| All-time high pass-rate rate recorded for SPLE for teachers held last year |
Filipino professionals from various fields who took the Special Professional Licensure Examination in Hong Kong last May have scored high passing marks, results released by the Migrant Workers Office show..
In its latest post, the MWO announced that 29 out of 33 (87.87%) who took the SPLE for architects given by the Board of Architecture in Hong Kong and Singapore passed the qualifying exam. The outcome of the exam in either testing site was not given.
The Board that administered the test was headed by its chairman, Robert M. Mirafuente, together with members Lynnda Marie B. Laraya and Miguel C. Guerrero.
The pass rate for the SPLE result was slightly higher than the national board examination held earlier this month, when 2,799 out of 3,290 examinees passed, for a 85.07% outcome.
Earlier, the MWO also announced that 5 out of 15 (33.33%) who took the Agriculturists Special Professional Examination given by the Board of Agriculture in Hong Kong and Taipei last May 2026 made the mark.
Three of those who took the exam were from Hong Kong, and one of them passed, for roughly the same pass-rate result.
The members of the Board of Agriculture who gave the licensure examination are Emma K. Sales, chairperson; Eric P. Palacpac, Annabelle S. Sarabia, Anastacia G. Notarte, Maria Eden S. Piadozo and Lilia A. Portales, members.
The best performance so far was notched by the examinees in the Social Workers SPLE given by the Board for Social Workers in Hong Kong, also last May, when 2 out of 2 passed, for a 100% pass-rate.
The members of the Board for Social Workers who gave the licensure examination are Evangeline M. Guinto, chairperson; Fe J. Sinsona, Hon. Maria Lyra T. Del Castillo, Hon. Vincent Andrew T. Leyson and Hon. Jerusa C. Arnante-Homo, members.
Last year, examinees for the SPLE for teachers also did well, when 290 of the 528 examinees passed, for a record 54.92% pass rate. This surpassed the previous record of just over 50% posted in 2001, when about 500 of 1,000 or so examinees at the time aced the test.
For the May SPLEs, professionals in 37 fields were offered the chance to take the qualifying examination in Hong Kong over three days, May 29, 30 and 31, under the supervision of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in the Philippines. It is not clear how many SPLEs were actually held based on demand.
