ENGR. JOHN FILEMON T. TORRES
Engr. John Filemon
T. Torres, a 2007 BS Aeronautical Engineering graduate
of PATTS College of Aeronautics, Lombos Avenue, San
Isidro, Parañaque City, topped this year’s
Aeronautical Engineering Board Licensure Examinations
administered last November 20 – 22, 2007 by
the Professional Regulations Commission. Since its
inception in 1983, a PATTSEAN, for the 21st time,
again reaped the much-coveted top slot. This 21-year-old
Topnotcher is one of the five children of businessman,
Mr. Filemon Torres and accountant Amabel Torres. It
wasn’t really that big a surprise to the delighted
parents. Graduating as the first Magna Cum Laude in
the Aeronautical Engineering Department, Engr. Torres
was bent on “living it up to his title”.
To condition his mind, four months before the Board
exam, he wrote on a piece of paper that he was going
to top the exam. True enough, he ranked “first”,
despite the tough schedule of reviewing after his
office work as Junior Structures Engineer at the Structures
and Systems Section of Lufthansa Technik Philippines,
and attending his review classes at the PATTS Review
Center on weekends. The PATTS Review Center is under
the close supervision and guidance of licensed and
experienced engineers. The new engineer will be leaving
sometime in January for a ten-day training at Alteon,
a Boeing company in Seattle. Engr. Torres was the
VP for Internal Affairs of TSAA, Technical Subjects
Academic Assistance, the 4th year Representative of
his course organization AERO, Aeronautical Engineering
Research Organization and a Finalist of the Inter-University
Search for the Engineering Math Wizard, during his
College days at PATTS. |
