Ang anak ng isang vendor mula sa Quezon City ang nanguna sa mga kadete na nagtapos sa Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Siklab-Laya Class of 2025.

Nitong Huwebes, inanunsyo ng PMA na si Cadet First Class Jessie Ticar Jr., ang nanguna sa mga kadeteng nagtapos sa Siklab-Laya Class of 2025, at isang summa cum laude.

Ayon kay PMA Superintendent Vice Admiral Caesar Bernard Valencia, si Ticar ang ika-apat na kadete sa kasaysayan ng academy na nagtapos na summa cum laude.

Inihayag naman ni Ticar ang mga pagsubok na kinailangan niyang harapin sa pagpasok niya sa academy kabilang na ang kakulangan sa pinansiyal.

“The most challenging part of my life before entering the academy is the financial constraint. My mother sells only ball pens and envelopes in Quezon City, while my father got hospitalized and became a person with disability, cannot continue working anymore and is still recovering until now,” ani Ticar.

“That became my motivation to become what I am today. I hope that inspires a lot of people,” dagdag niya.
