Scholar from Cebu is Apple Abarquez. Poverty forced her parents to give her away to assure her a brighter future.Even if the people they entrusted their daughter to were not the conventional couple, the parents proved they made the right decision. Thanks to her adoptive family, which she calls “very big, very happy, and very gay,” Apple grew up to be bubbly and talented, with a bright, rose-scented path laid out before her towards a dream that not only she owns but is shared by her whole family as well. Dubbed as “The Different Couple’s Daughter” and the 12th dreamer to enter the academy.
