His father and mother worked as a long-time janitor at the Ateneo University and spent their time cleaning the university campus.
"Kinikilabutan ako tuwing sasabihin sa iba na ang magulang ko na simpleng janitor ng Ateneo ay nakapagpatapos ng mga anak nila sa kolehiyo. Hindi lang basta nagsipagtapos, meron pang kakabit na latin honors," wrote Riel Gutierrez on his social media post.
"Sa lahat ng silid-aralan, sa lahat ng kubeta, sa lahat ng faculty room, sa lahat ng dorm rooms na nilinis ng mga magulang ko, ito na ang naging bunga. Literal na blood, sweat, and tears," he added.
The story of Gutirrez seemed truly singular at the time, growing poor is not always a hindrance on your success. At early age he and his sister learned the core family value of hard work.
Riel and his sister Rica graduated Cum Laude at the famous university. Rica just finished her AB Management in Economics minor in Korean Studies while Riel concluded AB Psychology minor in education where he graduated last 2019.
On social media he credited all their success to their parents' hard work and sacrifices. He posted their family photos to honor his parents with university toga.
