USJ-R Sustains CPALE Topnotcher Tradition; Graduate Ranks 8th in October 2026 Exams
The University of San Jose–Recoletos (USJ-R) continues to demonstrate excellence in Accountancy education, producing another topnotcher in the Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination (CPALE) as one of its graduates secures a place among the country's highest-performing examinees in the October 2026 examination.
Robert Cuyong Toledano Jr., a 2026 graduate of the USJ-R School of Business and Management, ranked eighth nationwide with an impressive rating of 90.50 percent. He also completed his review at the university's CPA Review Center.
This latest achievement builds on USJ-R's strong performance in the May 2026 CPALE, where two of its graduates also earned places among the country's topnotchers. Mr. Blas Miguel V. Escarro secured fourth place, while Ms. Joan Alliah M. Carilimdiliman placed tenth in the national licensure examination.
In a press conference, Toledano credited his achievement to the values he developed during his years at USJ-R, particularly the university's three core values of competence, character, and commitment. He also recognized the culture of cooperation and mutual support among the university's faculty members and educators, whose guidance contributed to his academic preparation and professional journey.
