End na ba ito para sa course ko?He spent his first year studying accountancy at the University of Saint Louis – Tuguegarao, and subsequently transferred to Saint Ferdinand College in Ilagan, Isabela province after he didn’t make the grade cut-off. Both Callo and Cabasal invested significant time and effort to claim their CPA titles.
Cabasal reviewed with friends frequently and developed a disciplined schedule for studying. When he first flunked the board exam, his friends were there to share the experience with him. Eventually, they traveled from Ilagan to Manila to enroll at a review center. “Tapos nag-take po kami, lumabas po ‘yung result. Wala. Wala. Wala po ‘yung pangalan ko. Naiyak talaga ako nun. Kasi ‘yung feeling ko talaga na, binalik ko ‘yung momentum ko, nag-aral po ako talaga. Tapos parang… Malayo pa rin talaga.
Since graduating in 2018 from Saint Ferdinand College, he became a full-time reviewee. It was a decision supported by his family – his mother, Angelina, a former bank employee; his father, Dwayne, an auditor at the Commission on Audit; and his younger sister, Dayne, a pharmacy student. His father’s being an auditor, also inspired him to continue working towards becoming a CPA. Now that Callo is a CPA, she first wants to finish her MBA course.
