Mrs. Joven, through the lens of the women who knew her best
Manila Bulletin
|October 26, 2025
Mrs. Joven was a truly remarkable woman, my beloved boss of 32 years, my mentor, and a second mother to me.
-
She was more than a leader; she was a source of wisdom, grace, and genuine kindness. Her guidance shaped not only my career but the person I’ve become. Every milestone, every success I’ve achieved, carries her influence and the lessons she so generously shared.
Her compassion, strength, and unwavering faith in me will forever remain in my heart. It has been one of life’s greatest blessings to have worked beside her, to have been guided, cared for, and loved by her.
