To keep track of the PhilNITS passers of Davao, my wife and I donated to PhilNITS Davao office a wallclock wherein the names of all those who have so far passed the exams are printed. As of the latest results of PhilNITS (November 7, 2008) posted at their website (http://www.philnits.org/), the number of examinees who have passed the PhilNITS FE exam in Davao so far is 12. There are also some examinees who passed only either the AM or the PM part. And I am positively hopeful they will complete the remaining part next time they take the exam.
Here is a glimpse of the clock face :
You might have notice 13 names in the clock face. The other one is my wife's. She passed the exam in Manila, but is now back in her beloved hometown of Davao, and is here for good.
The next level exam, PhilNITS SW, has not yet been conducted in Davao (maybe because nobody have registered to challenge it). But this coming April 2009 exam, there are some of us who are seriously considering to take it, and of course with the intention (or at least hope) to pass it. So until now all the passers are for the FE exam.
So far the clock can still accomodate the names of all passers. But I am hoping soon we will need a bigger one... meaning, there will be a lot more who will pass the exam and we cannot place them all in the current clockface. Now that is something I am excited about, and really looking forward to...
