A devoted wife and loving mother to her 6 children - Angelita, Josefino, Celerina, Geronimo, Oscar and Romeo.
As a young widow she toiled night and day, endured thousands of hardship to support her young family.
Her dedication to her family and profession is beyond compare.
She taught with patience and love for 35 long years shaping young minds, instilling the value of education. She powerfully illustrated that education is truly the key to success.
She has touched the lives of her students in many ways, truly a pillar of light to everyone.
Ma’am Toyang kept the faith - her unwavering commitment to the Lord is immensely felt by everyone around her.
Her smile is contagious reminding us that life is beautiful amids challenges.
As we bid farewell, her love one’s take comfort knowing that she will be reunited to his beloved husband after many decades of separation.
Ma’am Toyang, fought a good fight, she finished the race with Grace and dignity.
