A Top 10 Finish With a GenSan Name on the List
GENERAL SANTOS CITY - Libasa's ninth-place finish puts a General Santos City graduate among the top performers in a national professional examination. Her 87.50 percent rating reflects the result of an examination taken by fisheries graduates and professionals across multiple testing centers in the country. The PRC reported that the October examination was conducted on October 1 and 2, with results released just two working days after the final examination day. Out of 2,631 examinees, 1,816 successfully passed, making a national top-10 finish a particularly notable result within this year's pool of examinees.
From a GenSan Campus to a National Ranking
The achievement also gives attention to the fisheries program at Mindanao State University–General Santos. The university's announcement identified Libasa as its ninth-place national performer and said her result contributed to MSU–GenSan being recognized among the top-performing schools in the examination. Beyond the ranking itself, the result highlights the kind of professional preparation expected from graduates entering a field closely connected with the country's aquatic resources and food systems. For General Santos City, known for its strong connection to fisheries and the seafood industry, having a locally educated graduate reach the national top 10 is a fitting accomplishment for a city where fisheries remains an important part of its identity.
A Career Path With Wider Waters Ahead
Passing a professional examination is more than receiving a new credential; it opens the next chapter for graduates who plan to work in fisheries-related fields. Newly licensed professionals can contribute to areas such as fisheries management, aquaculture, research, production and the responsible use of aquatic resources. Libasa's result can likewise give students considering the profession a concrete example of where years of study and preparation can lead. Her achievement is therefore worth celebrating not simply as a school statistic, but as a GenSan success story connected to a profession that has a place in the country's food supply, coastal communities and blue economy.
