Pride of Calape, Bohol

Dr. Gaius Sulpicio Garces Yu III, the son of Calape Vice Mayor Dr. Sulpicio Yu Jr., placed 10th in the October 2023 Physicians Licensure Examination (PLE) in the Philippines. He scored 87.42 percent, tying with Josiah Keith Domingo of the University of Santo Tomas.

Dr. Gaius graduated magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines Diliman with a degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. He then pursued his medical degree at the St. Luke's Medical Center College of Medicine-William H. Quasha Memorial Class of 2023.

The PLE was administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Board of Medicine on October 20, 21, 27, and 28 in various cities across the country. Out of 6,456 examinees, only 4,083 passed, or 63.24 percent¹.

The top performing school was the University of the Philippines-Manila, with a 100 percent passing rate. The topnotcher was Justin Riley Yap Lam of the Cebu Institute of Medicine, who scored 89.67 percent².

The PRC announced the results on November 6, three working days after the last day of examination. The registration for the issuance of professional identification card and certificate of registration will be done online³.

The PLE is conducted twice a year, usually in March and October. The exam covers various subjects, such as biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and public health⁴.

The PLE is one of the requirements for becoming a licensed physician in the Philippines. According to the PRC, an examinee who fails for the third time must complete a refresher course in a recognized medical school before taking the exam again⁵.

The Bohol Island News congratulates Dr. Gaius and all the other Boholanos who passed the board exam and became new doctors. We wish them all the best in their noble profession of saving lives and promoting health.
