At Mabuhay Innovations, we’re incredibly proud to share the release of Jennalyn’s KABABAYAN Adventure (Book 3 of the Jennalyn’s Mabuhay Adventures Series)—now live on Amazon! 💛

This book took a little longer to bring to life, and intentionally so. We put extra care and thought into every detail—especially the illustrations and the representation of meaningful professions—because we know how important it is for children to see themselves reflected in inspiring and authentic ways.

What an incredible experience watching Here Lies Love. I went in expecting a great show, but I left with a deeper understanding of Filipino history—so much of which I didn’t even realize or fully know before. It was powerful, eye-opening, and beautifully done. My mom loved it too, which made sharing the experience together even more special.

I was especially moved when they spoke about “mano po,” the beautiful Filipino tradition of showing respect to elders, and the Santo Niño. Hearing these traditions honored on stage touched my heart so deeply that I felt compelled to share the chapter from my book that also reflects those cultural moments.

The highlight was meeting Joan Almedilla, who portrayed Aurora Aquino, and to give her copies of my books to share with the rest of the cast. Moments like this remind me how powerful the arts are in preserving history, celebrating culture, and connecting generations through storytelling.

Still feeling inspired and grateful for the experience. 🇵🇭✨

Reflecting on last Friday’s WCBA Women’s Conference and feeling especially inspired as we celebrate International Women’s Day today.

Keynote speaker Graciela Casillas—author, entrepreneur, world champion boxer, and owner of Casillas Martial Arts Academy here in Oxnard—shared a powerful story. It was an honor exchanging books with her and receiving The Lioness Within.

I also appreciated hearing Nicki Parr, CEO of WEV, especially as I’m currently participating in WEV’s SET (Smart Entrepreneurial Training) program. The “Blazing the Trail” panel was inspiring, and Lindsey Cornett’s Marketing Maven workshop on conducting a personal brand audit was both fun and thought-provoking.

I ended the day feeling completely moved by the final keynote speaker, Sylvia Acevedo. Her impressive background as an author, engineer, and entrepreneur resonated with me so powerfully and left me feeling inspired to do even more.

Grateful for a day filled with insight, connection, and inspiration from so many remarkable women. Looking forward to continuing my journey.
