In the heart of every story of triumph lies a quiet and unseen struggleโ€”a series of battles fought not just in the field, but an internal struggle within oneself. Such is the journey of ๐˜—๐˜–๐˜“๐˜๐˜Š๐˜Œ ๐˜Š๐˜ˆ๐˜‹๐˜Œ๐˜› ๐˜“๐˜ ๐˜’๐˜ˆ ๐˜—๐˜Œ๐˜—๐˜๐˜›๐˜– ๐˜ˆ๐˜•๐˜›๐˜๐˜Ž, the Rank 7 of PNPA SINAGLAWIN Class of 2025.

Raised in the humble town of Alcoy, Cebu, she grew up grounded in love, faith, and resilience. As the eldest child, she carried the unspoken weight of expectations, made even heavier by her fatherโ€™s legacy, a well-respected public servant admired for his integrity and compassion.

Stepping into the Academy felt like crossing into unfamiliar territory. Ever since she was young, sheโ€™s been active in academics and sports and loves expressing herself through the arts, especially dancing.

While juggling her studies, she was a part-time tutor who helped young minds learn and grow. She discovered a quiet joy that deeply inspired her, which became a meaningful part of her growth.

Becoming a cadet was never in her plan, but rather an unexpected twist that was escalated from the gentle push of her godfather, a retired police officer, who urged her to take the PNPACAT. What she thought was a detour became a divine redirection that would take her from dreams of civil engineering to the grounds of the Academy.

Entering the Academy was a stark contrast from her former life. She had to unlearn comfort, surrender parts of her identity, and step into the unknown with courage. Yet it was within the discomfort that she began to truly evolveโ€”not just as a cadet, but as a leader.

PCDT Antig mastered the art of time management as she juggled her academic responsibilities and various roles, such as a dedicated member of the Honor Committee. More than her mental expertise, she is also a member of the dance troupe and badminton corps squad. She learned to stretch every minute of the day, making sacrifices where needed, staying disciplined, and pushing herself beyond what she thought she could.

And trust she didโ€”even when she faltered. Failures didnโ€™t define herโ€”they refined her. She allowed herself to feel it, but not to stay in it. Her strength was not in perfection but in resilience as she bounced back, stronger and more certain of her purpose.

P/CDT ANTIG reached greater heights through her inspirationsโ€”her parents. Her father has always been her first and most excellent role model. As a public servant, he led with authority and by example.

Her mother, who has always been her number one supporter, taught her strength without words. In times of uncertainty and fear, she prays and seeks strength from God. Her faith became her foundation, a source of hope, and a fortress.

Influenced deeply by her father and inspired by figures like Amy Purdy, PCDT Antig crafted a leadership style that is firm but kind, driven by purpose, and anchored in service.

In a world that often equates leadership with authority, PCDT Antig redefines it through compassion, courage, and quiet strength. She did not just rise through the ranksโ€”she rose with purpose. And as she finally ends her journey in the Academy as one of the top-performing cadets of her class, it is inculcated in her being that true strength isnโ€™t found in how long she can endure pain; itโ€™s in choosing to keep going, even when youโ€™re scared, tired, or unsure.
