In the small town of Isla Vista, a reckless and entitled city kid named Andres Vallejo caused a scandal that nearly damaged his family's reputation, taking him out to the one place they felt would keep him out of the public eye: the family-owned Isla Vista Hotel.
His reckless acts almost cost the probinsyana girl named Consuela Garcia her scholarship and the future she had fought so hard for. Bitter and unhappy, she fled the city during the summer when her parents urged her to return to Isla Vista where she grew up. It was intended to be her safe haven, a place where she could recover from the scars left behind.
But what if fate brings them together once again? As Andres is forced to confront the consequences of his actions, while Consuela, with the weight of the past still heavy on her shoulders, must decide if she can ever forgive the one who almost ruined her dreams.

Marked Without Merit | Iskolar ng Bayan Series #1
INB #1 status: slow ud, for revision It was always the marginalized who were pushed to the edges of society-condemned to poor living conditions, denied fair access to education, and excluded from information that could change their lives. Always praised for being resilient, but resilience was forced upon them. Always expected to endure injustice, to stay silent, and to adapt to a system that refused to adapt to them. The worst part? Education was the least priority in favor of survival. That was the exact cycle that Casandra Idelyn Asuncion wanted to break. When she failed to secure a slot in any state university due to limited opportunities, she made a choice that could either save her or shatter her future. She gambled everything on the only government scholarship to a private university that accepted her-one that could be taken away in a snap if her grades slipped below the quota. But stepping into the private university meant stepping into a world that wasn't built for someone like her. Rumors spread fast that her acceptance was a mistake, that she didn't deserve the slot, that someone like her must have cheated the system. Desperate to prove her worth, Cassidy sought answers from Jeremaiah Rylan Altacosta-the son of the university president. He was everything she wasn't: privileged, powerful, untouchable. And yet, he was the only one who could give her the transparency and proof she needed to silence the doubts, to mark her with merit.
