The Birthplace of Topnotchers
Success requires diligence, knowledgeable mentoring, and an environment that inspires students to give it their all.
Getting a college degree is just the first step for many people who want to become professionals. The final exam is the board exam, which evaluates years of study, self-control, and a top-notch education against the nation's highest standards.
These accomplishments are now a defining characteristic of OEd (Online Education), rather than merely individual success stories.
OEd's exceptional performance in the July 2026 Real Estate Appraiser Licensure Examination, OEd demonstrates once more that academic excellence can flourish in a flexible learning environment.
This year's top achiever is Mina Isobel Tormes, who took first place nationally. She is accompanied by fellow OEd graduates Blue Sander Falag-ey, who placed in the Top 2, and Allen Varquez, who finished in the Top 9. This outstanding accomplishment strengthens OEd's growing standing as a producer of top-notch board members.
This achievement is made even more significant by the fact that Professor Elma, one of OEd's mentors, passed the same licensing exam. Her accomplishment exemplifies OEd's view that education never stops, even for educators. By continuously pursuing professional development, OEd mentors inspire students to strive for excellence outside of the classroom.
These recent board exam successes are not exceptional. They represent a new phase in OEd's steadily expanding legacy of producing professionals who consistently rank among the best in the country.
Over the past three years, OEd has built an impressive roster of board topnotchers and passers across various professional licensure examinations, including:

Even though traditional conceptions of education often associate excellence with real classrooms, OEd has redefined what quality education can look like. Thanks to its state-of-the-art online learning platform, industry-aligned curriculum, knowledgeable faculty, and personalized academic support, the institution has made it possible for working professionals, parents, Filipinos living abroad, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners to pursue their dreams without compromising their personal and professional obligations.
Its graduates continue to show that academic rigor and flexibility can coexist. Instead, OEd has demonstrated that when the right support system is in place, accessible education can produce outcomes that are comparable to, if not superior to, traditional learning models.
There is more to each board topnotcher than just a test result. Behind every name is a story of perseverance, endless study sessions, committed mentors, and an organization committed to helping every student realize their full potential.
Apart from commemorating yet another generation of board exam successes, OEd also recognizes something even more important: the growing professional community whose achievements show the institution's steadfast commitment to excellence.
These days, OEd is recognized for more than just increasing access to education. Even more beneficial, it is increasingly acknowledged for producing graduates who succeed in their fields.
OEd's reputation as The Birthplace of Topnotchers—an institution where ambition is nurtured, excellence is cultivated, and future industry leaders are made.
