Tanyag told GMA News Online that he was watching a movie when he was informed through text message that he had topped the exam.
Before the exam, he said he was not expecting anything. "Nakatulog pa nga ako nung theoretical. Nag-alala seatmates ko na baka hindi ako magising," he said.
"Pero mataas naman yung grade, kaya feeling ko baka may chance ako kaya gagalingan ko na sa practical," recalled Tanyag.
Tanyag shared that the practical exam is pageant-like, with some students competing to have the best-looking preparation and the best-looking work.
"Pero ang purpose is to determine kung sino yung legally na puwede mag-practice," he said.
"But it's not a reason for you not to do your best," said the topnotcher.
Tanyag said he hopes to set up a private clinic.
Asked if he will teach at UP, he said he is not sure. "Kasi may reputation na ako doon na pasaway. I don't see myself as a good example. Puro kasi patawa ginagawa ko. Lahat daw ginagawan ko ng shortcut," he said.
Of the total 183 examinees, 175 passed the exams, with the University of the East and Centro Escolar University as the top performing schools. But six of those in the Top-10 list were from the University of the Philippines-Manila.
The results were released a day after the last day of examinations and were posted on the official website. The complete list of successful examinees may be viewed at http://www.prc.gov.ph/documents/DENT0611se.pdf — LBG, GMA News
