Boso is the second of four children in a modest, close‑knit family. Her mother, a seamstress, works long hours in a garment factory to help put food on the table, while her father, a jeepney driver, shuttles commuters across the city’s traffic‑filled streets. From a young age, Boso learned the value of hard work, humility, and perseverance. Her grandparents, who still live in a small house in the province of Laguna, often share stories of the country’s rich cultural heritage—folk dances like the tinikling , the lyrical verses of Balagtas , and the deep reverence for bayanihan (community cooperation). These narratives instilled in her a profound respect for Filipino traditions and a desire to contribute positively to her community. | | Environmental Action Group | Project Coordinator
