Born to an impoverished family in Bohol, Philippines, she realized early on that she wanted better things in life. Despite her family’s poverty, she earned a degree of Bachelor of Science in Commerce, major in Accounting with the help of a generous aunt.
Yonie suffered years of physical abuse from the man she loved. At twenty-three she married a man, twice her age, who brought her to the United States. But their joy was short-lived as he became terminally ill. While caring for her sick husband and also working full-time being the family’s sole breadwinner, she was diagnosed with cancer. She feels very lucky for being alive today to tell her story.
Her hardships in life inspired Yonie to succeed in her career as Payroll Coordinator of Nordic PCL Construction, Inc., and motivated her to become a civic leader and volunteer as Vice President of Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii and Chief Operating Officer of FAMES Hawaii. In this book, she shares her fascinating story and her experience as a community advocate. She also provides tips on how to make a difference in the world, how to be happy, and how to have a meaningful life.
Dr. Sol Manaay, Yonie’s friend and mentor, helped her write her story. Dr. Manaay is an International Psychologist, a published author, inspirational speaker, and organizational consultant.view less
