It is a great thing to top a board exam once to top it twice and so near each other is an entirely different thing.

Lance Nathan Lim, magna cum laude graduate of the University of the Philippines-Diliman, from Davao has topped the February 2022 Master Plumber Licensure Examination.

He bested the 776 takers who passed the licensure exam for plumbers given by the Board for Master Plumbers in Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Koronadal, Legazpi, Lucena, and Tacloban.

Interestingly though, only weeks before he also placed second in the Architecture Board Exam, talk about an achiever.

Lance did not expect that he would topped again, especially being in first place as he pointed out that there are engineering students who he sees as better in Math who took the exam with him as well and that all he wanted was to pass.

“I was not expecting to be on top, let alone top one pa kasi ‘yung ibang nagte-take sa master plumbers includes civil and mechanical engineers na mas magaling sa math kesa sa akin”

When asked for his secret on how he topped two examinations, he said there was none aside from being diligent and focusing on his studies. He also emphasized to practice time management, balance and finding the right motivation.

“Always give it your all, always give your 100 percent para wala talagang regrets whatever the result may be.”
