Abby is originally from Manila Philippines, the youngest amongst the 3 siblings.  Abby was raised in a family that has an abundance of love but less than enough when it comes to financials.  This makes her a resilient woman that believes she must work harder to achieve her goals in life and overcome any difficulties that she may encounter.  She is always more appreciative in all forms of blessings that God may bestow upon her may it be big or small.  She worked hard in her studies from Elementary to High School and secured a Scholarship from the Quezon City Scholarship program and a half Scholarship from Central Colleges of the Philippines where she graduated.  This made a huge impact in her life enabling her to finish her studies. She was a very active student and was voted as the president of the Computer Science Society, one of the most reputable organizations, at her school.  Abby graduated with a B.S. Degree in Computer Science.  

After graduation, she worked directly in a Software House that molded her as a programmer analyst where she worked mostly in big banks in the Philippines.  She has more than 20 year experiences in system development cycle and well versed in using programming language such as Informix, PHP, HTML and shell script on a UNIX and Linux platform with Informix Database.  She currently has a certification with Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), and Network +. Abby is Political Connection’s Systems Engineer, designing software for the company and supervises a group of PHP coders. She analyzes current systems and redesigns or implements new systems to offer enhancements in the operations. She has been working with Political Connection LLC for more than 14 years.

She believes, “Life is like a development cycle where we get to write our own style in code, test and execute but regardless how much effort and time we put in, there is still a big chance that it will fail.  We don’t stop there, we debug, modify, and start the cycle from the top to bottom until we get it right. The most important lesson is we don’t dare to give up but we keep trying.”
