Iloilo Science and Technology University (ISAT U) celebrates another milestone in academic excellence as two of its graduates secured top spots in the June 2026 Licensure Examination for Architects (LEA) administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).

Leading the University’s outstanding performance is Peter Banjao Zarriz, who placed Top 6 with a rating of 88.50 percent, while Krisha Angeli Potente Raquiz earned the Top 10 spot with a rating of 87.70 percent.

The Architecture Department continues to uphold its tradition of excellence in the Architect Licensure Examination. Four years ago, the program produced the Top 1 passer in the national examination, further solidifying its reputation for academic distinction.

According to Ar. Ma. Regina P. Falconite, the Department’s consistent success is the result of its rigorous academic training, comprehensive review program, and the early implementation of the Student Internship Program (SIP). By exposing students to professional practice at an early stage, the program equips them with practical skills, industry experience, and the confidence needed to excel both in the licensure examination and in their future careers as architects.

The remarkable achievement of Zarriz and Raquiz reflects ISAT U’s commitment to providing quality education and producing competent, innovative, and globally competitive professionals in the field of architecture. Their success is a testament to years of dedication, perseverance, and academic excellence, supported by the guidance of the University’s faculty and mentors.

Their accomplishment not only highlights their individual excellence but also serves as an inspiration to aspiring architects and future licensure examinees to pursue their dreams with determination and integrity.

ISAT U remains steadfast in its mission of nurturing professionals who excel in their respective fields and contribute meaningfully to nation-building through innovation, excellence, and service.
