For decades, her byline has graced the pages of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, one of the nation’s most respected dailies, where she honed her craft and carved out a reputation for investigative prowess and compassionate storytelling. This foundation, built on the bedrock of rigorous reporting and a deep understanding of societal nuances, now becomes an invaluable asset to TheNATIONWEEK.com.

Her current roles as Managing Editor of AgriTayo and Sustainability.PH under Roar Publications underscore her leadership and expertise in critical, forward-thinking domains. These platforms are at the forefront of shaping conversations around sustainable practices and agricultural innovation—areas crucial for national development and global well-being.
