From my experience - environment + connections matters more than school/brains.
Most of my batchmates from Pisay are either doctors, or working so-so jobs here in the Philippines (because science is a joke here in the country), or are abroad either taking up further studies or working in the science fields there. So konti lang yung successful in their 20s. Konti lang din sa kanila yung good communicators and sociable people, traits which are very important to succeed in life but not so much in school.
In comparison, many of my batchmates from Ateneo - either successful in their relatively young corporate career, or may sariling negosyo na. Malakas loob ng marami magnegosyo because they typically start with their parents' connections and puhunan, or minsan derecho manahin nalang whatever their parents' businesses are.
