Economics 1993, PhD Economics 2000 (all at UP Diliman), is a full time
associate professor at the prestigious all PhD faculty of the U.P.

"Transcending limitations" is a skill that the sorority taught her well,
making her the super mom that she is now. "I'm sure many sisses who are
working moms agree that there is always so little time to cross out
everything on our to do list for the day, but this was also how we were
during our sorority days - so many activities, classes, exams, and
gimmicks, yet so little time! But we all managed and enjoyed! Part of
the training on survival definitely came from the sorority."
