Hailing from a small and remote town in Iloilo, Philippines, Charito battled against poverty and rose above adversities. Lost her father at a young age, she was left at the sole care and support of their mother, along with her seven siblings. As financial difficulties were inevitable, Charito struggled through the most difficult times a young student could ever experience. If it were not for scholarships and grants, she would have not made it through college. In Iloilo City, she obtained her college degree from Central Philippine University.
In 1989, Charito tried her luck in Canada, with nothing in mind but to financially help her family. She hustled hard in the new country and sent her salaries to her family in the Philippines. She juggled different jobs during the prime years of her life. She was a hardworking, dedicated and loyal employee of Walmart until her last days.
Charito devoted her life supporting her family. She regularly sent financial support to her mother and ensured a comfortable life for her until her death. Charito helped all of her siblings, and financed the tuition fees of her nephews and nieces. And so Charito did not give birth, but she had an engineer, a lawyer, a soldier, a nurse and professionals in different fields.
Short but well-lived, Charito's life was full. With her little beginnings, she was able to create a huge and life-changing impact on the individual lives of the members of her family, something that they can never ever repay. As a friend and colleague, Charito was thoughtful, helpful, someone who was always there in times of need. She will always be remembered this way.
