Proud Sis

I always remember my elementary and high schools days especially when we have to write something about a certain person. They call it “theme paper”. In this activity, they test the ability of the students in writing, how they arrange their words and stories.

But during those activities, when my teachers wanted us to write about our idol(s), my classmates always chose their favorite artist, politician, rocker, band, etc. But in my case, it is always about my “kuya” that I write.

My Kuya is my idol, because he is smart, bright, achiever and successful. During his high schools days, he always get the medal during competitions especially in history. He has numerous awards recognizing his brilliance in different fields. He graduated No.2 of over 1000 graduates.

When he went to Manila to take his bachelors' degree, I remember him going to school with no baon, with his clothes unironed, with no new shoes and clothes during enrolment. Yet he still managed to graduate with awards. He was a working student, a political leader, a student activist, an organization head all wrapped into one.

He was also elected SK Chairman of Catmon in 1996 beating his opponent who is the Barangay Captain’s grandson. A student party founder and leader. Because of his active participation in many organizations, he has gone to many places not only in the Philippines but also to other parts of the world. Yesterday, he's back from his meeting with colleagues in IFLRY where he is the Vice President. He attended their meeting for 10 days in Kiev, Ukraine.

What made me write this blog about my brother? It is because last November 2, he was elected by his colleagues in Young Liberals and Democrats in Asia to lead the organization. And now, he's the third President of YLDA after serving as Secretary General for two terms.

I am not proud..
because i'm already a fan..
