Romance fuels couple to Top 10 of Criminology licensure exams


Being in a romantic relationship did not prevent a couple from Davao City — both graduates of criminology — from excelling in school and eventually in their bid to obtain their professional license, even getting top marks.

According to a report on Balita Pilipinas on Friday, couple Philip Pendang and Cherryfe España both made it into the Top 10 of the December 2018 Criminology Licensure Examination.

Out of 14,000 examinees, Pendang ranked third with a rating of 90.65 percent, while España placed seventh with a score of 89.85 percent.

The couple said they were able to pull off the feat because they supported each other's goals, and that they were patient, focused and set limits.
