What if one word has the power to alter the world?
Cielo got inspired when Daryl Passion wrote a particular article. Since then, this has been part of her value system. Instead of asking youngsters to dream high,(mangarap nang mataas) let’s encourage them to dream deeply (mangarap nang malalim). She realized that our culture ingrained the idea that we should have high goals rather than aspirations motivated by deep emotions, grit, or the desire for a more progressive country.

Surrounded by people whose mentality and values are aligned with her are Cielo’s crucial factors why she is motivated to deliver the best she can in terms of enriching Emerge’s culture, maintaining professional discretion, and prioritizing the development of Emergians.
