While the PROSEC story is mine to tell, it was authored by many other wonderful people.

     I am devoted to the late Simoun "Moning"Almario who inspired me to be true and to stay focused on principles however difficult. He held me up from every painful fall and raised my hand for every glorious triumph. By my father's spirit, I continue to lead.

     Equally, to Asuncion Almario who walked me through the drama of life deprived and allowed me to learn the lessons of poverty with much grace. She remains to be my constant reminder to give of myself without reserve and to be in prayer at all times. By my mother's love, I continue to motivate.

     I am indebted to then President of Smith Bell & Co., the late Mr. Frederick Martin Coe, who gave me the wings to fly high, higher and highest. He made me the best secretary I could ever be by giving me the license to make mistakes. By my husband's memory, I continue to become.

     I am grateful to blood relations, friends and mentors who saw my potential and helped fulfill my dreams.

     Most of all, to our beloved clients who trusted and believed in me despite my comparative nothingness.
