Batangas State University Lobo Campus demonstrates its strong performance in agriculture education as it produces a national topnotcher in the November 2025 Agriculturists Licensure Examination. A graduate of the BS Agriculture program, Gwyneth G. Villarin secured 3rd place nationwide with an impressive 91.52% rating.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced that 6,678 out of 9,741 examinees passed this year’s board exam, posting a national passing rate of 68.56%, with examinations conducted across 18 testing centers throughout the Philippines.

Beyond its topnotcher, BatStateU Lobo recorded a remarkable institutional performance by producing 35 newly licensed agriculturists and achieving an 89.74% campus passing rate, significantly surpassing the national average. This achievement highlights the campus’s commitment to academic excellence, intensive field-based learning, and the development of future-ready agriculture professionals.
