Without his counsel, I wouldn’t have been able to take my career to the next level—and bite back in the dog-eat-dog corporate world. But that story is for another day. There are also two women whom I learned from—Eugenia “Eggie” Apostol with her killer instinct, and Letty Magsanoc. They happened to be two of the most powerful media women in the country’s modern history. One night after putting the paper to bed, as we were winding down, Letty told me something I will not forget—“When you have power, you don’t need to show it.”
I am blessed not only with mentors, but also with guides.
Just having them on my mind, I am ready to brave each day.
