Acknowledgment

I would like to express my profound gratitude to the following people who help in making me an Extraordinary UP Student!

To my Mamang and Papang,

Thank you po sa lahat-lahat ng tinuro nyo po. Proud po ako sa inyo dahil I became the person I should be dahil po sa inyo. Congrats mang and pang! Kahit nasa malayo ako ngayon, you will always be my inspiration na makamit ang mga pangarap ko.

To Ate Joyjoy, Jr and Lynlyn,

I thank you, my dearest sis and bro sa lahat ng mga ngiti at saya na pinagsamahan natin for almost 16 years. Hope to see you soon. God bless in your studies. Gogogo!

To Tinang,

To my dearest aunt who was there always to support mamang and papang, and also I, in times of difficulties, and also happiness, thank you!

To my Alma Mater,

Sta. Clara Elementary School and Sta. Clara National High School were my second home. To you I gave my gratitude in molding me intellectually. Without you, I may not be here now.

To Balay Ilonggo Dormitory,

My first home in Iloilo, where I stayed for almost one year, Thank you. Smile, tears, laughter, anger, sorrow, lonesome is Balay Ilonggo. Though it was yesterday, it is part of my life which won’t be erased.

To Pangkat Lingkod Bayan (PALABAN Party),

This organization gave (and has been giving) me the meaning of the words ‘friendship’, ‘home away from home’ and ‘PANDA (Principled, Autonomous, Nationalistic, Democratic and Active). Thank you PALABAN.

To UPV Navigators and Youth for Christ,

My college life will never be complete without your existence. Keep on spreading Good News to the world and acknowledge God’s Greatness. God is good, all the Time.

To OSA and Bello Scholarship Program,

You are the reasons of my continuous existence here in the university. Without you, I might stop studying and totally forgetting my wish list. Thank you so much!

To UP,

I did not expect I could be in yours. It might be a destiny. Thank you UP for providing students like me who are poor but deserving of a UP Education. You are indeed the answers of every poor youth’s cry. You are the hope of the ‘hope of the motherland’.

To Madam Corazon Del Mundo,

Your book (or, you per se) inspired me. It has given me the motivation and faith to believe in my dreams. Thank you so much. You are truly EXTRAORDINARY, Madam.

And to all my friends from the day I first learn from learning and until now that I have grown up already, thank you for being part of my life. You made my life EXTRAORDINARY!
