Gerald Roxas: From Yolanda survivor to 2024 Bar topnotcher

At a young age, Gerald Roxas weathered the worst storm of his life.

It was not a poetic expression to describe his life’s trials, but a literal fact as he was among the thousands of survivors of the destructive Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. Gerald and his family lost everything, that’s why he thought he would lose his chance to finish his studies too.

As if possessing the strength of Yolanda, Gerald persevered and found ways to continue reaching for his dream to become an accountant.
