The Aklan State University - School of Veterinary Medicine (ASU-SVM)received award from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Board of Veterinary Medicine for being the  4th top performing schools in the recent Veterinary Licensure Examination.
 

ASU President Benny A. Palma together with the SVM Dean, Dr. Maria Regina Cabañez received the Certificate of Recognition during the Oath taking Ceremonies for new veterinarians  from Dr. Angel Antonio B. Mateo, Chairman of the Board, and a PRC representative on September 7, 2006 at the Centennial Hall, Manila Hotel.

In an interview with Dr. Cabañez, she said that they are doing their best to “breed high quality” veterinarians.  “As a matter of fact, during the annual Convention of the Philippine Veterinary Medical Association in February 2006 at Baguio City, the former dean, Dr. Cecilia T. Reyes, who is now on study leave, was awarded Best Veterinarian in Education.”

When asked if they can maintain their rank, she smiled and simply said that they will do their best to provide quality education and hopefully maintain their prestigious position.

Last year, the School placed fifth in the ranking of Vet Med schools in the Philippines.
