| Joseph Biggel visited two Marinduque colleges yesterday. The first was Educational Systems Technological Institute (ESTI), where he enrolled in 2010 but dropped out for financial reasons. ESTI staff turned over to him all school requirements to enable him to enroll in a Manila college that recently offered a 100% scholarship to help him realize his goal of earning a college degree. |

| Biggel later paid a courtesy visit to the administrative staff of Marinduque State College (MSC) whose students and staff extended support to him through text voting when he was still a housemate in the country's popular yellow house, the Pinoy Big Brother house. |

| Faculty and staff of Marinduque State College (MSC) were pleasantly surprised with Biggel's unannounced courtesy visit to MSC yesterday. An official administrative meeting was temporarily suspended to give way to a brief, impromptu and light-hearted open forum where Biggel answered questions ranging from his feelings toward PBB love interest, Tin Patrimonio, his 'perstaym' experiences, his toughest experiences at the PBB House, his willingness to act as Tourism Ambassador for Marinduque, if ever, and his college plans. Biggel expressed his gratitude for all support and the kind words from the school's officials about his being an inspiration to the Marinduque youth, particularly to the less fortunate ones. A move was undertaken during the meeting to make formal and official, through a college resolution, MSC's appreciation of Biggel's drive to follow his dreams and succeed, serving as an inspiration to many from this island-province. |
