The University of Cebu mechanical engineering board topnotcher will be gifted with a brand new car

The two other UC students in the top 10 will likewise receive financial incentives

At least one of the teachers will also receive a car, says a school official

MANILA, Philippines – The University of Cebu (UC) student who recently topped the March 2016 Mechanical Engineering Licensure exams will receive a brand new car; this was according to one of the school officials.

Marina Melendres Luchavez topped the board exam with a score of 91.60 percent. She is one of the three UC mechanical engineering students who made it to the top ten.

According to university Chancellor Candice Gotianuy, the 22-year-old first placer from Barangay Tayud, Consolacion, Cebu will be receiving a brand new car while the two other topnotchers will each receive financial incentives.

At least one of the teachers will also be receiving a similar gift, said Gutianoy.

“Neil Ivan Domingo, 2nd placer and Jay Rald Quiachon, 4th placer, you will each receive financial incentives. It takes a university to produce topnotchers but we will select one teacher to receive a brand-new car as well. Excellence is getting to be a habit in UC!” Gutianoy announced on her Facebook page on Tuesday, March 5.

Luchavez is not the first UC student to receive a car from the school for a similar feat. Last year, bar exam fifth placer Michelle Liao was also gifted a new car.

Second-placer Domingo got 91.15 percent while fourth-placer Quaichon got 88.85.
