The Provincial Government of Pampanga, led by Governor Lilia ‘Nanay’ Pineda, recognized 349 Kapampangan board passers during a ceremony held at the Capitol Grounds.

The recognition formed part of the province’s continuing support for newly licensed professionals, with the governor personally congratulating the passers and commending their dedication and perseverance in completing their licensure examinations.

Since assuming office in 2025, Pineda has assisted around 1,000 board passers through similar initiatives.

As part of the program, the provincial government extended financial assistance of up to ₱15,000 to each passer to help them as they begin their professional careers.

Among the beneficiaries was Ericka Kim Manalo, who recently earned her license as a Registered Nurse after passing the November 2025 examinations. She expressed gratitude for the support, noting that the assistance would serve as a meaningful start in her career.

Also present during the distribution were Board Members Cherry Manalo, Christian Halili, Atty. Claire Lim, Dra. Kaye Naguit, Provincial Administrator Atty. Charlie Chua, Executive Assistant IV Angelina Blanco, Atty. Ananias Canlas Jr., and KALAM Chief Buddy Dungca.

The provincial government reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Kapampangan professionals as they transition into the workforce.
