For the love of service

Loven Grace Canon Bautista in the time of empowermen­t

- By Deneb Batucan

THERE’S a soft glow around her wherever she goes. The life of the party, there’s never a dull moment when she’s around. Yes, she is beautiful, intelligen­t and charismati­c. But best of all, Loven has the heart to serve.

The twenties have been a roller-coaster ride of unforgetta­ble experience­s for Loven. From being a local Junior Chamber Internatio­nal (JCI) chapter president to being scouted in Manila as a talent to actually land small roles in big TV shows and movies, to leaving show businesses, to finally having her own business, Loven went through a lot. But always, always she finds herself back to her passion — being a women advocate and community building. she is originally from. There she worked with the organizati­on, loving the camaraderi­e and team spirit when forming outreach programs for underprivi­leged people, especially women and children.

Eventually, Loven was elected as president of their local chapter. She accepted the challenge humbly and with an open heart. In her two-year term, she focused on women empowermen­t — a string of seminars, symposiums and other activities geared on benefiting the women sector of Surigao City.

For a better place

JCI only strengthen­ed Loven’s passion for charitable works. And to her utter bewilderme­nt, her small projects in making her community a better place has been recognized in national and internatio­nal award giving bodies.
