Chito said, Catabay "did not think of quitting from the Academy despite all the difficulties and struggles that came along while studying, instead he turned these to good account to make dream of becoming a soldier happen".

Chito said he was very proud of his son graduating from the academy as Catabay was always been telling that "entry to the PMA entails all the hardship a student would think of-training, lifestyle, academic hurdles and homesickness".
