HAKOT KING: Grade 10 student sa Butuan City higit 40 natanggap na award

PINUSUAN at ni-like nang bonggang-bongga ng netizens ang viral Grade 10 student sa Agusan National High School, Butuan City.

Usap-usapan sa social media ang estudyanteng si John Michael "MJ" Camilosa Limbaga matapos tumanggap ng more than 40 awards.

Nang umakyat sa stage para sa kanilang moving-up ceremony, sinabitan si MJ ng sandamakmak na medal at inabutan ng napakaraming certificate.

In fairness, tatlong minutong tumagal ang pag-aabot ng award sa viral na estudyante dahil mahigit 40 award ang kanyang natanggap.

Bukod sa mga natanggap na parangal sa pagsali niya sa national at international academic competitions, kabilang na ang Mathematics, Science at English, si MJ din ang ginawaran ng "With Highest Honors."

Nag-viral ang Grade 10 student matapos ipost ng netizens sa social media ang kanyang graduation kung saan tinawag ang bata ng "Hakot Award".

Sa post naman ni MJ sa Facebook, naglabas siya ng saloobin tungkol sa pangmamaliit at pagtawag sa kanya ng "regular student." Aniya, lahat ng na-achieve niya ay resulta ng hard work at hindi lang basta talino.

"To be honest, this journey has never been easy. Along the way, I realized that prayer and hard work are the keys to achieving my goals in life.

"I started as a kid who was underestimated and looked down upon by people who didn't believe in me.

"Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard, and I stand here as a testament to that truth.

"I have also experienced being judged because I was seen as just a 'regular student,' not part of any special program.

"But one thing I've learned is that life is not about proving yourself to others—it's about living the life you truly want.

"At the end of the day, it all comes down to mindset. If you truly want something, you will work for it—and I wanted it badly. So I worked day and night to achieve goals that once felt like distant dreams.

"A gold medal does not shine because of its color, but because of the blood, sweat, and effort behind it.

"Who did? God did."

Sa isa naman niyang post, ibinahagi ng binata ang kanyang motto, "Do your best and God will do the rest."

"It turns out all the sleepless nights, hard work, and pushing myself beyond my limits to be better than my best were all worth it."
