"I came to IE with a fresh mind and intention to start over and
forget about the tragedies that happened to me. Here, I am not
the Angely of Access Travel but just a normal person who goes
to school, cleans her house, throws the garbage, rides the train
and manages her businesses remotely. Great things happen
when we don’t give up and we’re guided by our dreams."
“Featured on TradeTalks by Bilyonaryo News, I’m profiled as a modern visionary at the intersection of passion and purpose. The feature highlights how I transformed wanderlust into a thriving business ecosystem, turning travel into a growth engine while inspiring a new generation of Filipino creators, founders, and global leaders to build with both courage and intention.”
“I shared the often-unspoken truth behind travel: that it’s not just about freedom, but also about finances, priorities, and timing. Travel is a reward, not an escape from life, but a celebration of it.
We discussed how adulthood brings responsibilities, goals, and limitations that make regular travel a privilege. Yet, everyone deserves the chance to see something new. My message was simple: when your moment comes, take it fully.”
"Invited to speak at Samsung Philippines’ conference for top dealers, directors, and executives, alongside Mr. Larry of Coco Tea. She shared insights on why showing up matters as an entrepreneur and emphasized the value of learning across generations."
“I’ve been a businesswoman since I was 15.
Starting young taught me resilience and the importance of knowing every corner of my business by heart. From selling small travel packages to building a global brand, I’ve learned that entrepreneurship isn’t just about profit; it’s about purpose, perseverance, and people.”
“I had the opportunity to speak at Chowking Philippines’ Franchise Convention, where I shared my thoughts on the art of cultivating excellent customer experiences and the power of humble leadership.
For me, great leadership starts with listening: to your customers, your team, and the ever-changing world around you. “
“In this talk, I explored the journey of self-discovery and the constant becoming of who we are meant to be. I spoke about the importance of rest as an essential part of success, not a pause from it, and the beauty of continuously shaping and reshaping our lives as we navigate this one, unrepeatable journey of existence.”
“In this discussion, I shared how businesses today can navigate the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing with purpose and adaptability. I talked about the growing power of corporate social responsibility and how giving back and standing for something meaningful can deepen customer loyalty far beyond metrics.”
“I had the honor of speaking about the ever-evolving role of women in the travel industry, a space that continues to redefine what leadership and success look like. In this talk, I shared my own journey of building and scaling a travel business from the ground up, and how traveling for work has shaped not just my career, but my perspective in life.”
“At the 2019 Youth for Leadership Summit, I shared an empowering message about embracing both our strengths and weaknesses, because true leadership isn’t about perfection, it’s about self-awareness. I spoke about the evolving role of women in business and how owning your individuality, vulnerability, and values can become your greatest advantage.”
“During the Sun Life Investment Management Seminar, I led a thought-provoking discussion on the unique challenges women face, not just in business, but in life. We talked about navigating expectations, financial independence, and the courage it takes to define success on our own terms.”
“At a private conference hosted by Power Mac Center, I discussed about the evolving world of travel in the digital age: how technology continues to shape the way we explore, connect, and create experiences. I also shared my perspective on the vital role women play in the travel industry today as leaders, storytellers, and change-makers redefining what it means to build meaningful journeys in a borderless world.”
