A day to remember our beginnings

For me, Malabon is not just a name of the traditional noodle dish. It is special because it reminds me of a place that was a significant stepping stone in my life—a witness to both my small wins and significant milestones that fortified the disposition to be the woman I am today.

At the Rizal Park Hotel in Manila on November 15th, I was given the chance to reconnect with my roots. Honored and humbled, I received the Malabon Medal Badge Lifetime Award at the 40th Gintong Parangal at Dangal ng Malabon Awards. Holding this certificate, which names me as one of the Outstanding Citizens of Malabon, felt truly special.

Hon. Mayor Jeannie Sandoval and other local officials handed me this award as a recognition of my expertise in the Field of Retail industry. It's a pleasure to be recognized for doing what I love and work hard for. The passion we exert into our vocation is what makes every award truly well-deserved. My deepest thanks to the coordinators, facilitators, Kasama Inc., fellow awardees, and, of course, the hardworking and very first woman mayor of Malabon.
