Pinay graduates summa cum laude in Canadian university
to a grand homecoming and celebration with her grandfather Ronaldo Ordono , Sr ., a retired Coca Cola Company employee ; grandmother Carmelita ; aunt Cristy ; and a younger half-brother in their home in Carlatan .
Bolos told Ordono Sr . that she will have a halfmonth rest in San Fernando before committing to several job offers from big hospitals in Canada when they learned about her on social media .
Bolos went to kindergarten school in Felkris School in Lingsat village in San Fernando , and later at the Saint Louis College High School , from Grade 1 to 3rd year high school , just a walking distance from their residence .
She went on to continue her high school education in Notre Dame Catholic School in Canada , where her mother , Anita
Bolos , works at a nursing home for the elders in Ottawa .
“ Every now and then , her mother visits her in Burlington where she stays with her aunts and uncles whose residence is near the school ,” her 69-yearold grandfather , said .
Ordono Sr . added that Bolos is the product of a broken home as a result of the pressure of a long distance marriage between her father and mother , which eventually strained their relationship .
Her father Paul is also an overseas contract worker turned business man in Saudi Arabia . Despite the distance , he communicates with his daughter regularly and supported her education financially , according to Ordono Sr .
As a high school student , she became a consistent honor student and was granted
scholarships . |
