social, political and economic narrative, striving to build on the dual legacy of peace
and progress that has been fueling the province’s recovery and positive change over

degree in Commerce, Major in Accounting at the University of Santo Tomas where she
graduated in 1993.

was elected Congressman of the 3rd District of Nueva Ecija; especially the women,
the children, and the poor. It did not take long for her to win their trust and for them
to realize that she is the best person to continue his remarkable work as a legislator
and a public servant.
