The organization cited her for being a "visionary leader, an extraordinary achiever."

As President of CCA, Manila, she led the celebrations and proclaimed that she is proud of CCA's graduates who now occupy top jobs in the best hotels here and abroad, or are successful restaurateurs themselves at present. Some of them were present during the celebrations and reminisce about the growth of the school and were cited for their achievements.
