    Well, the silence of the Cebu schools since this article was posted is finally broken. The May 2009 CPA board exam showed two Cebu school topnotchers - 5th place goes to USJ-R and the 8th place goes to UC.

    two Cebu schools as well were national top performing schools in their own category - 2nd place is USJ-R (next to De La Salle) and 3rd place goes to USC.
