Kumusta! My wife and I are from the Philippines however, we spent our time in Thailand with our 2 kids. My family loves to travel locally and abroad. Before we believed that life was too short to stay and established in one place but as time passed by and looking at our children growing fast, we decided to move here last September with our dream of settling down.

My family and I are planning to start our own business, that's why I took General Business Management. "Success is just a state of mind" but doing everything rightfully and wholeheartedly is an achievement. Psalms 37:4 – “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Good day, everyone! My name is Rose Ann Ligutan, and I am from the Philippines, a land of lovely people. My family and I landed in Canada last March 10, 2024. I have a three-year-old daughter and have been married for four years. It's been more than a decade since I earned my Business Administration degree with a major in Management. In my home country, I began working in the financial field immediately after college and have remained with the same company for roughly fourteen years. However, due to slow professional progress, I chose to expand my knowledge and pursue a degree with an emphasis in Financial Management. My long-term objective is to work at top international banks, not only in the Philippines but also abroad, if given the opportunity. And I believe that education is one of the keys to achieving my goals. My go-to motivational quote is "The best way out is always through" by Robert Frost.

Hi everyone, I'm Cecilia, and I'm thrilled to be back in Canada after spending two years in the Philippines. I graduated in Hospitality here in 2022, but my life took a different turn when my mom fell ill. I had to return to the Philippines to care for her, which was challenging but a priceless experience.

Now that my mom is on the road to recovery, I've decided to return to Canada to pursue my passion for learning. I'm excited to be a student of Acsenda, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business Management.

Public speaking, especially in English, still makes me nervous. But I'll never forget what we were told during orientation. "Even if it's scary, just show up."So, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Take a deep breath, be brave, and dive in. I'm looking forward to learning and growing with all of you.
