‘God will do the rest’Leode John Tulang, the sixth placer in this year’s batch of PMA graduates, who comes from Prosperidad in Agusan del Sur, has this to say to those reaching for the pie in the sky: “You have to find a way to pursue your dreams and God will do the rest.â€
“I cannot vividly recall it but my parents told me I used to crawl under our house when I was just 2 years old, like I was on military training,†Tulang, a son of a retired Army soldier, told the Inquirer by phone.
Tulang was class valedictorian in elementary and high school in his hometown. Before joining the PMA, he took up math at Philippine Normal University-Agusan, where he became active in his basic Reserve Officers’ Training Course.
“My studies in PNU, where I focused on math, served as my foundation and helped me a lot to excel well in the PMA, where mathematics and sciences were major academic subjects,†Tulang said.
