Long after she became a license engineer, Crystalle Mae Manalo is leaving with her grandma in a 'tagpi-tagpi' house (dilapidated house) up to the present. But it seems that a light of hope is coming her way after she passed the February 2020 Mechanical Engineer Licensure Examination.
To her delight, proud grandma Gloria Mamaradlo Manalo paid for the tarpaulin and placed it in front of their 'tagpi-tagpi' home.
"Nanay: Okay lang kaya yan na sa barong barong natin ilagay yang tarpaulin mo? Makikita ng mga tao na tagpi-tagpi yung bahay natin?
Me: Nay, yan ang pinakamagandang tagpi na nailagay natin. Salamat, Nay... sa lahat.”
A lot of people were inspired by Crystalle's story and her hope to gave her grandma a better future.

However, it seems that the hardworking Crystalle was also a superhero for her fellow classmates as she helped them taught some of the lessons for them to pass. This placed is not just a simple tagpi-tagpi home, but a sanctuary of hopefuls where she and her group made their thesis and class assignments.
“Yun po nasa picture, tinitirahan namin ng lola ko at hindi ko kinakahiya yun.. Marami po ako kaklase na nagpapasalamat sa akin at doon sa puting lamesa na nasa picture.. Marami na po kasi ako naturuan doon.. Gawain ko po kasi turuan yung mga kaklase ko na medyo nahihirapan sa klase.. Doon rin po namin nagawa thesis namin,” Crystalle explained.

“Nagtitinda po ako sa school.. Mejo nasanay na po ako nun bata pa lang ako kasi broken family po kami.. Naging single mom po si mama at hindi nya na ako kaya pa pag-aralin.. Kaya po inako na po ng lola ko ang responsibilidad,” Crystalle explained in an interview.
“Naging scholar po ako nung first year to 3rd year.. Kaso po discount lang yun sa pagiging dean's lister ko po. Yung mga natitirang payments nairaos po dahil sa utang... yung nga extra po nun na bayarin like xerox or needed na school mats hindi ko na po pinapashoulder sa kanila,” Crystalle said.
Congratulations Crystalle Mae Manalo, truly your an inspiration!
