    Lourdes Reynes Quisumbing as a young girl

    How can one person achieve so much? Having been the country’s Education Secretary, President of Miriam College, a consummate educator, staunch advocate of values education, mother to 10 children and grandmother to dozens of grandchildren and great grandchildren, author of four books, and composer of four albums—Dr. Lourdes Reynes Quisumbing, or LRQ to those people who love her, has been there and done that.
