PROUD na proud ngayon ang former “Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11” housemates na sina Joli Alferez at Gwen Montano dahil certified doctors of dental medicine na sila ngayon.

Yes! Pumasa sa Dentists Licensure Exam this year sina Joli at Gwen at ibinandera nga nila ang good news sa kani-kanilang Instagram accounts.

Kuwento ni Joli, “Ang Smiling Darling ng Camarines Sur”, after ng “PBB Gen 11” na napanood last year kung saan si Fyang Smith ang itinanghal na Big Winner, ay nag-concentrate muna siya sa pag-aaral ng dentistry saka nag-take ng board exam.

Pahayag ni Joli sa kanyang IG post, “Akala ko di ko kakayanin! This is for God, for my family, and for everyone who never stopped believing in me.

There were so many moments I doubted myself. I was the typical naughty and hard-headed second child.

“In elementary, I got scolded many times for causing trouble, nearly dropped out for cutting classes, and had more than a few visits to the principal’s office,” kuwento niya.

Dugtong ng dating housemate, “But that wasn’t the end of my story.

“They believed I was capable of more—even when I didn’t believe it myself.

“Many of you know I was part of Pinoy Big Brother. Chasing two dreams at once was not an easy task.

“I had rehearsals, shoots, mall shows, and travels—all while preparing for my board exam.

“I cried, broke down, troubled sleeping, and almost gave up. But in those moments, God sent the right people to lift me up, remind me of my purpose, and strengthen my faith,” aniya pa.

Samantala, abot-langit din ang pasasalamat ni Gwen, “Ang Brave Bromantiko ng Cavite,” sa lahat ng mga taong tumulong at nagtiwala sa kanya.

“Before PBB, I was a Dental student. Now I am a licensed Dentist and it only gets better from here!

“One thing for sure, I will always stay true to myself. Isa kong paboritong abiso sa mga kaibigan ko. ‘Huwag mong kakalimutan kung sino ka.’

“The path to every licensure exam isn’t the same for everyone. For me it was a mix of every emotion possible. I know every twist and turn would make my story interesting,” pagbabahagi ni Gwen.

Sabi niya sa pagte-take ng board exam, confident siyang makakapasa siya, pero hindi raw ito pagmamayabang. Talagang ibinigay daw niya ang lahat-lahat dito.

“Sa totoo lang mayabang man pakinggan, pero hindi ako kinabahan. Kobe Bryant said that his insane level of confidence came from knowing he had done all he could do to prepare.

“I wasn’t nervous knowing that I had pushed and sacrificed for this, knowing I had prepared myself for this enough to grant myself that confidence that I would pass.

“Sure I wasn’t a topnotcher, I wasn’t the best in class, but I know I am THE best version of MYSELF.

“I know for a fact this was not me. Not entirely me. God made this possible. This was in His plan for me.

“The knowledge and skills he had granted me paved the way for this achievement.

All this would not come into fruition if not for Him. He made this all possible and I shall forever be an instrument for His plans.
