Yvette Chua-Carrion

Yvette is a domestic goddess (aka housewife), and a retired private tutor. She is a former president of the Zonta Club of Makati Ayala, an organization of professional women who uplift the status of women in all aspects through service and advocacy. An educator, she finds fulfillment in guiding the youth to be upright individuals through partnership with their schools for seminars, forums, and the like. "I try my best to be worthy of the life bestowed on me and be of help as long as I can," she says.

  I was always surrounded by men, and I loved it!   My doting lawyer grandfather made me feel like a VIP all the time;  my uncles fell for the  charms of five-year-old me; my father made me feel invincible because he was there to protect me; and my seven crazy brothers made me laugh, cry, and trained me to be strong (imagine a life with seven strong-willed boys!).  Oh, these men!  Without them, my life would be boring; because of them, I have grappled with life’s many uncertainties.
