eldest of four siblings. Their father is assigned at the Police Regional Office 6 in Iloilo City but is currently “schooling” at the police’s Regional Training School in Barangay Mansilingan here.

The board topnothcer was a consistent honor student. At La Consolacion College where he took his elementary and high school education, he graduated valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively.

Mabugat said he will take up Medicine. He wants to be a doctor.

The city government will formally recognize Mabugat’s feat with either cash or gift certificate, said Mayor Monico Puentevella.

There were a total of 3,615 examinees across the country; 2,986 passed.

According to Mabugat, one of his inspirations for topping the exam was his girlfriend, Dyan Dimalaluan who herself passed the board exam.

Mabugat’s school, UNO-R was the No. 8 top-performing school in the exam. It posted a 96.05 percent passing rate. It had 76 board takers; only three did not pass.
