Congratulations to Ramon B. Lim and Cathelyn Yabut, a newly passed Real Estate Brokers

A few days ago, I was informed by my mom regarding the release of the November 25, 2007 Real Estate Brokers Licensure Examination held in key cities in the Philippines. I felt astonished and excited upon learning that my colleague in the real estate industry, Mr. Ramon B. Lim, who has been working for our realty firm since 2005 has achieved a great feat in his life by successfully passing this challenging exam over many trials he endured in the past while Ms. Cathelyn Yabut joined the company this year.

Ramon has been a companion during our review back in October 2005 at the Metro Angeles Realtor Board (MAREB) - PAREB Comprehensive Real Estate Seminar and Review in Angeles City together with some colleagues whom we have kept in touch with in the past years and exchange some listings from time to time eventhough we are from different groups, I from Real Estate Brokers Association of The Philippines (REBAP) while they are from Philippine Association of Realtors Board (PAREB).

I have checked on this article at Philstar.com written last November 30, 2007 upon its release to view for myself and give him a round of applause.
