NINE years ago she had a dream. She had a vision. She wanted to mold individuals to become not just professional nurses but also as successful ones.
Fueled with humility and an innate personality to care for others’ welfare and future, Marivic Yamit, a registered nurse and a registered midwife by professions, had decided to go into the Review Center business.
Being among the pioneering nurse entrepreneurs in the city and probably the whole region, under her notable management skills and natural inclination to serve, Miss Marivic was able to produce a number of nurse and teacher board “topnotchers” for the past nine years in the business.
Just last year, she was able to produce the First Placer board topnotcher for the December 2009 Nurse Licensure examination in the person of Claire Bontol of Iligan Medical College.
The products of her well-managed review center had become the training ground and beehive of future top-caliber lecturers. Some of her previous students have even become nurse-entrepreneurs, managing their own review centers and are resident lecturers at present.
Believing that she could serve more and create more promising professionals in the fields of nursing and education, Miss Marivic has decided to open her own review centers with branches here in Cagayan de Oro and Butuan City by the first quarter of this year. She baptized her review center as PEAK: Excellence Training Academy.
Miss Marivic, as I had known her personally and witnessed her strong personality, is like Cagayan de Oro’s iron butterfly. She is like a mother surrogate in taking care of her reviewees to the point of not hesitating in getting medicines from her own purse to give to her reviewees who are ill.
Meanwhile, her line- up of excellent resident lecturers include Lani Roa, Christine Tongco, Marieto Austin Paasa, Rosario Lei Pasimio, Claire Bontol, Crystal Sabela, Cyrille Cahoy, Ernesto Elsisura Jr., Hernessa Hernandez, Michael Ray Ungab, Raul Andre Nacaytuna, Paul Delfin Jamero, Jimmy Salcedo, Ryan Lumor, Randel Dalalita, Romeo Chavez, Ivy Lou Bahian and Ailyn Monawara.
PEAK is manned by dedicated staff Temy Yamit, Tricia Maggiorina Tongco, Juneval Villano, Herbert Yamit, Jay Jadap, Dicky Macababayao, Aureo Gulay and Ogie Tabasan of the Cagayan de Oro branch and Lorde Rey Yamit, Myrna Gomera, Genofil Embalsado and Harvey Jabiniar of the Butuan branch.
