Much
of our place was very mountainous and we could only either walk or
take the habal habal when going around. From our barangay to the
Municipality proper was a 5 kilometer walk or trek through beautiful
rolling hills. I had a lot of friends and became quite famous for my
reputation as an achiever. I studied at the St. Anthony School in
Carmen, this was a private school and I was in effect a scholar at
the school. I competed against the best of the best of Carmen which
had some 27 villages. Soon enough I accomplished much again in this
school despite not being materially endowned, I graduated as
Salutorian in St. Anthony's Academy.
After a few years, I told
myself I wanted to study in Manila. So I went to Manila. Here I took
odd jobs and when I had enough money I enrolled for the 1st
time in College at TIP in 1999.
