The Bicol University College of Business, Economics, and Management (BUCBEM) has earned national recognition as the Top Performing School in the Certified Human Resource Associate (CHRA) Assessment Examination, administered by the Human Resource Educators Association of the Philippines (HREAP).
BUCBEM achieved a 91% overall institutional passing rate for the period July 2024 to June 2025.
The success of the examinees was partly supported by the Junior People Management Association of the Philippines โ Bicol University (JPMAP-BU), which organized and coordinated the examination process.
In a virtual interview, Mx. Mikaella Emmanuelle A. Lodana, Vice President of JPMAP-BU, stated that the organization ensured that resources were accessible and that students were well-prepared for the examination.
โWe were able to bring an examination site closer to our JPMAP-BU members and HRM students, making it more convenient for them to secure certification. By serving as the primary coordinator, we were able to centralize communication among examinees and provide the necessary information and support they needed (e.g., review materials). This initiative was intentionally undertaken to empower our future HR practitioners,โ Lodana shared.
Lodana also emphasized that this achievement reflects not only academic preparation but also the strong values upheld within the organization and the college.
โAt JPMAP-BU, we uphold excellence as one of our five flames or pillarsโvalues that we embody and advocate among our members. This achievement is a testament to our continuous pursuit of excellence. We take pride in grounding this success in the culture we have built within our communityโone that reflects studentsโ discipline, determination, and commitment to professional development. We also believe that recognition through an industry-renowned certification program reflects CBEMโs commitment to fostering student growth both academically and professionally.โ
Lodana also extended a message of congratulations to the successful examinees:
โOn behalf of JPMAP-BU, we extend our warmest congratulations to our newly certified Human Resource Associates. Beyond professional recognition, this achievement serves as a testament to your competence, commitment, and consistency. As you move forward, may this milestone inspire you to pursue further success in both personal and professional endeavors.โ
Meanwhile, Mx. Chano R. Maceda, President of JPMAP-BU, shared advice for future examinees, encouraging students to approach the examination with confidence and purpose.
โTo future exam takers, let this serve as inspiration to follow the path of those who came before us. Do not let the weight of these exams become pressure to perform; instead, let it be a motivation that drives you to go beyond your best. If you ever find yourself doubting your potential, remember that you are more than capable of succeeding. Together, let us remain focused, motivated, and determined to pursue professional growth and achieve excellence,โ Maceda said.
The CHRA is a comprehensive assessment examination designed to measure foundational knowledge in the field of Human Resource Management. It covers core HR functions such as recruitment and selection, learning and development, compensation and benefits, performance management, job analysis and design, and risk management. The examination also emphasizes labor and HR-related laws, ensuring that examinees possess a clear and in-depth understanding of the legal frameworks essential to HR practice.โ๐๐ธ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐บ, ๐๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ง ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ
