SHENAI Juance, a magna cum laude graduate of La Carlota City Community College, placed fifth in the October 2016 Criminologist Licensure Examination (CLE) given by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
The 20-year-old resident of Barangay Gargato, Hinigaran town, garnered a rating of 89.70.
Juance is the lone Negrense topnotcher and one of the only two from the Visayas. The PRC announced that 10,901 out of 34,768 examinees passed.
"Nothing is impossible with faith that is steadfast, and hardwork that is done with love. I am very fortunate that I am surrounded by a lot of great people," Juance said.
The topnotcher said that she is grateful to those who supported her especially her family, friends, and teachers.
Juance was raised by a father who is a former laborer at a sugar central, and who now works as a tricycle driver.
“I will always and forever be grateful to the Lord, it had always been Him eversince,” she added.
The October CLE was given by the Board of Criminology in several examination sites across the country, including Bacolod City.
