Currently enrolled in the Agri-Fishery Arts strand under the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood track, Lolo Mario is determined to deepen his knowledge in agriculture. According to his grandson, the elderly learner dreams of completing a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Engineering in the future. His goal reflects his belief in the importance of agriculture to the country.
In a written response shared during an interview, Lolo Mario explained his motivation for returning to school.
"I have my personal intuition that tilling the soil technically is a patrimony for me to eliminate the frugality of my life," he said.

Meanwhile, YouScooper James, a practice teacher deployed at the school, shared how Lolo Mario left a strong impression on them.
"He is not my student, but we interns would often talk to him because he was usually in the library where our room was located, and he would sometimes ask us questions," he recalled.
James also explained why he decided to record the now-viral clip.
"I noticed him quite often, and I took a video of him last year because it was my first time seeing a student as old as him in person," he said.
"I felt that his story was worth sharing online."
Lolo Mario’s dedication has since inspired many, proving that learning has no age limit and that determination can continue well into one’s later years. His story has sparked conversations online about the value of lifelong learning and perseverance.
In separate news, a 74-year-old grandfather in Davao City tragically died after being stabbed by his own grandson. The family revealed that the 27-year-old suspect had long threatened the victim and had previously been admitted multiple times to a mental health facility. Instead of pursuing criminal charges, the family decided to have the grandson confined to a mental hospital to address his condition while avoiding further legal action.
Meanwhile, a three-year-old girl in Guimbal, Iloilo, perished after being trapped inside her burning home. The fire broke out around 2:54 p.m. on March 11 while the child slept on the second floor.
