Daniel Terencio and John Paul Fadrilan, both accountancy graduates from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Manila, clinch the top two spots in the National Federation of Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (NFJPIA) Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination (CPALE) mock boards held on April 13-14, 2024.

The said mock national boards witnessed Terencio (Rank 1 - 92.64%) and Fadrilan (Rank 2 - 88.43%) performance, positioned them as two out of four topnotchers among 1,530 takers all over the Philippines who registered in the event.

The event, dubbed "Triforce: Odyssey of Trials and Triumph," boasted a challenge with a mere 0.26% passing rate. Despite the rigorous nature of the examination, Terencio and Fadrilan, alongside two others, emerged in this legendary quest for knowledge.

The examination took place at Real Excellence Online CPA Manila in the National Capital Region, providing a centralized location for participants in the area.

Meanwhile, other registrants across different regions took the exam in their respective review centers which ensured accessibility and convenience for all contestants regardless of their vicinity. This approach allowed aspiring accountants from various regions to showcase their talents and compete on a level playing field.

Comprising the CPALE board's six subjects, the national mock board examination aimed to evaluate the readiness of aspiring Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) for the forthcoming actual board exams scheduled for May.

In the NFJPIA CPALE mock boards, Terencio ranked first in Management Services (100%), Auditing (87.14%), RFBT (93%), and AFAR (92.86%), while garnered senior master in Financial Accounting and Reporting (87.14%) and Taxation (95.71%).

Fadrilan secured first in Taxation (97.14%) and Financial Accounting and Reporting (91.43%), while landed as senior master in Management Services (78.57%), Auditing (82.86%), RFBT (92%), and AFAR (88.57%).

Terencio and Fadrilan achievements served as a testament to their dedication, academic prowess, and preparation for the demanding field of accountancy.

Terencio was the Batch Valedictorian of College of Accountancy - Batch 2023 in PUP Manila, with Magna Cum Laude honor distinction, while Fadrilan graduated as Magna Cum Laude as well. They were both quizzers during their undergraduate years.

PUP JPIAns participated in FEDMATCH 2024: The Guardian’s Cosmic Showdown conducted last April 14: spearheaded by the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Federation of Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (PUPFJPIA).

The quiz bee showdown was composed of two competitions where accounting students from universities across the Philippines were contested to demonstrate their academic excellence and mastery of different areas of accounting, in teams.

In the first online sub-event, The Xandar Jeopardy Mayhem, all qualified contenders are second-year and third-year bona fide students, with each team composed of three students. After an intense battle of wits, the Team Sinta, consisting of John Ren Y. Catolico, John Albert L. Hernadez, and Roe Anthony D. Palermo clinched first place.

Meanwhile, Team Aliyah & Co., whose members include Aliyah Red Cadiz, John Patrick Gopez, and Rhea Niduelan, ranked fourth.

On the other hand, the other online sub-event, entitled The Galaxarium Expedition: Race to Accounting Supremacy, was incorporated by third and fourth-year students, organized into teams of five. Among all the contenders who endured the challenge, Team Alpas, comprising Raniel Lloyd E. Capunpon, Lee Mikel C. Caya, Raymond C. Rasos, Kathleen Kelly D. Reyes, and Veniz C. Velasquez proved their skill on their journey to the championship.

Nevertheless, Team Prank, including Axzel S. Del Rosario, Kc O. Belvis, Princess Naomi R. Pamorada, Rianne Palomo, and Pamela Jade Vargas demonstrated their prowess which secured a fourth-place finish.

According to Kathleen Kelly Reyes, a member of the winning Team Alpas, their strategy in securing the championship title is to “divide and conquer.” Their team had already divided their tasks among themselves prior to the competition.

“I remember may isang station na bubuo kaming puzzle, hinati namin bawat side para hindi kami magkagulo [sa] pag-aayos. Then sa matching type naman, try lang nang try habang nag-iisip yung iba. To sum it all up, it was really a win built with strong bond, fun, fast solutions, and faith,” she explained.

The Orange Peel Theory has been going around the internet for quite some time now. It first started in TikTok where the idea of peeling an Orange for someone could equate to showing one’s love and affection towards them. Originally, it was a slideshow of screenshots of two people conversing via text wherein 𝑂𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒-𝑃𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 was used to cover 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔.

Some people say you must peel your own Orange. Some people say we can have our Oranges peeled by someone who would like to do it for us, but really, who shall peel our Oranges?

In this theory, we can deduce three perspectives, depending on how you will look at it.

First is that we are responsible for peeling our own Orange so we should do it by ourselves. Second is that to 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒; therefore, we can let those who love us peel our Orange, and we can peel for them. Third is that we can work with others to peel our Oranges and we can work with them peeling theirs.

Still, what does this mean? How do Oranges relate to love and relationships? Why is it an arguable topic?

Peeling Oranges requires time, effort, and carefulness. I guess it is safe to say that it is, truly, similar to love.

In life, we are, in fact, responsible for our own—our responsibilities, decisions, and basically, ourselves. So, 𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑂𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒.

But this does not mean we must not give a chance to others who are 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑂𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚. Maybe that’s what this Orange Peel Theory is about. That, yes, we are responsible for peeling our own Oranges, yet it is totally fine to let and help others in peeling Oranges. Loving, caring, and showing affection are 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠.

It is important for us to know how one would like their Orange peeled just as it is important for us to know how we would like our Oranges to get peeled.

So... Who shall peel my Orange?

I believe that a better way to put it is like this: we are responsible for growing and protecting our oranges, yet we can let others peel with us, so we can share the joy and success of a peeled one. Gentle to not crush the pulp, careful to not let the juice out.

I am sure that you have heard of, “𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑔𝑜 𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑.” With the right people, things get easier. We can work with others to peel our Oranges and we can work with them peeling theirs. Peeling someone’s Orange is not our responsibility, but we do it out of love.

Peeling requires time, effort, and gentleness, and so does love.
But peeling is a responsibility, and love is not.
