The UPLB Genetics Society (GeneSoc) proudly extends its warmest congratulations to its esteemed alumni who successfully passed the Physician Licensure Examination (PLE) held last October 16, 2025. Their success stands as a reflection not only of their perseverance and dedication but also of GeneSoc’s enduring legacy of academic excellence and service to the nation. The organization celebrates the achievements of the following Genes who have earned the privilege to serve the people as licensed physicians:


  1. Gambalan, Katrina R. (Transcriptome)
  2. Aguire, Marie S. (Riboswitch)
  3. Lapuz, Regina G.  (Replichore) 
  4. Janiola, John Paolo DC (Replichore)
  5. Balisi, Cherlstin Grace E. (Replichore)
  6. Angili, Hedaya M. (Replichore)
  7. De Borja, Blaire Jazlin D. (Helitron)

  9. Lopez, Lance Spreewell A. (Spireme)
  10. Amante, Marlyn (Phagemids)
  11. Pena, Marie, Liable G. (Casposons)

Their success in this rigorous examination not only highlights their individual brilliance but also embodies the values that GeneSoc continues to uphold, excellence, integrity, and service. From the halls of UPLB to the demanding world of medicine, these Genes have shown that the pursuit of knowledge and compassion for others are never separate paths but intertwined callings that define what it means to be a true Iskolar ng Bayan.


Through years of academic training, research, and leadership within GeneSoc, these individuals honed not just their intellect but also their commitment to use science for the greater good. Now, as they don their white coats, they carry with them the same drive that once fueled their passion for genetics, this time, directed toward healing lives and advancing public health.


As an academic organization devoted to understanding life at its most fundamental level, GeneSoc celebrates these milestones as proof that excellence is the standard and that every Gene is capable of contributing meaningfully to the community, whether in the laboratory, the classroom, or the hospital.

            Once again, a heartfelt congratulations to our Brods and Sisses! Truly, Mga Siyentista, Lagi’t-Lagi, Para sa Bayan!
