With her dedication and perseverance, Antoque now serves as the Municipal Link in the town of Pinamungajan.
She recalled that while she was still in grade school, she barely had school supplies and often could not participate in school activities that would require fees and other contributions. “Dako ang akong pasalamat kay bisan tuod wala ko nahimugso sa datu nga pamilya apan kanunay ang sakripisyo ug pagpaningkamot sa akong mga ginikanan,” she added.In 2010, Antoque’s family became a 4Ps beneficiary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development .
The 4Ps have impacted Ann’s life in numerous ways. It provided not only the financial support her family needed through the cash grants for education, health, and nutrition but more so, it opened her eyes to see the essence of social work. It widens her perspective that poverty could be alleviated, and most especially, it ignited her desire to pursue the social work profession.
As a scholar, she tried to balance her time between her studies and as a working student assigned as a student assistant at the Senior High School Department of USPF. She graduated in July 2022 with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Social Work and passed the board examination in September 2022 where she became the overall 9th place.
