NU’s Ar. Shaunn Remzzo T. Blanco, led the 1370 (out of 2205) board passers, taking the top spot with an overall rating of 83.50% in the January 2022 Architect Licensure Examination.
A son of a registered nurse and an architect, Shaunn dreamt to be an architect since he was young, “When I was a child, I (only) wanted to build my mom her dream house. But when I entered this profession, (I realized) it wasn’t just about building houses or structures, it is actually about creating these and the special experiences that everyone would remember.”
His father wanted him to become an engineer, but he was always inspired and fascinated with what his father did. He then talked to his godfather who shared a lot of things about National U. ‘’One thing I remember was when he talked about prestigious and famous architects from NU, that’s when I realized that if National University was able to produce those architects, then they can mold me into the architect I’ve always dreamt to be.”
A strong believer of practicing integrity, one of National University’s core values. Shaunn Blanco sees the importance of this core value in his chosen profession. Blanco stressed that “integrity defines how we continue to uphold our ideals as architects.”
Like Blanco, young Bulakeños can also achieve their dream as National University brings quality education closer to home by inaugurating its first campus in Central Luzon at SM City Baliwag in Bulacan.
Located at the Annex Building of SM City Baliwag, the 14,259.13square meter campus could accommodate at least 6,000 students once face-to-face class resumes. NU Baliwag aims to provide National University’s high standards of educational services not just to students in the first- Class Urban Municipality of Baliwag, but also in some parts of Bulacan, as far as Pampanga.
In the meantime, it adapts to the new normal by virtually opening its doors to students for online classes. Last August of 2020, it introduced the Flexible Learning Experience (NU FLEX), which focuses on blending remote asynchronous and synchronous learning, a mix of scheduled classes and recorded lectures that are accessible anytime and anywhere.
NU Baliwag offers wide and comprehensive programs such as BS in Business Administration Major in Marketing Management, BS in Business Administration Major in Financial Management, BS in Accountancy, BS in Tourism Management, BS in Hospitality Management, BS in Psychology, BS in Civil Engineering, BS in Computer Engineering, BS in Information Technology, and BS in Architecture. Recently, the campus opened slots for Senior High School Strands: ABM, HUMSS and STEM.
