Poverty: a strong motivation to succeedWednesday, 21 March 2012 08:14 | | |
Poverty motivates people to succeed in life. Take the case of Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago who triumphed over poverty because of her brilliance and upright determination. The same is true with Jolina Labrador, a twelve- year old Pantawid Pamilya beneficiary from Mayantoc, Tarlac. Jolina is second among the three children of Mang Gerry, 39 and Aling Generosa, 40. Mang Gerry is a construction worker and earns a minimum amount of P 250.00 daily. Out of his small income, Aling Generosa derives all their household expenses including the school allowance of their three children. The eldest Jennifer is a 2nd year high school student while the youngest Gerry Jr. is a Grade 3 pupil; both are doing well in their respective classes.
