Assalamualaikum, ๐/๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, reflects on his journey in this academy. Born in ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง, and raised in Zamboanga City, he currently serves as the Regimental Information Technology Management Officer of the cadet corps and looks forward to joining the ranks of the Philippine National Police.
He takes pride in being the eldest son of ๐๐ฃ. ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ข and his late mother ๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ข, with sisters ๐๐ก๐จ๐ง๐ฎ๐ณ, ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ซ๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ข. The first is a graduate of BS in Nursing and the second is still in high school at Regional Science High School IX, the same school where P/CDT Sapii graduated from. Despite humble beginnings, he was raised with strong values by his hardworking father and protective mother.
From his early years, he recalls his fatherโs words emphasizing the importance of education as the greatest gift they could provide. His father always says to him โ๐ด๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐โ which means โ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.โ This instilled in him a belief that with determination and a strong belief in Allah, anything is achievable. He embraced this philosophy, dedicating himself to his studies and viewing every challenge as an opportunity for growth.
His path to the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) began in high school when he learned about it from a senior. Inspired by its promise of providing for his needs, ensuring education and career, and fostering holistic development, he set his sights on this institution.
Adapting to the regimented lifestyle and becoming part of the long maroon line posed challenges, but he approached them with the right mindset, discipline, and determination. He emphasizes the importance of personal management, which he views as instrumental in navigating through cadetship, enhancing his skills, and excelling academically and tactically.
Beyond academics, he finds fulfillment in diverse activities such as sports, drills, and leading corps activities, seeing them as opportunities for growth. His involvement in the cadet corps serves as a platform for continual physical, mental, and social development as he prepares to uphold the customs and traditions of his alma mater as a future public safety officer.
To aspiring cadets, he offers advice to step out of their comfort zones, believing that growth lies beyond familiarity. Drawing from his own experiences, he sees setbacks not as conclusions but as redirections toward something better, echoing the sentiment from Qurโan (8:70) that Allah (swt) will provide something greater than what was lost. His achievements, including receiving the ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, attest to the resilience forged through overcoming obstacles on his journey.
