Three Outstanding Young Abaknon Women

These three ladies epitomize the ideals of the women of today - youthful, determined, passionate. That they are Abaknons make us doubly proud - and hopeful, that the generations next will be inspired to achieve just as far as they've reached.

Maribelle Flores is blessed not just with effervescent beauty but with the intellect that crowns it and a strong faith that perfects it.  Now based in Jakarta as a kindergarten teacher in one of Indonesia's premier international schools, she remains passionate in a job that requires more than just patience and devotion. Now on vacation, she is touring Western Asia and Europe, starting off with a dream pilgrimage to the holy sites of Israel.

Glee Cula-Eades had a flourishing media career laid out for her, starting off as a radio personality in Tacloban City (the first Capulena to be so). But love swept her and brought her to far away but fascinating Europe. Now working for a bank in London, she treads an unfamiliar but challenging path - a new direction which will soon be a source of laurels as she comes armed with complete education from the University of the Philippines.

Jeanra Bometivo must arguably be one of the most-traveled Abaknons (if not the most). Young as she is, she has already scoured most of Europe, the United States and Asia - all courtesy of an impeccable voice that shares limelight with the members of the University of Santo Tomas singers.  Doing what she loves most, her singing has given not just her but Capul and the Philippines as well, thunderous international accolades.

The three merely represent the women of Capul, who have pushed themselves to the limits in order to bring back pride to their loved ones and their humble hometown. Many have traveled the same paths before them, and expectedly, many more will be inspired to  dream just as big.
