Student Shares How Terminally Mom Saved Money for His Review Center Payment
A student shares how his terminally mom saved money for his review center payment. He lost her a year before he enrolls at the review center but has surely made her proud after he passed several college entrance exams and received scholarship offers!
Review for CETs
Review centers are not just for those who wish to pass the Civil Service Exams or the board exams in various professions but also for other types of tests. For example, there are also dedicated review centers for those who wish to seek help for college entrance tests (CETs).
While it is not required, of course, going to a review center can give exam takers a big boost as they are provided with lessons that might potentially be included in exams given by various universities and colleges.

With that in mind, Cristina Eugenio saved money to ensure that her son, Christopher Eugenio, can have enough funds to go to a review center after his graduation from senior high school. Terminally ill, Cristina was not sure how long she had left, but knew that she could help prepare for her sonâs future by making him enroll at a review center.
Christopher lost his mother last year. But this young man made sure to follow her wishes. He enrolled at a review center and managed to pass the entrance exams at several universities. Surely, his mother would be proud of his achievements!

This young man was able to pass the CETs at Saint Louis University in Baguio City, the University of the Philippines, and the University of Santo Tomas. He even got a really high score and ranked among the Top 10 exam placers at Saint Louis University; thus, he was offered full scholarship.
He also passed the rigorous tests to become a DOST scholar! Wow!
âMa! đ Iskolar na ako ng bayan â€đ,â he wrote in a heartbreaking tweetâŠ
What is DOST Scholarship?
This scholarship is funded by the Philippine government through the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
Qualifiers may pursue a four- or five-year college degree in priority science and technology fields and will be provided with tuition subsidy, monthly stipend, book allowance, and other allowances. Application for DOST scholarship is open to students in the STEM strand but non-STEM students may also apply provided they belong to the top 5% of their graduating class.

Taxi Driver Praised after Rescuing Stray Cat in the Middle of Highway
So many animals are getting hit by vehicles along the worldâs busy highways, but one cat was saved by a taxi driver who stopped his vehicle to save it from the middle of the highway! Isnât that wonderful?
Taxi Driver Saves Stray Cat from Highway
It is really so sad that there are millions of animals that get hit by vehicles along the worldâs busy highways because these creatures have no idea that these fast-moving machines are heading to their direction.
But it is nice to hear stories of people who stop to help these creatures to safety.

Kenn Migan Vincent Gumonan was driving along a national highway in Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City in southern Philippines last January 13, 2021 at around 9:47 AM when he saw the taxi ahead of him stop all of a sudden. He was curious why the driver stopped.
Moments later, the driver of the said taxi went out of the vehicle to check underneath. Whatever it is under the car was not yet visible to Gumonan at the time, but the taxi driver drove the vehicle a bit forward and revealed a cat!

Gumonan watched happily as the taxi driver tried his best to catch the cat without spooking it. After all, if the cat gets spooked, it might suddenly run across the street and get hit by the other passing vehicles that might not notice the small figure moving in that highway.

It was a good thing that the taxi driver managed to catch the stray cat. He left his vehicle as he crossed the street, bringing the cat to safety. Unknown to him, Gumonan was cheering at his actions and would later share the video on Facebook where his heroic deeds went viral.

Kudos to this kindhearted taxi driver!
Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions (WVCs)
Increasing automobile speed has contributed a lot to the rapid rise in wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs). This is also due to many roads being created along places that have once been home to many animals. Moreover, a lot of drivers in recent years donât pay too much attention to the road as they are distracted by their mobile phones or just want to move at higher speeds to reach their destinations more quickly.

3-Year-Old Kid Wows with Savings of Php77k, Parents Claim They Donât Spend His Gifts
It is a common joke that parents often âkeepâ their childrenâs monetary gifts, but actually spend it for food or something else! But a nearly 3-year-old kid wows with savings of Php77k because his parents claimed that they donât spend his gifts at all. Wow.
Kid Saves Php77k from Gifts
A lot of ninongs, ninangs, and even family members prefer to give monetary gifts instead of buying something because they have a hard time picking the right gift that the receiver might like. After all, kids (and even adults!) can be so picky when it comes to things they want.
But it is also a common joke (and reality) that parents tell the kids they will âkeepâ the money but actually spend it for the household needs, such as food or paying for bills.
While thatâs a worthwhile way of spending the money, there are also parents who disagree with this arrangement. After all, the giver had given the money for the child/receiver to buy something that he/she wanted.

Jarlo Manalad recently shared how their nearly 3-year-old son has Php77k in savings because they donât spend any of the monetary gifts that he received. The money came from so many people who love the kid â ninongs, ninangs, relatives, and family friends.
Even if someone gave them something for the childâs birthday or special event, the couple decided to keep the money as the childâs savings. Manalad promised that any money given by anyone in the future will also go to this savings fund.
Aside from this money, the couple also saves Php200 per pay day for the childâs future educational funds. They hope that they could fund the childâs college education with their salaries but might use the money they saved for it.
The post has gone viral, with many people expressing admiration to these parents for the kind of attitude they have for their sonâs money.
Building an Educational Fund
It is a big reality that college education can be so expensive. Thatâs why it is best to start saving for it when your kids are still small.
First, set your tuition fund goals. Create a savings strategy such as setting aside the money for savings before budgeting the rest of your salary. Some would suggest investing the money to grow it but others believe it is best to put it in the bank. Make sure to track your progress to inspire you to continue saving.

Recently, a teacher showed that their work really isnât done even outside their duties inside the school. Irish Jeanne Bautista wowed netizens after she replied to a studentâs message even if she was busy preparing for her wedding.

Though she was already busy at the time with wedding preparations, the teacher took time to reply to the student. She was not able to resolve the girlâs query, but the teacher made sure that the student did not feel that she was being ignored.
âWait lang, Larah⊠Ikakasal lang si Maâam. Replyan kita later,â the teacher replied, with matching emojis.
