What Matters Most is...I didn't give up
This picture tells the story of my CSC journey. Maybe some people will say na ang yabang ko or I’m being showy — but this isn’t about bragging. This is about celebrating a long and painful journey na ngayon ko lang tunay na na-overcome.
Sa wakas, may maipagmamalaki na rin akong achievements. Ang saya sa puso, kasi alam ko kung gaano ko pinaghirapan ito.
Noong lumabas ako ng City High last March 2, akala ko talaga babagsak na naman ako. Hirap na hirap ako sa Verbal at General Information — and totoo naman, ang layo ng agwat ng scores ko sa passing.
After 4 attempts in 2 years, grabe yung mga pinagdaanan ko. Hindi lang pagod physically — pero grabe rin ang emotional toll. Dumating ako sa point na gusto ko nang sumuko. Kasi paulit-ulit na lang ang kabiguan. Na-feel ko talaga yung frustration — lalo na kapag iniisip ko na ito lang ang chance ko para makapasok sa gobyerno.
Sabi ko sa sarili ko, "Matalino naman ako ah, so bakit ganito? Bakit parang hirap na hirap akong pumasa?"
Last year, sobrang sakit ng resulta kasi nag-enroll pa ako sa review center. Ang akala ko, once nasa review center ka, automatic may edge ka na—na pasado ka na. Pero hindi pala ganun kadali. Reality check talaga ‘yon.
Noong 4th take ko, dasal ko talaga na sana ito na 'yung huli. Kasi, sa totoo lang, napagod na rin ako — hindi lang sa pagre-review kundi pati sa biyahe, sa gastos, sa stress. Ang layo pa ng testing center mula Davao, tapos kailangan pa naming mag-inn.
Habang naglalakad pauwi after the exam, iniisip ko yung perang nagastos, yung effort, yung pagod… Sabi ko sa sarili ko, “Sana worth it lahat ‘to.”
Kaya ngayon, gusto kong sabihin ‘to para sa mga katulad kong aspiring government employee na ilang beses nang bumagsak:
Huwag kayong sumuko. Hindi pa huli ang lahat hangga’t may tsansa pa. Grab every opportunity to take the exam again. Kung kailangan ulitin, ulitin. Hindi sukatan ng talino ang isang bagsak. Ang mahalaga, bumabangon ka at lumalaban ulit.
This is not just a post.
This is a reminder na kahit gaano kahirap, kayang-kaya basta hindi susuko.
And I’m saying this with so much pride and humility.I am beyond proud of myself. For not giving up. For holding on. For choosing to fight again and again.
Forever grateful 🩷🩷🩷

As I sat in my chair, all my failures in life flashed back in my mind. Ever since then, I’ve always felt that I wasn’t a "winnable" person. I rarely got chosen to compete in contests by my coaches. I thought it was normal because, as they say, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose our battles in life.
Yes, I envy people who easily clinch victories without even putting in much effort. Meanwhile, as an average person, I have to exert so much effort, yet even that is never enough.
Recently, I earned a Diploma in Taxation. I initially wanted to become a Certified Tax Technician since it’s more convenient to renew every five years compared to the DIT, which is nonrenewable after five years. I felt a little hurt because I worked hard to study Taxation, yet this is the outcome. What hurt even more was when my mom said, "Why does it always feel lacking?" It also stung when my special someone didn’t even acknowledge my achievement, not even a minimal amount of praise. But then again, I must really seem like a sore loser in everyone’s eyes.
Last year, I was supposed to start working already. Not to brag, but I was almost hired by SB and Aboitiz, but my anemia acted up. It was devastating—I felt like I was depressed. I started to believe I was unlucky. I don’t even know why this happened to me. I did nothing wrong, so why?
I have already taken the Civil Service Exam three times. CSC has already earned ₱1,500 from me because I kept registering, yet I still failed every single time. I even enrolled in a review center to improve my answering skills. But in the end, I realized I must be really stupid. Up to this day, I keep telling myself that I am dumb, that passing an exam is so difficult for someone like me.
In my reflections, I’ve realized that people treat you better when you have achievements in life.But then, as I wiped my tears away, I started asking myself—does my worth really depend on achievements alone? Am I really just a sum of my failures?
I’ve spent so much time drowning in self-doubt, convincing myself that I am not enough just because life hasn’t been easy for me. But if I take a step back and look at the bigger picture, I realize that effort, resilience, and perseverance also hold value. Maybe I am not the fastest, nor the strongest, but I keep going. And isn’t that something to be proud of, too?
It’s easy to feel envious of people who seem to succeed effortlessly. It’s painful when others don’t see how much effort I put in, but maybe I don’t need validation from them. Maybe, little by little, I should start validating myself.
Yes, I failed the Civil Service Exam three times. But that also means I had the courage to try three times. Yes, I lost job opportunities due to my health, but that also means I was qualified in the first place. Yes, I feel like I’m not enough, but if I truly wasn’t, why do I still have the strength to dream, to hope, to keep going?
So maybe I’m not a winner yet. Maybe I still have a long way to go. But I will not let these failures define me.
To anyone reading this who feels the same way—just because you’re struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. We’re just in the middle of our story, and this is not how it ends.
For now, I will rest. But I will rise again.

I can’t help but feel so nervous as I think about the Certified Tax Technician results. Part 1 of the exam still haunts me—it was so difficult, and the questions felt completely out of nowhere. I had prepared myself with the expectation that it would focus on income tax for taxpayers and a few simple topics from the EOPT Law, but it turned out to be far more challenging than I ever imagined.
Despite that, I’m still holding on to hope. I know I gave my best, and even if I didn’t perform perfectly, I’m praying it’s enough to reach the passing rate. Right now, passing alone would mean everything to me. It’s not about getting the topnotch level but it's about proving to myself that all my effort wasn’t wasted.
This journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m trying to stay positive. I’ve learned so much from this experience, and no matter what happens, I know I’ve grown from it. Still, deep inside, I’m hoping this is the moment my hard work finally pays off.
I pray I pray I pray that all political unrests all over the world will be solved in 2025. All oppressive governments will be destroyed. All wars and conflicts will end. Human rights will be reestablished in all nations. Greedy corporations that play on our free access to resources will fall. That's all I pray for 2025.
