Konichiwa(Hi)! I’m Hector A. Patang, 17 years old, the last child of Mr. Rodulfo M. Patang of Bocos, Banaue, Ifugao and Mrs. Fe A. Patang of Bokod, Tublay from their six masculine children but we are currently residing at #115 Lower Poblacion, Sablan, Benguet. Moreover, a grateful and a proud BIBAKNET’s scholar under the sponsorship of Mr. Lynn Macalingay.
How did I become a BIBAKNET’s scholar? What and who drove me to pursue my studies? Before I became a scholar I’ve been on great stresses in life that challenged my impetus in pursuing my studies and achieving my goals. The greatest happened on December 09, 2006; in this day was our departure from BSU, L.T.B. because we attended the Provincial Meet. When I arrived home, my relatives told me that my father was rushed to the hospital. My worried mother told me that she needs to follow my father in the hospital but she doesn’t have money. So I gave my savings to her.
On the 11th day of that month, I can’t understand my emotions when I heard the news that my beloved father died due to cerebral hemorrhage. But one thing for sure, I’m in the denial stage of grieving. To cut the story short, the burial day was on December 14, 2006. Thank you so much to all the people who in one way or another supported us in that time of grief. May the good Lord bless and keep you always. In spite of that crippling loss, on March 2007, I Herman my older brother graduated High School. Moreover, I and Herman’s older brother named Hadji who is an NCIP scholar also graduated BSN and a Registered Nurse at present.
After our graduation, my mother told me that she can no longer send me to college because of financial constraint and I replied to her with confident “if you can no longer send me to school, I will help myself, I will pursue my studies and finish a course no matter what happens.” In the next morning, my mother joyfully told me to enroll in a vocational school. Then, we went to BSBT to ask for necessary queries. My mother asked queries to an employee assigned in the registrars office and was informed about the scholarship program of the BIBAKNETS, with surprise and interest she asked on how to apply and the employee interviewed my mother why I need a scholarship. As a parent she knows her responsibility, she then narrated the great loss of my father who supported us financially, physically and emotionally in the pursuance of our studies. A responsible father who always guides us in the right way to enjoy life. Even though he was an elementary undergraduate, a farmer and a proud carver I could proudly say that he is wise because he wanted and taught us to learn from others experience before it comes to us. Furthermore, when my mother was narrating she noticed the employee was nearly to cry so to bring back the environment conducive for conversation she then put a good sense of humor in their conversation. With that employee’s golden heart she then asked me to submit my form 138 card complete all the requirements for the scholarship and I enrolled the course HRS. In the first semester, my scholarship was not still approved so I paid the my full tuition fee. When ma’am Philian knew about it she recommended me to Mr. Lynn Macalingay and he joyfully accept me. In the second semester, he started paying my tuition fees until now that I’m a candidate for graduation , thanks to you Mr. Lynn Macalingay.
With regards to the processing of my tuition fee payments I’ve experience a little delays. One great experience happened during the payment of my tuition this semester Mrs. Malus Fangasan (1st treasurer of BIBAKNET’S org.) working at BSU officer in charge of the signing of papers of my tuition fee settlement was out of the country. I thought I could not pay my tuition on time but thanks to Mr. Jerome Gawidan (2nd treasurer of BIBAKNET’s org.) who voluntarily lend me some of his money to settle my tuition on time. Then, I and Mr. Jerome withdraw the exact amount in my sponsor’s bank account to replenish Mr. Jerome’s money.
To all the people I’ve met, to the people I will meet, thank you so much to your unending love, concern, encouragements, moral and financial support especially to ma’am Philian, my sponsor Mr. Lynn Macalingay and my beloved mother. I will always treasure the priceless goodness of your hearts. In return, I will be a person you always prayed and want me to be.
Finally, to Almighty God who shared us the beauties of this world and who engraved faith hope and love in our hearts for us to share these beauties to everyone.
