Taipei, 20 June 2025 — The Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taiwan proudly announces that it ranked highest in the recently concluded Special Professional Licensure Examinations (SPLE) held from 07 to 09 June 2025. With a passing rate of 66.67%, Taiwan topped the list among the ten international testing venues where the exams were administered.
 
 
This year marks the pilot run of the SPLE in Taiwan, making the achievement all the more significant.
 
MECO Chairperson and Resident Representative Atty. Cheloy E. Velicaria-Garafil, MNSA, expressed her elation at the results: “This is the best news I’ve received today. It’s a very welcome development, especially since this is the first time MECO Taiwan has hosted the SPLE. This achievement truly reflects the resilience, excellence, and global competitiveness of our OFWs in Taiwan.”
