Cedeño of the University of Perpetual Help System Laguna ranked eighth with a score of 92.60 percent among the takers of the LEPT Elementary Level.
Also included in the top examinees for the LEPT Secondary Level were Joseph Matthew Delmiguez of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) and Exequiel Bagtidon of the Batangas State University (BatStateU) – Lipa Campus. Delmiguez and Bagtidon both ranked tenth in the country with a score of 93.00 percent.
