MANILA, Philippines – A beauty queen from Cebu secured the top spot in the August 2018 pharmacist board exam.
Louise Tan Theunis of the Cebu Doctor’s University (CDU) impressed everyone to show that she more than just a pretty face. The 19-year-old who graduated magna cum laude shared that it was really through hardwork and dedication that she became pharmacist board exam’s topnotcher with a score of 91.55 percent.
Theunis said, “It's just consistency, studying everyday and make sure you have your schedule and stick to it. Just really work hard and make an effort, teach yourself and make sure you understand.”
The Belgian-Filipina is also a stunner as she won first runner-up in the Ms. Mandaue pageant in Cebu back in 2016. She was also their school’s Ms. Intramurals first runner-up.
Theunis said that her inspiration to strive for the best in life is her parents. Her father, who was born in Zamboanga City holds a PhD in entomology. Her mother worked for a foreign research institute.
Theunis is among the 2,927 out of 4,230 takers who passed the Pharmacist Licensure Examination announced by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) on Wednesday.

"I look up to him (dad) and my mom is also a smart person, she had a hard life and she was poor yet she was still able to graduate as cum laude and landed a researcher job. So I just look up to my parents so much and I also wanted to keep on striving to serve as an inspiration to my brothers as well for them also to keep on going,” Theunis said.
