Women Who Bloom: The Women Behind Bahay Turo
This Women's Month, Bahay Turo proudly celebrates the women who have nurtured, built, and led this thriving learning community. Through their passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment, these inspiring women have created a space where education flourishes, students grow, and opportunities bloom. Meet the brilliant minds and compassionate hearts behind Bahay Turo:
Patricia, Chief Executive Officer
"I'm passionate about helping women feel empowered—whether that means building a career, growing a business, or just carving out a little time for themselves. At Bahay Turo, we know how hectic life can get, so we do our best to take the pressure off finding the right tutor, juggling schedules, and making sure your child gets quality tutoring. Our goal is to make learning easy and stress-free, so moms (and dads!) can balance their responsibilities with confidence and ease."
Bea, Head Teacher
"I’ve been teaching since 2008, and I’ve seen firsthand how teachers in the Philippines are often undercompensated for their hard work, with few side opportunities and costly training. But I believe things can be better. That’s why I’m proud to be part of Bahay Turo—a space where teachers are empowered to keep growing, earn more, and continue making a difference. Together, we’re building a brighter future for educators and learners alike."
Blessy, Head Teacher
"Teaching has always been my passion, and it’s been my dream since I was a little girl. Now that I’m living that dream, I feel incredibly fulfilled. What makes me the happiest is not just being able to share what I’ve learned with my students, but also working alongside and supporting other teachers at Bahay Turo. It’s a special feeling to know that I’m helping to shape not only my students’ lives but also the lives of fellow educators. The journey of learning, growing, and empowering one another is something that brings me so much joy and purpose every day."
En, Technology Lead
"As a tech leader with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen how technology can shape the way we live and work—but its true impact really hit home during the pandemic. When the world went into lockdown, we relied on tech not just to stay connected, but to keep working, learning, and growing. For students and teachers especially, technology became the bridge. I’m incredibly proud of the platform we’ve built—one that brings educators and learners together through smart, thoughtful technology."
J-Ann, Strategy & Partnerships Lead
"When I was young, I was lucky enough to have parents and teachers who made learning fun. When learning is enjoyable, it becomes more memorable, making it easier to retain and recall information later on. For me, Bahay Turo is about making it easy to find teachers who make learning fun, give students a hand when they are stuck, and boost their confidence when they are unsure."
Kristine, Marketing Manager
“For over a decade, I dedicated myself to public school teaching until I discovered another passion—content creation. What began as a creative outlet turned into a powerful way to educate beyond the classroom, ultimately leading me to Bahay Turo. Here, I merge my love for education and social media marketing, reaching more learners, parents, and educators while also thriving as a mom. Bahay Turo isn’t just a platform for me—it’s a purpose. It’s where I continue to inspire and empower, proving that education goes beyond the four corners of a classroom. It’s where I bloom and hopefully help others bloom too.”
Mau, CSR
“As a CSR at Bahay Turo, my passion lies in creating meaningful connections between students and teachers, ensuring a smooth and enriching learning experience. I empower others by providing exceptional support, addressing concerns promptly, and helping parents and learners navigate our platform with ease. Through my role, I contribute to fostering a positive and effective learning environment, making quality education more accessible to everyone.”
Inah, CSR
"I’ve always been passionate about helping and teaching others because I believe that education has the power to change lives. At Bahay Turo, I get to do just that by supporting teachers and assisting parents. Whether it’s answering inquiries, solving concerns, or making sure everything runs smoothly, I love being the bridge that connects families and educators. It’s fulfilling to know that, in my own way, I’m helping create a positive learning experience for students while making things easier for both teachers and parents."
These remarkable women are more than just their titles—they are mentors, innovators, and changemakers, shaping the future of education one lesson at a time.
