Twin Engineers
TWIN ENGINEERS 👷♀️
Identical twins Jelly Ann and Jolly Babe Siago entered Cebu Institute of Technology–University together, but they pursued different branches of engineering and built achievements distinctly their own.
Jelly Ann completed Civil Engineering as a summa cm laude graduate and ranked second in her graduating batch. She later passed the April 2025 Civil Engineers Licensure Examination, joining the 4,940 successful examinees out of 16,913 who took the national boards.
Her twin sister, Jolly Babe, graduated summa cm laude from Electrical Engineering and ranked first in her batch. She also served as CIT-U’s 2024 Queen of Engineers before earning the highest rating nationwide in the August 2025 Registered Electrical Engineers Licensure Examination.
Jolly Babe topped the examination with a rating of 93.45 percent, leading the new batch of registered electrical engineers whose results were released on August 28, 2025.
Her journey into engineering began with uncertainty. While still in high school, Jolly Babe initially considered nursing, a course often suggested to women. A nursing immersion helped her realize that it was not the path she wanted.
After praying for guidance and researching possible careers, she discovered Electrical Engineering. However, some people around her initially questioned the decision and described it as a field intended for men.
Instead of abandoning the course, Jolly Babe accepted the stereotype as a challenge and eventually became the country’s top-performing examinee in her profession.
Although the sisters shared similar appearances and supported each other throughout college, their accomplishments reflected their individual strengths—Jelly Ann in building infrastructure and Jolly Babe in electrical systems.
Both now hope to become professors and eventually establish their own engineering firms, allowing them to share their knowledge while creating opportunities within their respective industries.
From graduating with the highest academic distinction to becoming licensed engineers, the Siago twins show that sisters may grow side by side without having to follow exactly the same path.
