MARIA ROBERTA ABAD-ESTACION

High School 1997

Having over 20 years of business experience, Tab was able to spearhead a change in female intimate grooming by establishing brow grooming and waxing as part of essential personal care which was nonexistent more than a decade ago.

Q: What activities do you think can be introduced to benefit alumnae and AC Mission Schools? 

A:
– Start with having 1 Jubilarian (Silver) rep every year in the AAA it helps to get their involvement into the AAA to be able to also understand what it means and what the AAA is all about… 

– upgrade website to make it more millennial/up to date — youll really need to have an initial investment at first but long term at least its easier to navigate and more engagement 

– more clubbing initiatives zoom and face to face and even hybrid so all time zones can participate

– sponsor a mission school (either a classroom, laboratory, equipment or even no of students per batch) it makes it easier to comprehend and to push bec its very concrete.

Example 1997 to sponsor playground for Malibay so even when it needs refurbishment we can tap 1997 for fundraising for that. 1-2 batches can share on certain projects (Silver and Golden for example)

– introduce monthly contributions (via credit card) for fund raising if this hasn’t been done yet .. tap Gcash and the likes to have donate to AAA Mission Schools something like that. 

Q:  What are 1-2 key learnings from your Assumption education that molded you into the woman you are now?

A:
– Woman of faith and action — we really live up to this in our chosen career or vocation… everything starts with the Faith in Lord, without it we will not be able to achieve our charity works – fidelity to duty — committing to something until the end, “walang iwanan”
– love of simplicity — being humble and keeping myself grounded 

Q:  What achievement are you most proud of and why?

A:
– I will always say motherhood tops it all, yes I do many things but really this is what I will always be proud of.  My greatest achievement is to see my kids become the same woman of faith and action and for them to always aim higher and in aiming higher they are able to lift others up with them along the way.
