MANILA-BASED CIVIL ENGINEERING REVIEW
CENTERS (Directory)

(CIVIL ENGINEERING BOARD EXAM REVIEW TIPS/STRATEGIES SERIES)

Updated: September 6, 2015

By: Dindo Mojica, C.E., M.Eng
A good review center program should be viewed by the students as a
wise investment in passing the Civil Engineering Board
Examinations. CE students/graduates must pay for the skills and
knowledge of licensed civil engineer lecturers who have a special
study of the CE licensure examination types and contents as
prescribed by the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC).

By means of lectures, techniques and demos, lecturers/reviewers
pass their wisdom along to reviewees. The ability of a review center
to increase the reviewees’ chances of success depends on the
review center’s program. Review centers aid and assist students for
better chances of passing the licensure exams. Usually, this kind of
review method will only be effective if the student/reviewee will do
his/her part.

6. ESPLANA ENGINEERING REVIEW CENTER

Commonly Called: Esplana
Esplana Engineering Review Center was the youngest review center
(up to now). It was founded on November 2011 by Engr. Dindo F.
Esplana, May 2001 CE Board First Placer of Mapua Institute of
Technology, a former lecturer of Experts Review Center, and
reviewed at Besavilla and Padilla. Majority of the CE subjects are
conducted by himself.

Services Offered:


One (1) week free trial – you may attend his review classes for
free within a week (seat-in)



No Reservation Fee

Mission
To help aspiring civil engineers achieve high pass marks in the
licensure examination by imparting a wide and thorough knowledge
in all mathematics and civil engineering subjects, by offering radical,
straightforward, and shortcut methods in problem-solving; and by
inculcating effective review habits.
To revolutionize the prevailing system for CE board review in the
Philippines through newly-devised strategies in problem solving and
unconventional approaches in teaching.
Company Overview

Esplana Engineering Review Center is the brainchild of Engineer
Dindo Francisco Esplana in his advocacy to revolutionize the board
exam review system for aspiring civil engineers by discarding
obsolete and antiquated methods in teaching. It is an offshoot of his
astounding achievement in the May 2001 CE Licensure Exam where
he copped First Place with an unprecedented 98.5%, a feat that
etched his name in board exam history. Moreover, his almost
decade-long experience as an unconventional mathematicianlecturer makes him the foremost authority in CE board review.
Unlike most review centers which are highly profit-oriented but which
thrive on outdated pedagogical techniques, Esplana Engineering
Review Center values quality and service over monetary gains as
signified by its free trial review program which gives reviewees
leeway to choose the best. This allows them to discover for
themselves the effectiveness of the radical techniques for solving
algebraic to project management problems.
The center envisions not only to help hopefuls to hurdle the board
exam with superior pass marks through coaching, performancemonitoring, and mock-board exams, but also to equip them with
practical knowledge they can utilize when they eventually enter the
field industry.
Tuition Fee/Promos: (prices/promos may change without prior notice)

GROUP

-

CIVIL

The Tatualla Review Group (TRG) is established and managed by
the Tatualla Family. They started in reviewing and inspiring Nursing
graduates for the licensure exams. Proven to be successful in
achieving their goals for several years, they are in the stage of
expanding TRG services by adding a branch for Civil Engineering
review courses (2012). Being one of the most credible Civil
Engineers in the family, Engr. Sarah Marie Tatualla Dichoso
(oftentimes called as Engr. Lala) was appointed as the Program
Director for CE Review. She is an alumna of Mapua Institute of
Technology and graduated with honors. In order to meet her elite
standard of achieving the best quality of review, she has hired
exceptional Lecturers who will provide you with the set of knowledge,
skills, guidance and techniques necessary in succeeding the
licensure exams.
Most people challenged them with these remarks, "Why choose to
build another review center for Civil Engineering when there are too
many of them already and not to mention, they are all vast and
distinguished?"
Theirr goals are to impart our knowledge to their reviewees by
stipulating them with quality and holistic review program supported by
our brilliant reviewers, provided at a reasonable cost. We aim to
replace their fears in the licensure exams with the level of confidence
that a future Civil Engineer must encompass.
Driven by our objectives, we foresee to become a reputable review
center for Civil Engineering believing that no matter how tiny you are,
you can always play a part in the success of the industry as long as
you are enthusiastic and your heart is into it. Those vast and
distinguished review centers in the market are our motivation today.
We in TRG-CE will do our best to be an icon of inspiration tomorrow.

It was year 2009, I was still jobless , with no job prospect
and very little money left. I resigned from a teaching job in
Saudi Aramco , Saudi Arabia. I was still then recovering
from a bout of depression caused by what happened from
my best friends from UE as well as my bad experience from
my job out there in Saudi Arabia. During this time, I am
very grateful to Dr. Amelia Marquez (President of
Megareview) who helped me recover. In this period , I
shifted my energy to conceptualizing the idea of Calculator
Techniques , I integrated my work in my review classes and
did extensive research on how the Calculator can be utilized
in its optimum use. A lot of ideas I wrote from my books
were taken from my special classes MATH ENHANCEMENT

being offered by my previous employer. Two of my
students, Eric and Edison volunteered to design the
CALCULATOR Keys. I extended Calculator Techniques to
Math, Mechanics, Engineering Economy, Design and
Construction , Fluid Mechanics , Hydraulics and Numerical
Methods. They got excellent feedbacks, from teachers,
students and my colleagues. My first book Calculator
Techniques sold already more than five thousand copies
from its 1st printing in year 2011. During my critical times,
My best friend and my adopted son by principle Mico Algaba
had stayed with me with the selling, promotion and
distribution of the books. A lot of people had laugh at my
work then, but now they are already imitating my work in
their lectures , reading materials and even in their
promotion. After some time, The wheel of fortune revolved
favorably for my favorite teacher Engineer Adelia Rocamora
(who happens to be the Vice President of a big time
Transporation Company) who showed extreme grit ,
strength and determination despite the odds that finally she
won the case against a titan UE. My friends Engineer
Veronica Masangkay ,now a big time Project Manager of
TCGI and Engineer Gertrudo Regondola (a proud faculty of
Ateneo De Naga University) is expected to reap the same
benefits. Today I am a regular faculty of my beloved school ,
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY (THE HOME OF THE CHAMPIONS)
and is expected to dominate also the academics in the
coming years). It simply proved that you cannot put good
men and women down.
I thank the Lord for everything that happened.
Today Calculator Techniques will be one of the major selling
point of the Newly Establihed Civil Engineering Review
School, Tolentino and Associates Review School.
