Nineteen-year old John Gabriel Pelias has set a new record in the history of the University of the Philippines after garnering the highest general weighted average (GWA) since post World War II. His GWA of 1.016 eclipsed the 1.193 GWA attained in 1948 by professor emeritus Emerenciana Yuvienco Arcellana.

John Gabriel Pelias is graduating as summa cum laude with a B.S. Mathematics degree this Saturday (April 16). He is the University's Valedictorian for this year.

When the university registrar's records were checked though, Pelias' grade is a bit lower than that of Exequiel Sevilla's, a B.S. Commerce Major in Business Administration graduate, who still holds the record of the highest GWA with his flat 1.0 in 1927.

  4. Whooo! I really didn't know that John excels in everything. I was his classmate last semester in our French subject! And yes! He was really good at it! He got 1.0! And because he was so jolly and easy to be with. I didn't know that he could reach this far! Congratulations John! I'm so proud! :)
