Criminology topnotcher commended anew

City officials congratulated and commended Narcelisa Ponase Talipnao for topping the December 2022 criminology licensure examination nationwide administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) with a rating of 91.60 percent.

In a resolution, local legislators stated that Baguio City being the educational center of the north and the Cordillera Administrative Region as a whole is proud of Ms. Talipnao’ accomplishment, therefore, it is but fitting to commend her for her relentless hard work and determination that brought laudable recognition to the city and the region.

Earlier, the PRC conducted the criminology licensure examination nationwide on December 4-6, 2022 in various designated testing centers in the different parts of the country to cater to the face-to-face conduct of the said examination.

Further, the PRC disclosed that out of 33,489 examinees, 11,098 passed the said  examination which will serve as one of the major requirements for qualified individuals to be able to enter the uniformed service of the Philippine national Police (PNP).

Talipnao, who completed her criminology course from the University of Baguio, topped this 2022 criminology licensure examination with a standing rating of 91.60 percent.

The criminology licensure examination is one of the examinations being administered by the PRC to serve as a stepping stone for criminologists wanting to enter the PNP and other attached national support units.

The said criminology licensure examination is being held twice a year in various testing centers designated by the PRC to cater to the increasing demand of criminologists graduating from various higher education institutions in the country wanting to be licensed criminologists. – Dexter A. See
