“A demonstration of clear dominance.”

This was how Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña described the recent feat of the University of Cebu (UC)-Main Campus after its graduates dominated the Oct. 2017 Naval Architect and Marine Engineering board exam.

Osmeña said that producing one or two topnotchers may be considered a fluke, but having a clean-sweep is on a different level.

“You look at the pattern. It’s similar to developing an undisputed champion,” he said.

The City Council has also commended the school and the graduates for such “historical achievement.”

A proposed amendatory ordinance by Councilor Mary Ann delos Santos that aims to include non-resident and non-voter topnotchers is also pending council approval.

In a letter to the council, lawyer Augustus Go, UC president, said he commends the measure. /
