PCDT Rizel Erika Taipan or Ikang to her family and friends, started dreaming big as a child from Maddela, Quirino. Her dream of reaching far places stemmed from her desire to make her parents proud. Through lifeβs struggles, she held on to her dreamβto show that their sacrifices were never in vain.

PCDT Taipanβs journey to becoming what she is now was never a walk taken overnight. Back then, the idea of entering the academy never occurred in her mind. Before she entered the Philippine National Police Academy, she took up the degree Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English at Isabela State University.

PCDT Taipan didnβt want to burden her parents with all the expenses in College and so she did numerous sidelines in order to have weekly allowance to sustain her needs and pay for her requirements.

Cadetship is but a grim struggle of winning supremacy over oneself.
PCDT Taipan was one of the few cadet candidates chosen to be part of SINAGLAWIN Class of 2025. Armed with courage and determination, she hurdled and survived the reception on June 01, 2021. She understood that the path she has taken was far way different and difficult than the life she left outside for the academy. In the course of her cadetship, she experienced losing her loved ones but the only choice she was left with was to stand firm and be strong while trying to survive the everyday training inside the academy.

Indeed, itβs in the odds that we surpass that our true story begins. After four years of training and education inside the academy, her dedication to learning eventually paid off as she is graduating as the Top 10 of her class. For her, it was her parents that fueled her with courage and determination to carry on. If it werenβt for them, shouldnβt have reached this point in her life.
