Testimonials
“I’ve learned and gained a lot from this program. It encourages you to understand the logic behind the way things are, test out ideas, be flexible and realistic, and pursue your best guess or option for reform to happen.”
Monica Castillo of DOST PCAARRDD
“The mentoring program changed my attitude towards reform. It is not always going to be about reinventing the wheel. It’s about identifying where you can start, looking for that entry point, which sometimes is already there – you must be more aware and ready to act.”
Maricar Centeno of NORFIL Foundation, Mentoring Program Alumna
