Most Filipinos have been driven by their desire to leave our country with a sense of purpose and urgency to send their children to school, to build a house and to save for future investments. To help them realize these aspirations Overseas Workers Welfare Administration developed several educational support program by providing a scholarship grant to deserving OFW dependents. Today, with pride and distinction, RWO XI announces that three of their scholars passed the Licensure Examination for Nursing and Certified Public Accountants Board Examination namely: JOANIE FAITH F. TINAGAN, RN , NIKKO ANTONIO N. TAOTJO, RN and MARIA HEIDELIZA N. YPIL, CPA.
JOANIE FAITH F. TINAGAN was born on Oct. 12, 1990 in Iloilo City and the daughter of First Marine Engineer Felizardo S. Tinagan, Jr. and Connie F. Fernandez. A year after she was born, her family transferred to Tagum City, Davao del Norte. The eldest among three siblings, she took her primary and secondary studies in public schools and graduated with honors, a recipient of a bronze medal for academic excellence. As an OWWA scholar she took up Bachelor of Science in Nursing at San Pedro College and graduated in 2011. She passed the Nursing Licensure Examination last February 2012.
As she savors the joys of her success, Joanie Faith did not forget the people who supported her for making her dream come true, she quipped, “I am grateful to my friends, OWWA and my family who contributed to my recent success and most importantly to our God who has guided me in every step of the way- from school, review. The examination day and until the examination results came out.” Nikko Antonio N. Taotjo, hails from Davao City and the son of OFWs, Hamabar R. Taotjo and Amellyn Pepino. As an OWWA scholar, he took up Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at the Ateneo de Davao University in 2007 and graduated in March 2011. Months later upon receipt of the information from OWWA, he decided to take up another course, BS Prosthetics and Orthotics at the University of the East, Manila as a partial scholar. The course is the first offering in the country. While still enrolled in this course, he took the Nursing Licensure Examination last December 2011 and with God’s grace passed the examination last February 2012. Meanwhile, he has yet to finish his BS in Prosthetics and Orthotics. “I wish to thank the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration for the scholarship grant” Nikko exclaimed.
MARIA HEIDELIZA N. YPIL was born on March 27, 1990 in Guihing, Hagonoy, Davao del Sur. She’s the daughter of OFW, Engr. Tadeo Kiamco Ypil and Letecia N. Nerosa. She took her primary and secondary education in public schools with a self-imposed responsibility on her shoulder to put her best foot forward in her studies. She felt that it was her only way to express her gratitude to her parents. Ma. Heideliza took up BS in Accountancy at the Ateneo de Davao University from S.Y. 2007 to S.Y. 2011. Right after graduation from college, she took the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) board examination and successfully passed.
During her visit to the OWWA office last February, she was quoted saying, “All of these achievements that I had in life, OWWA was a big part of it. I really love being a part of the OWWA family. Although I’ve only attended few scholars’ conferences and other OWWA scholars’ programs, I still created friendship with my co-scholars. I would never forget the experience of volunteering in “Araw ng Pasasalamat” for the OFW’s, hosted by OWWA. I’m happy to be able to extend whatever assistance I could offer to the agency. And if needed, I will still gladly offer my assistance to OWWA.”
