JB Mag-Ampo
JB is 8-years-old and a Grade 3 student. He is the eldest of three siblings.
JB’s father works as a garbage sorter, earning $72.72 per month (approximately $18.18 per week). His mother works as a part-time “ukay-ukay” vendor, selling various used clothes and utensils found in the garbage in Payatas. She earns between $4.54 to $9.09 a week. The family resides in a small, rented house that costs $27.27 per month. They must also pay for utilities.
The combined income of JB’s parents is not enough to meet the household and educational expenses, especially since JB’s 21-year-old aunt, who has cerebral palsy, is under their care. Her parents (JB’s maternal grandparents) have passed away, and JB’s family provides her with food and a permanent home. They do not have the money to provide her with the proper medical attention she needs.
JB enjoys learning and particularly loves Mathematics. In his free time, he likes to draw whatever he wants. He dreams of becoming a police officer someday so he can serve his country and provide a brighter future for his family. For the 2024-2025 school year, he earned a general average of 87% (Very Satisfactory).
