Janella Jalal
With a passing percentage of 89.22%, Centro Escolar University Manila School of Pharmacy graduate Janella Jalal placed 4th in the April 2021 Pharmacist Licensure Examination given by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
“Being an irregular student for four years didn’t leave that much room for me to dream of becoming one of the topnotchers. The thought of it crossed my mind, of course, but I don’t believe that much in myself. All I wanted was to pass the board exam. But I guess, my God, Allah, has seen the sacrifices I made, and He gave me more than what I asked for. I’m beyond grateful” said the 22-year old native from Tawi-Tawi.

Jonathan Ivan Rivera’s love for the performing arts started with the power of magic. (oo literal na magic ha!)
“I’ve been a professional Magician since I was 12 years old. I was taught by my dad who was a Magician, too. It started with Cartoon Network Birthday Bash, they would do a raffle on TV and the winner would get a birthday party and from there they needed young entertainers. That’s where my professional life as a Magician started. Then I performed for all most all the hotels in the Philippines , and different clients from the bday party of kids of celebrities to company events.” Jonathan recalls. (parang na-magic mo na puso ko bro!)
