In the viral video shared by her colleague, Caizer Jhon Lumibao, they can be seen checking the board exam results from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) using a cellphone.
Even while on duty, board passer Lyka Jane Nagal couldn’t contain her joy as she jumped with excitement upon learning that she had passed the LET and was now a fully licensed teacher.
Lyka immediately shared the good news with her family, especially her mother.
Moments later, she sat down in a corner, overcome with emotion. After a short while, she stood up and resumed her duties at work.
Many service crew members working in fast food chains juggle both work and studies, using their jobs as a stepping stone to finance their education. Thus, Lyka's success in passing the LET will serve as a bridge for her to leave her role as a service crew member and pursue a career as a teacher in a school.
As of the time this article was written, the video had already amassed millions of views on various platforms.
Here are some netizens’ comments:
“Congrats .. labis na pinagpapala ang may pagsusumikap..”
“Nakaka Proud!Congratulations”
“CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 super happy for you teh”
“Grabe nag-paid off lahat ng mga paghihirap mo, congratulations!”
Lyka thanked everyone who greeted and shared the post about it.
“Thank you so much for bringing this core memory to people! May this inspire future teachers to continue their dream with a purpose. You will always reap what you sow! PADAYON future teachers!”
Congratulations, Teacher Lyka!
