Years ago, Erickson Mariñas wrote in his high school graduation yearbook: “Ten years from now, I will be a lawyer.” He never would have thought that he would not only fulfill his dream but also clinch the second-top spot at the 2022 Bar exams.
“That is how he relaxed during his law studies and review, aside from watching Hollywood movies on which he wrote long reviews,” Loreta said in a phone interview on April 15.
“This was why I was focused on him, tutoring him and reviewing him in his lessons, especially before tests. I think I was more nervous when he was taking tests. I was so strict that he would sometimes tell me to stop teaching him,” Loreta, the budget officer of the San Jacinto municipal government, recalled.
Loreta said it was her oldest daughter, Daisy, who was a scholar at the Ateneo de Manila University , who wanted to be a lawyer. Loreta said that without the scholarship, she could not have sent Erickson to the expensive university for college with her income as a municipal employee.
