They said PT stands for Physical Therapy, but today it also stands for Persistence and Triumph. After years of lectures, laboratory classes, return demonstrations, clinical exposures, review sessions, sleepless nights, and countless cups of coffee, the dream has finally become a reality. Our kaPTids have officially earned the title of PTRPs, proving that every sacrifice, challenge, and moment of hard work was worth it.

Adding even more pride to this remarkable achievement, Mariano Marcos State University proudly celebrates three outstanding topnotchers in the Physical Therapy Licensure Examination: 𝗔𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗶 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗱𝘂, 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟮; 𝗔𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘀𝘀 𝗚. 𝗚𝗮𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻, 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟯; 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗖. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼, 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟲. Their success reflects the dedication, excellence, and resilience that define every MMSU kaPTid, inspiring future physical therapists to strive for the same level of achievement.

This year's results further highlight the university's commitment to academic excellence, with MMSU achieving an outstanding 92.75% overall passing rate in the Physical Therapist Licensure Examination. This remarkable performance is a testament to the hard work of the examinees, the guidance of faculty mentors, and the unwavering support of families and the entire MMSU community.

This milestone is more than a celebration of passing an examination—it is a celebration of dreams realized, goals achieved, and futures made brighter. As our newly licensed PTRPs step into the profession, may they continue to embody compassion, integrity, and excellence in serving their patients and communities. The journey may have been challenging, but it has prepared them for the greater purpose that lies ahead: changing lives through healing hands and dedicated service.

Congratulations, MMSU PTRPs! The boards are conquered, the license is earned, and the future is yours to shape. Your kaPTids family stands proud beside you as you begin this new chapter of your professional journey. May this achievement be only the first of many successes to come.
