✨ ️𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐨

In celebration of Women’s Month with the theme “Lead Like the Babaylans, Filipinas,” Pauline Jade Avelino embodies the quiet yet powerful strength of a modern Filipina who leads with discipline, resilience, and purpose.

At a young age, Pauline carried the responsibility of helping support her family as a breadwinner. These early challenges shaped her perseverance and determination, eventually guiding her to become a Nutritionist-Dietitian and an accomplished endurance athlete.

One of the most remarkable milestones in her athletic journey was becoming the Overall Female Champion of the Camsur 100 Miles (165 km) Ultramarathon, one of the most grueling endurance races in the country. Completing this extraordinary distance requires not only physical strength but also exceptional mental endurance, discipline, and resilience.

Beyond this achievement, Pauline has also earned numerous victories in endurance races across the Philippines, including being Overall Female Champion in the Philippine Marine Corps Ultramarathon 50 km, Peñafrancia Marathon 42 km, Philippine Marine Marathon 42 km, and the Abaca Ultramarathon 50 km in Catanduanes, among many other competitions.

Despite balancing the demands of her profession and athletics, Pauline believes that true strength is not only about pushing forward but also about recognizing the importance of rest and self-care. For her, rest is not a sign of weakness but an essential part of growth and renewal.

Through her work in health education and endurance sports, Pauline inspires others to care for their physical and mental well-being while pursuing their dreams with courage and determination.

Like the Babaylans of old, she leads not only through achievement but through the wisdom and empowerment she shares with others.
As Pauline reminds us:
“𝑹𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂 𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒆𝒅, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂 𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆, 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇-𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆.”

Her story is a testament that when women embrace discipline, resilience, and self-awareness, they have the power to uplift communities and inspire others to go beyond their limits.

In celebration of Women’s Month with the theme “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society” and sub-theme “Lead Like the Babaylans, Filipinas,” we recognize the inspiring journey of Maria Gina Z. Ogalinola, 65, a dedicated public servant from Brgy. Del Pilar, Viga, Catanduanes.

Life was not easy for Gina. Growing up in hardship, she was not able to finish her education, even though she once dreamed of becoming an engineer. But instead of giving up, she turned her struggles into strength—choosing to build a better future for her family.

As a mother of three, she worked hard to ensure that her children would achieve the dream she once had—to finish their education. Today, her sacrifices are bearing fruit: one child has already graduated from college, another is about to finish, and her youngest is currently in college.

Her dedication to service extended beyond her family. From 2007 to 2013, she served as a Barangay Kagawad, and from 2013 to the present, she continues to serve as a three-term Punong Barangay, a testament to the trust and confidence of her community.

For Gina, leadership is not easy—but it is fulfilling. Despite the challenges that come with public service, she remains committed, seeing every experience as an opportunity to inspire others, especially fellow women.
She believes that "𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝, 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭—𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬." As she lives by this principle, she continues to serve her community with integrity and compassion.

Like the Babaylans of old, Gina leads with quiet strength and unwavering dedication—proving that even without privilege, a woman can rise, lead, and inspire.

In celebration of Women’s Month with the theme “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society” and sub-theme “Lead Like the Babaylans, Filipinas,” we honor the inspiring story of Maria Cristina Conda, a 46-year-old businesswoman from Brgy. San Vicente, Viga, Catanduanes, whose journey reflects perseverance, determination, and leadership grounded in strong values.

While pursuing her Bachelor of Secondary Education at the University of Makati and a Diploma Course in Entrepreneurship, Cristina worked part-time in restaurants to support herself and help her family. These early experiences taught her the value of hard work, sacrifice, and determination—lessons that would later shape the life she built in Viga.
Together with her husband, Ariel Conda, Cristina began nurturing a dream of building something meaningful for their family. Through patience, resilience, and countless sacrifices, they slowly established Villa Amacepia Resort, a business that stands today as a symbol of their perseverance and faith in their dreams.

For Cristina, her greatest strength has always been her family and children, who inspire her to continue moving forward despite life’s challenges. She believes that leadership is not defined only by achievements, but by the values a person lives by every day. As she often reminds others,
“𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒐 𝒂𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒂 𝒔𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂 𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒂, 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒕𝒖𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒑𝒘𝒂, 𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒂𝒘𝒂 𝒔𝒂 𝒌𝒐𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒅."

This belief guides how she lives her life—as a mother, a businesswoman, and a member of the community. Cristina strives to lead through simple but meaningful actions: showing respect to others, following rules that maintain peace and order, and extending help to those in need. She hopes that by doing so, she can inspire the younger generation to become responsible and compassionate members of society.

She also strongly advocates for the protection and empowerment of women, believing that every woman deserves to live in safety, dignity, and with opportunities to grow. For Cristina, empowering women means creating a community where women’s voices are heard, their rights are protected, and their contributions are valued.

Through her journey, Cristina embodies the spirit of a modern Filipina Babaylan—a woman who leads with courage, wisdom, and compassion. Her story reminds us that true leadership is not always loud or grand. Sometimes, it is found in quiet determination, in the courage to keep building dreams, and in the commitment to uplift others along the way.

A story of resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering purpose—proving that where you start does not define where you can go. 💪💖

Growing up in a family of ten siblings, she learned early in life the value of hard work and perseverance. With a mother who was a housewife and a father who worked as a laborer and farmer, life was not easy. To help her family, she sold fish, helped in farming, and took on different small jobs—while holding on to her dream of becoming a lawyer.

Determined to pursue her education, she went to Manila and became a student assistant at Jose Rizal University, working in the library in exchange for free tuition while helping her relatives with household chores. Through determination and faith in God, she graduated Cum Laude and later served as a teacher at the university for 16 years.

Despite her achievements, she never forgot her family. She ensured that her younger siblings finished their college education before finally pursuing law school. In 2000, she returned home to care for her aging parents.

“Ang kahirapan ay hindi hadlang upang mabago ang ating katayuan sa buhay.”

Today, she continues to inspire others by sharing her experiences and guiding her community. For her, leadership means empowering others and standing firm in one’s purpose.

“𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆.”

Though circumstances did not work on her favor of becoming a fulfilled lawyer, the knowledge remained, as she practiced as a notary public for several years and now holding the position as Mun. Human Resource Mgt. Dev Officer of LGU Viga.

Her life story reflects the spirit of a true Filipina leader—one who leads with strength, compassion, and wisdom, just like the Babaylans.

Let her story remind us that true success is not only measured by titles, but by the lives we uplift along the way.

A powerful story of sacrifice, faith, and a mother’s unconditional love—proving that even the hardest choices can lead to a stronger future. 💖
Amy Alcomendas, originally from Guinobatan, Albay, grew up in a family of educators. With the support of her parents, both teachers, she completed her degree in Bachelor of Science in Commerce at Centro Escolar University. Through her father, who is from San Jose (Oco), Viga, Catanduanes, she eventually found her way to Viga, where she built her own family and life.

In 2013, Amy faced the most difficult chapter of her life. Circumstances forced her to leave her three young children in the care of relatives. At that time, her youngest son was only eight years old. Being away from them was the heaviest burden a mother could carry.

When she returned two years later, she saw how her children had grown stronger and more responsible despite their young age. It was during this time that her youngest son told her he wanted to enter the seminary. At first, Amy hesitated, knowing the financial challenges they faced. But her son’s words strengthened her faith: “Mama, bahala na ang Diyos.”
Holding on to that faith, Amy continued to persevere. Today, she proudly shares that her eldest child has already graduated and is working, her second child is now a 3rd year college student and SK Chairman in their barangay, and her youngest son is now in his third year at the Holy Rosary Major Seminary.

As a Job Order worker in the LGU of Viga, Amy continues to support the education of her children through hard work and determination.
Despite the struggles she faced as a solo parent of three, Amy never lost hope. She believes that every challenge can be overcome through faith, perseverance, and love for family.

Beyond her role as a mother, she actively participates in community activities—supporting clean-up drives, youth programs, and initiatives that promote health and safety. She also shares guidance and encouragement with neighbors and young people in her community.
For Amy, leadership is not only about holding a position but about serving others with compassion and responsibility. She believes that empowering women and youth through education and values formation helps build a stronger and more inclusive community.

This Women’s Month, we celebrate a woman whose quiet strength and perseverance transformed hardships into hope—for her family and her community. 💖

This Women’s Month, we honor women whose strength and perseverance uplift their families and communities. One of them is Lorena Talla Wallet, a devoted mother and community leader from a coastal area of Viga, Catanduanes.

For 32 years, Lorena and her husband built their life together while raising 12 children in their humble home an hour away from the poblacion. Life was never easy. Her husband braved the sea almost daily to fish, while Lorena planted vegetables and root crops to feed their large family, especially when the waters were too rough to sail.

Despite the hardships, Lorena remained determined to give her children a better future. Through perseverance and the support of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), they prioritized education above all else.

Beyond her role as a mother, Lorena also served her community as a 4Ps Parent Leader, an active member of a women’s organization, and a Daycare Worker for 12 years, guiding and supporting families in their community.

Today, the fruits of her sacrifices are evident: two of her children are college graduates, seven have completed vocational courses as computer technicians, two are currently in college, and one continues to pursue senior high school.

“𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆, 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒅𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒍, 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒘𝒂𝒈 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒖𝒌𝒐.”
Lorena’s life reminds us that strength is found in perseverance, faith, and love for family.

Her journey reflects the quiet yet powerful strength of a Filipina who rises above challenges and inspires others to do the same.

Beyond her role as a mother, Lorena also served her community as a 4Ps Parent Leader, an active member of a women’s organization, and a Daycare Worker for 12 years, guiding and supporting families in their community.

Today, the fruits of her sacrifices are evident: two of her children are college graduates, seven have completed vocational courses as computer technicians, two are currently in college, and one continues to pursue senior high school.

“𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆, 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒅𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒍, 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒘𝒂𝒈 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒖𝒌𝒐.”

Lorena’s life reminds us that strength is found in perseverance, faith, and love for family.

Her journey reflects the quiet yet powerful strength of a Filipina who rises above challenges and inspires others to do the same.
