October 2003 CPA Board Exam

[Sentinel_2K]

Any guess who and from what school will the topnotcher be? :)

[mac_bolan00]

UP, doblado!

[toyo]

I hope your right. But I have to admit you have a very good basis for betting. I just hope you will not end up in doblado jeopardy! (finex competition and this october 2003 board exam results)...

[LINGGIT^F]

let's just wait for the results. ;)

[XetraDAX]

oo nga. wait na lang tayo.

good luck examinees!!

[Aquinatis]

Good luck to the Future Thomasian CPAs!!!

Hintayin natin ang results this year... Tables turn, you know...

[ErwinRafael]

FEU. :)

[jtwothree]

kung may Accountancy sa Ateneo, bookkeeper kayong lahat! :)

[reyna_elena]

duh!!!

I HOPE DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY will top this year! we've been topping the CPA exam for years now!!!



but in fairness, UP - Diliman, UP - Visayas, UST and USC in Cebu are good too. they have a chance, lagi kong nakikita yang mga schools na 'yan sa TOP 20. :) And they are always behind LASALLE sa mga top performing schools.

GOOD LUCK LA SALLIAN Examinees!!!
REKTIKANO, REKTIKANO, REKTIKANO! RAH!

[reyna_elena]

My fearless forecast:

1. DLSU
2. UP - Diliman
3. DLSU
4. DLSU
5. Ateneo -------------------------DE NAGA sympre, la namang BSA sa Ateneo de Quezon City College eh.
6. UST
7. DLSU
8. UP - Visayas
9. Bicol University
10. USC

:)

[jason_s]

takot naman makisabay ang mga DLSU takers sa mga taga UP e.

e hindi mo naman tinitingnan yung binabasa mong results. kaya lagi mong nakikitang nagta-top ang DLSU over these other schools kasi sila ang kumukuha ng MAY Board exams. OCTOBER ngayon. kapag May, mga repeater or mga late takers ng ibang schools ang kumukuha. kaya talagang walang kalaban ang DLSU.

most likely, DLSU will not top this sem. the DLSU grads take the board on May, dahil sa trimester system nila. kaya nga lagi silang nagta-top...kapag May board exams.

kapag October, medyo madalas diyan ang UP Diliman.

i really hope na may makapasok na sa amin (FEU) sa Top 20. medyo okay ang batch na kukuha ngayon, sana lumaban!!!

[Aquinatis]

I bet UST and UP ang maglalaban this October.

Ang DLSU kasi May ang season nila eh.

[ErwinRafael]

may magagaling din na provincial universities. sino ba ang nag-top nung nakaraang October board exams?

[Aquinatis]

Ang alam ko From San Beda eh... nung May UP, followed by Jennifer Galang of DLSU...

[dingclancy23]

UP will top the board.... no doubt....

[LINGGIT^F]

lets just congratulate whoever will top the board exam :shy:

[Allan]

Goodluck to Thomasian takers...

[haberdasher]

goodluck and congratulations in advance to those who will pass.... let's just hope there's no leakage ... ;)

[LINGGIT^F]

yup! last day na tomorrow ng exams nila. next week release na ng grades! good luck to all! :)

[XetraDAX]

goodluck!!

[crashbandicot]

UP and UST will grab the top ten.....

[charlie_g]

Hindi naman naging big deal sa mga taga UP ang board exam, ha.

[^ingeborg^]

last year maraming places ang nakuha ng USTe sa top ten

[ErwinRafael]

actually, mas interesting ang passing percentages kaysa Top Ten. may mag-top nga sa skul, ang konti naman ng pumasa, masama pa rin yun.

kasi, ang pagpasok sa Top reflects the individual's effort. yung passing percentage, yan ang may halo talagang school effort...

gud lak sa lahat ng takers lalo na ang galing UP Diliman at FEU. :D

[paralusi]

can somebody please put a link here once the results come out on the web? thanks!

well, i'm just hoping that the improvements we have been instituting to the program would bear fruit. jumping from a 19% to a 34-40% passing rate was already an achievement. sana matuloy-tuloy namin. :)

[Introvert_S]

someone from UP Visayas topped the board. 11 topnotchers are from UP Diliman. passing ratio of UPD is 69/80...eto palang balita ko... paki-correct na lang kung mali

[Aquinatis]

See?... tables DID turn... from 52% passing rate last year, UST jumped to a whopping 74%... not bad for a school with 205 examinees... sumunod ang PUP... 28%...

[Aquinatis]

De La Salle University - Manila 72/37/51.00%


Fifty-one percent?? LANG?

I expected better... DLRT?? Best in Business courses?? Hmm...

[ErwinRafael]

well, to be fair to DLSU, as noted earlier in this thread, MAY Board exams ang regular takers nila. ang October takers nila, irregular.

it's like viewing what is the passing percentage of UST or UP during May. hindi naman kasingtaas ng October, di ba?

Nagpapaka-hero ka na naman dito, engotz!

Last May, taga UP po ang nag top sa CPA. Nuff said.

[ErwinRafael]

hindi naman po Topnotcher ang pinag-uusapan kanina. passing percentage. i was responding to Aquinatis' post.

magkaibang bagay yun. nung May, 75% lang yata ang passing rate ng UPD? may epekto talaga yung time ng board sa performance ng schools.

[charlie_g]

Congrats UP Diliman!


The best school for Accountancy talaga ang UP and the most sought after pa ng mga employers.

Surprisingly, the Top 5 (fifth year) BAA students of UP who represented UP in the FINEX competition this month ended up in 3rd place only. Ateneo's team, which was comprised mainly of 3rd year Mgt. Eng. students (i.e., no finance majors), ended up in 2nd place. The sad part is, UP almost lost to University of San Carlos and could have landed in 4th place.

[Soccer_6]

Congratulations to all examinees!!

especially fellow Thomasians!! sa mga ka-batch ko...galing talaga ng College ko in UST!!

[Fortune]

75% lang ang UPD sa MAY na off season
tapos 86% sa OCTOBER pag off season

ang baba pa ba niyan?

ONLY 51% passed from DLSU? That's pathetic!
And you paid how much to study in DLSU?

UST is really the best value for money!

DLSU - mahal na, palpak pa rin. Highway robbery! Grabe ang racket. Parang you're paying 5-star dining money for Jollibee burgers. Tsk tsk.

[dnx90]

just to put things in perspective... the students who topped the CPA exam this year were part of the FINEX team last year. This team was fell one question short of first place last year.

The FINEX team that ended at 3rd place will be taking the exam next year. But I also remember that Ateneo, USC and UP were all tied up until the last question.

Surprisingly, the Top 5 (fifth year) BAA students of UP who represented UP in the FINEX competition this month ended up in 3rd place only. Ateneo's team, which was comprised mainly of 3rd year Mgt. Eng. students (i.e., no finance majors), ended up in 2nd place. The sad part is, UP almost lost to University of San Carlos and could have landed in 4th place.

Congrats to the successful examinees! :)

La Salle may have a lower passing % this month (due to the irregular students), but take note that DLSU-Manila was conferred by the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) an Achievement Award for topping Category 2 (51-99 examinees) of the CPA board exams in a period of 5 years. Over that 5-year period (1996-2000), DLSU achieved a 70% passing rate followed by UP Visayas (38%) and PLM (31%).

Hardiharhar... kasi naman napaka close minded mo...

Ano akala mo?? Madali ang accountancy ng ibang schools?? Or baka naman DLRT ang may diperensya??

Thomasian Accountancy majors aren't complaining THAT MUCH...yeah mahirap nga but they carry the accounting and auditing subjects well... and yet mataas pa ang passing percentage ng UST... palagi nalang silang nakakapag top sa category A... DLRT category B lang nga...

Hmm... Baka naman sa quality of students...? Kasi nahihirapan ang mga ka-berde mo? Tsk tsk... one proof that...

Iba talaga ang quality ng THOMASIAN CPAs...

Like who, for instance?

[Soccer_6]

There's Washington Sycip...founder of SGV, the leading accounting firm in the country...

and there's Nina Aguas for instance...first female na naging head ng Citibank...or kung hindi Citibank isang financial institution...

recipient siya ng College of Commerce, from which I came from, ng Outstanding Commerce Graduate...she was featured sa Inquirer...:)

isip pa ako? Congratz uli sa mga nakapasa!;)

[Braveheart]

actually wala pa ring tatalo kay Washington SyCip who developed the filipino profession of accounting. :)

[ChristChurch]

Akala ko ba MOST... bakit dalawa lang ang naisip mo.

Si Washington Sycip ay taon-taon nag bibigay ng donation sa UP. Hindi nya pinag-aral ang mga anak at apo nya sa UST. Napunta po sila sa UP, the obvious better school. Bakit kaya?

[Braveheart]

wrong. he let his children study in up to prove a point that state/public shools' quality is not really deteriorating, and has nothing to do with up's being the best. he even lamented that public education is indeed a mess. i've heard him speak several times about the philippine public/state educational system, and he would always have something to say about the sad state of public education (grade school/HS/and even college). and by supporting up, he's giving back what he can to help the poor students studying at the supposedly "poor man's university".

and as for the donation, he once jokingly said that the donation he made to up was "for each sycip who studied there and abused the system." :)

[jellybeans21]

wala bang taga-San Beda na nag-take ng October CPA Board exams?

[panicroom]

mas maganda ang October results against May results since most of the regular students all over the philippines ay kumukuha.

Kaya lang nagtotop ang La Salle sa May results dahil *** silang masyadong magagaling na kalaban sa other schools.

anyway, the ff schools are always consistent sa performance.( 505 above passing ave)

Metro Manila

UP-diliman
UST
DLSU-Manila

Visayas

UP-Visayas
Univ. of St. La Salle
Silliman Univ.
UP-Tacloban

Mindanao

Xavier Univ.


Ito lang talaga ang mga schools na magagaling sa accountancy, the rest tsumatsamba lang yan!

Sino pa? dalawa lang?? sobrang konti naman! Akala ko ba sabi ni Aquanitis "most UST CPAs become CEOs". Nina Aguas is not even the CEO of Citibank, she heads the consumer banking group.

2?

3 if you add 'ol chickenheart. :lol:

Funny how this thread is fast deteriorating into a bashing forum.

Akala ko rin taga UP siya... he's often heard mentioning UP than any other institution in this country. Mahal na mahal niya ang UP. Yon lang ang palaging nabibigkas sa bibig nya. :p

UST is really the best value for money!

DLSU - mahal na, palpak pa rin. Highway robbery! Grabe ang racket. Parang you're paying 5-star dining money for Jollibee burgers. Tsk tsk.

Ah talaga? Buti nalang, I'm lucky enough to have money to burn.... :beam:

I dont want to sound rude or anything, but definitely he is a certified graduate of the Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas. Look at his scholastic records, I'm very sure it does not read "University of the Philippines".

According to an article in the Varsitarian (UST's official newspaper-- 75 years) His fondest memories of the university he says is that it taught him discipline because UST was a strict catholic school. The University of Santo Tomas, being situated in a slowly congesting concrete jungle of Manila, was the best university that time for business. During his days, there were only two schools: The liberals went to UP and the conservative went to UST (which is the Catholic UP -- a distinction recognized and given by the world). When he goes to school (UST) he would even commute in the typical manila jeepney. Furthermore, UST's humble way of education (despite being a royal university as bequeath by the church) taught him to start from the bottom; gleaning the two important ingredient for success (perseverance and academic competence) from UST he was able to make a zenith on his own. He also taught for a brief period at the old UST College of Commerce. He was always a thomasian, he did not have to shout it to the world but he brings with him the excellence that UST has always taken pride in every graduate that she has produced THROUGH THE AGES.

Another thing I want to emphasize and give further depth: Why is it that every UST graduate mentioned and acclaimed is always claimed by other schools? You have claimed our writers (Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo, Jose Wendell Capili etc..), our philosophers, our doctors, our architects, and now even our commerce graduates. [You have even stereotyped UST as the fourth university.] Just because they serve and teach in other schools make them authentic [whatever school] graduates? UST has always succored other schools' academic fortitude and it has been the pattern eversince, yet we are always singled out in the business of education of which UST started. We are second in terms of centers of excellence, we have dominated in general different board licensure examinations, we have produced highly erudite individuals that man different institutions, we have a lot of recognition abroad, and we are the oldest university in asia. What do we get in return? We are treated as a bunch of illiterates and Jologs from España Avenue in Manila. Do you have a copy of their transcript of records? This is really sickening! Hope this becomes an eye-opener for the guy always fond of using numerous alternicks just to tarnish UST's academic and royal pillar tested by time and fortified by equity.

As an ender: Congratulations to all the CPAs! Make this nation proud! :) The end.

Well said, Thomas.

[PRINCE_WILLIAM]

that is, if a writer is a tomasian...

but what baffles me is when Sycip is being interviewed for international media or prints, he only mentioned one school in the Philippines and expectedly, it wasn’t UST. It has always been, UP, the obvious better school. No one ever heard him talking of UST.

Sycip loves UP so much. Two bold things he has done for UP, something he never had done to other schools have manifested his love for this great university:

1. He sent all his smart children and even grandchildren to UP despite having been accepted by Ivy League schools in the US.
2. He gives more endowments to UP than to his own alma mater.

Bottom line here: UST is a somewhat okay school but never can this school be considred very good. It has always been a back-up school of the so-called, "big-3". UST has managed to produce top-ten placers in board exams from time to time but rarely a top-notcher or much more, a top-performing school.

UP is the best! It frequently produces board top-notchers and always dominates the top-ten placers in any government licensure examination. UP always emerges as the top performing school since it sends off takers in the board exam.


Peace.

[Thoma§]

I won't answer that anymore, because it is simply a bias post. Read again what you've just posted, who knows, enlightening might embrace you someday.. hopefully. :)

VIVA SANTO TOMAS! Onwards, 2011!

He also taught for a brief period at the old UST College of Commerce. He was always a thomasian, he did not have to shout it to the world but he brings with him the excellence that UST has always taken pride in every graduate that she has produced THROUGH THE AGES.

[yEyAn_21]

congrats lasalle-bacolod!

animo lasalle!

[reyna_elena]

This is not La Salle's season. Let's wait for May exam. I'm sure DE LA SALLE UNVIERSITY na naman ang highest rate and tops. :)


Congrats to UP! and ust.

[gwapo_atenista]

i agree, DLSU is the best in business courses (all my CPA cousins are from DLRT).

but 50% passing rate is pathetic.

[Labamba]

well sobrang nalulungkot ang Admin ng BEda. pababa ng pababa ang passing rate namin, not sure if someone is in Top 20. Im hoping. :)

[XetraDAX]

walang bedan sa top 20. I read kanina sa newspaper, puro mga thomasian and UPian.

[wwwaaahhh]

Congrats Reinier (no.2) at Elmer (no 12) ang gagaling niyo. Anyways kahit hindi UPDil ang nag top from UP pa rin naman *** number 1 kahit papano.

Congrats ulit sa mga taga UP, num 1 ulit tayo sa ranking.

[LINGGIT^F]

congrats ulit sa mga ka-college ko, UST College of Commerce weeeehhh were so proud of you!:)
