Yocela Cagatin, 17 years old, daughter of Victoria Cagatin, laundry woman and Yosel Cagatin, fisherman and farmer, from the Limasawa Island, Southern Leyte, graduated as Class Valedictorian last year.

In a tearful statement, she shared, “Our family income actually depends on the weather. Sa time na lain ang panahon o may bagyo o habagat nga diin dagko ang bawud, diri kapanagat. Maapektuhan gud amon pageskwela. Danai nanagat hi tatay bisan maraot it panahon para makapalit kami anom panginahanglanon. Lucky enough umulpot an Pantawid Pamilya ha amon isla. Kini nga programa dako gud nga tabang sa education ug health. Damo gud nga salamat. There are still many arduous challenges that await us. Have faith in God. Let us keep moving and stay focus. My family and I are very proud to be Limasawan and a Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program household beneficiary.”
