Biography
Vladimir Roldan B. Rosales I, or Vlad, as his family and friends call him, is just your typical twenty-year-old young adult, who had gone through all of the phases frombeing the smart, brainy kid in the family, being consistently in the first section of, arguably, the best institutions in Tagum City. Taking Applied Mathematics as his degree program was never the plan but going to UP was. Hence, even being not initially qualified to enter the university, he fought tooth and nail for his dream of becoming an Iskolar ng Bayan, thus being the last qualifier of the admission test. Now, he’s still learning and finding his worth and place in this world, while battling against the many social injustices in this world and bouts of existential crisis in the wee hours of the night. Meeting people and losing some alongtheway, but that’s life.
