I value education so much. I asked myself if I could really go to college since my father (Carlos Lacanlale) is a construction worker and my mother (Dolly Lacanlale) is a housewife only. My dream was made possible because of Alfredo M. Yao (AMY) Foundation partnered with my determination and hard work. The foundation is not just a simple program that helps those students who are willing to study but a sunlight that beams to those flowers (students) who are about to wither (lose hope).

“And as a proof of the saying that “hard work pays off” I graduated as a Cum Laude and took an oath as a newly passed Certified Public Accountant. All of this was made possible by this Foundation. Words are never enough to show how thankful I am, so instead, I promised to pay the blessing I received forward, to help another youth who is a victim of unpleasant circumstances to achieve his dreams through studying.”
