TO THE WOMAN OF WORTH, (YOU)

This advocacy is born out of a heart that is passionate to witness a generation where every woman is well-aware of her worth in a holistic point-of-view: physically, emotionally, socially, legally and most of all, spiritually and Biblically.

In a world where women experience inequality, violence and discrimination, this advocacy aims to raise up Christ-Empowered Women, who live to empower her home, her husband, her children, her ministry and career, her generation and her nation.

This advocacy believes that this is her time because she is PRISCILLA TODAY.

Tassel, Cap & Latin Honors

Just last two weeks, I graduated from Miriam College with a degree in Bachelor of Arts major in Communication.....and the best part was, I graduated with honors, Cum Laude at that!








Back then, during my first days in Miriam College, I was this lost and innocent freshie and I never imagined that this is how I was going to finish my college education. I always thought I would just get grades enough for me to pass and graduate as an average student, being Cum Laude was not part of my plan and not even my ambitions. It was a dream, but it everybody's dream. To me, graduating with Latin Honors was a dream as if it was an unreachable beautiful star up in the heavens.

Somehow, God made a way to bring that star closer to me..or rather fly me up to sky to reach it.

I try to connect the dots back to how it ever happened, how did I ever make it up here?

And I realized that it was my dad who pushed me to excellence. When I started in Miriam College, the thing that excited me was being part of the theater organization. I was then so passionate about being onstage and backstage. I was on an emotional high when it comes to doing what I love..acting. Then I wanted to start writing for newsletters, then being part of a television production organization, a film-making org, not to mention, I even joined a street dance troupe!

So Dad just got so paranoid, thinking I might forget about my academics. He made a deal with me, saying that I can only continue my journey with all these extracurricular activities  IF I give him high grades. He was talking about really high grades, like NERD GRADES. It was so challenging. It seemed so impossible, but I had to say yes.

DEAL!

Fair enough, aside from seeing my growth in professionalism and talent in extracurricular orgs, I also excelled in my academics, being a consistent Dean's Lister and finally.....a Cum Laude.
