"I knew before I started college that our lives would become more difficult. The mere fact that we don't have enough resources to cover my school fees and other school-related expenses, is already quite impossible for me to finish the program. But I am fortunate that the University of Pangasinan-PHINMA granted me a 50% HK scholarship, which helped to alleviate our family's financial burden. I also would like to express my profound gratitude to all of the instructors and professors in the Criminology Program for instilling in me the significance of education in attaining life goals."
