Teachers are the heroes of our academic battles. They are the ones who trained us well and sharpened our minds to as weapons once we finally graduate and face the war of reality. Every single effort they make to instill an information inside our heads is an amazing skill and perseverance that keeps every student learning.
And perhaps, that was the main perspective of this certain teacher in the province of Occidental Mindoro who still chooses to wake up everyday and teach children who are too far away from home despite of her very delicate and dangerous condition.
Teacher Jay Ann Sabilio, an elementary teacher who guides the students of Patag Elementary School Annex is actually expecting a child really soon.
But despite the fact that she is pregnant, she still manages to cross the sea and a cliff, and unbelievably walk for almost 2 hours just to reach the school where her beloved pupils are waiting for her.
On a documentary on GMA Channel 7, Teacher Jay Ann was once featured, sharing her everyday struggle of going to school, and the hardships she experiences because of her current fragile body.
Jay Ann usually walks slow and takes a lot of time and rest before proceeding on travelling due to her condition, but it never became a reason for Jay Ann to stop.
Instead, her supportive husband even visits him whenever he has his day off from work to make sure his husband and future child are both doing okay.
Jay Anne shared that due to very unsafe route they are taking plus the sea they need to cross just to reach PESA, they requested life vests on Depertment of Education but sadly, their request was not even noticed. As a matter of fact, her maternity request was not even approved yet.
But has teacher Jay Ann managed to give birth successfully despite of her heavy commitment on her job? Jay Ann gave birth to a healthy baby boy last November. With the help and support of her co teachers on PESA, she is now doing fine.
