My name is Allanah D. Alfaro from Quezon City, currently studying in St. Patrick School
of Quezon City. I took the USTET on September 27, 2015 for college admissions under the
pretext that I was going to graduate high school the following year. However, a few days after I
took the exam, I was informed by the school that I am no longer going to graduate because the
Department of Education enforced a memorandum requiring the students to take the K-12
program, and it included my school. Before the school year started, my school told me that my
classmates and I would graduate this year without any problem since we are not under the K-12
program. It was only this September that we were informed that such was not the case.
I am humbly requesting if I may take the USTET again for admission to senior high in
order to complete the K-12 program. Hoping for your favorable response. Good day and God
Bless!
Sincerely,

Allanah D. Alfaro
