QUESTIONS
SEPTEMBER 29-30, 2021
 Hi, the following questions are recalled by Team Cabinet-Hill
(hi guys 🙋‍♂️). Pasensya na if ito lang yung narecalled naming mga
questions 😅😅. Ito lang kasi nakaya naming tandaan. Yung iba dito
di pa namin sure if kabilang ba sa board exam or kabilang sa mga
preboard na sinagutan namin 🤣🤣. Please use it wisely and sana
makatulong to nang pangmalakasan. Galingan mo sa pagrereview and
don’t forget to pray before you start. It’s okay to try again even
if you failed many times (pero di ko sinasabi na babagsak ka ha,
wag kang ano 😆😆). You stumbled but you learned something. Sabi
nga ni Utibe Samuel Mbom, “A person who tries has an advantage
over the person who wishes”. Never give up 💪💪!! Padayon, future
