Apolinario Mabini came from a poor family in Tanauan, Batangas. Yet he never showed any lack of interest in studying. He persisted and strived hard to finish his studies. Eighteen years of courageous and admirable struggle was what Mabini had surpassed in order to achieve his dream. Indeed, it was a very long and remarkable journey to success. .
So how was Mabini as a student?.
Aside from his family's poverty, there were some other factors that could have induced Mabini not to study at all. His father, Inocensio Mabini, could not read nor write while his mother, Dionisia Maranan, seemed to be more educated. It was also known that there was no school in Talaga at that time. So it only means that if he really wants to study, he will walk six miles all the way to the town proper. But none of these things had stopped him from gathering his strength to ask his mother to send him to school in Tanauan. .
Mabini was known as a "quiet boy who never had any books to study with, but who was nevertheless the exemplary student. He - they further say - used to read his lessons from the books of his classmates on the way to school-.1 At the age of 14, he was enrolled in the Secondary School of D. Valerio Malabanan also in Tanauan. This school was the pioneer of its kind outside Manila, a center of Excellency in academics and the most respectable school of secondary education in the country (outside Manila). Fr. Malabanan, "an old clergyman-, as Mabini describes him, can be rightly considered as "the grandfather of the Batangueño intellectuality.""2 He then lived in the house of a certain Maraiano Petrasanta for three years making him away from his family.
In his first three years in the school of Tanauan, Apolinario Mabini earned excellent grades. This may be due to his seriousness and concentration accounting from the fact that he had not many friends nor had not showed himself during saraos and fiestas.
