Teacher Lino was one of those who was touched by the story of Teacher Gennie. Lino's determination to pass the LET was driven by the viral Aeta teacher's inspiration. Despite numerous failures, the teacher persevered till he ultimately passed the LET after 28 attempts.

Teacher Lino shared his remarkable path toward his goal of becoming a licensed teacher on Facebook.

He said, "Pero wala bagsak pa din. Lagi ko naisip na balang araw naipasa ko sya katulad n madame Aeta tuloy tuloy lang ako sa kaeexam. Ang point ko pag oras muna oras muna."

When Teacher Lino's story went viral, he hoped that it might inspire other people. He urged individuals who were discouraged by their failures to try again.

He reminded them the end of their journey is only when they decide to quit.

He said in jest, "Ako'y naniniwala pa rin sa kasabihan na 'sa hinabahaba ng prosisyon ay simbahan parin ang tuloy.' Mapapasaan at mapapagud din si PRC sa mukha natin kaya mapapasa tayo."

"To quit is not our option. Keep dreaming, keep fighting," he added.
