Woman Passes Physician Board Exams She Took While in Labor

Her water broke at 2AM on the last day of the Physician’s Licensure Examination, but Eunice Stefanelle Sibuyan monitored herself and remained calm so the proctors had no idea that she was actively on active labor while taking the exams! Thankfully, she passed and is now a licensed physician.

In a post on Facebook, the new doctor shared a photo of her pregnant self, with her husband kissing her belly. In the same post, she also shared pictures of their 1-week-old baby from whose perspective she narrated the story of her unusual board exam experience.

In Sibuyan’s post, baby Graeden Euri shared the triumphs Mommy (Sibuyan) had to endure just to become a doctor and also have a baby at the same time.

One week before the board exams, Sibuyan was already 1-2cm dilated and about 60% effaced. Labor was certainly going to happen anytime soon, but she was determined to take the board exams. With the help of her doctor friends, she was able to prolong the labor a little bit longer through injections.

A day before her last 2 days of exams, Sibuyan was already spotting and experiencing hypogastric pain, sure signs that labor is on the way, but science came to the rescue as she injected Terbutaline.

Then, on the last day of the exams, her water broke at 2AM! She didn’t tell anyone, even her husband, because she knew they would rush her to the hospital. So, she took the exams while on active labor.

In the morning, the contractions were still every 15-30 min but as the hours progressed, the regular contractions came every 3 minutes. Despite the struggle, Sibuyan did her best to answer as many of the items as she could, hoping that she could still remember the correct answers even while she was having a really painful and difficult time.

As soon as she completed all the tests, she walked outside the testing center where her husband was waiting but she was already 10-cm dilated at the time – and the baby was truly ready to come out!

They had a difficult time finding a cab; thus, she was taken to the hospital at the testing site. It was a good thing the testing site had one because baby Euri was born shortly afterwards.

Though the child would be taken back to the hospital for neonatal sepsis, he survived.

Three days after completing the tests and giving birth to baby Euri, Sibuyan learned that she passed the licensure exams. It was a double celebration!

SHS Student Brings Photos of Late Parents on Graduation Day

A senior high school (SHS) student brought framed photos of her late parents on her graduation day, touching many hearts and making netizens cry.

Her story has gone viral, with many netizens cheering her on and praying for her success in life…

SHS Student Brings Photos of Late Parents on Graduation Day

Graduation day is one of the best days in a student’s life, but it’s not always the happiest for all.

Some also experience a bittersweet moment because their loved ones aren’t with them. While many are due to having OFW parents who can’t be home for the special, others are because the parents have already passed on.

SHS student Juvelyn Dela Torre Eugenio, 18, of North Cotabato made netizens cry after she carried her parents’ framed photos as she marched and posed on stage to receive her diploma.

She explained that during recognition days and other special events when she was younger, it was always her mother who would accompany her on stage.

She wants to share her success and milestones with her parents, but they’re no longer around.

They lost their father to heart failure in July 2020.

In 2022, the siblings decided to let their mother enjoy a vacation with her older children in Manila, only to discover that she was sick and already in the terminal stages of a stage 4 battle with the Big C. They lost her shortly thereafter.

Juvelyn shared that losing their parents took a toll on her mental health, especially because she had to stand as a parent to her younger brother.

On graduation day, she vowed that she wouldn’t cry despite seeing all the other students with their parents.

But she broke down on stage when a concerned teacher asked her about her parents and offered words of consolation after she showed her their photos.

Despite the challenges, Juvelyn plans on continuing her journey as she dreams of becoming a lawyer someday.

Elementary Students Praised for Playing “One Day” Using Ukuleles

Elementary students at a school in Mindanao earned praise online after playing “One Day” using their ukuleles for a presentation.

Many netizens were impressed about their skills, with some commenting that it’s a difficult piece to play on a ukulele, yet most of them nailed it! Wow.

Elementary Students Play “One Day” Using Their Ukuleles

A lot of people these days have this mistaken notion that kids are only fond of using cellphones and no longer enjoy playing with traditional toys or learning how to use a traditional musical instrument – because you can find lots of options for those online or with their phones.

But a group of students from Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School impressed netizens with their skills in playing the ukulele as they presented “One Day” for the school’s 100-year celebration.

Seated on the steps of their school, the kids played the musical instruments seamlessly, except for a few issues.

And while some netizens pointed out that one of the kids appear to be struggling with the proper chords and kept shifting around during the entire performance, the overall presentation is still quite impressive!

Many netizens even commented on the post of the Facebook page “Kung Taga-Oroquieta City Ka” that they were deeply touched by the kids’ presentation and were crying while watching. Awww.

A lot also praised the coaches who made this possible – and others felt proud of the children even if they had no idea who these little ones are.

It’s also quite impressive to see that the class had so many ukuleles. It is unknown whether the kids own the musical instruments or if the school provided them, but what’s clear is that their presentation is truly admirable.

What’s a Ukulele?

A ukulele is a type of string musical instrument that’s smaller than a guitar. It usually has nylon strings as opposed to the metal used in standard guitars.

The instrument also has four strings but isn’t considered a “kid’s instrument” only. Instead, it can be played by kids and adults alike.

Apparently, based on her mom’s post on Facebook, she had also self-reviewed for the licensure exams – and this made her success even sweeter for the family.

In the post of her mom, Rose, it showed that the family’s main source of income is from selling taho. It was through this that the parents were able to send their kids to school.

Rose lamented that there were times when people looked down on their because they are “just” taho vendors.

Thankfully, the family didn’t mind what these people are saying. Instead, they persevered and put their faith in God.
