Corro exemplifies the
true Maryknoll spirit of selfless
service to the community. Unmindful of
the debilitating effects of her 20-year
illness, Corro has pursued with
relentless dedication her project to
impart to the children of indigent
families in Alabang, Muntinlupa the
Montessori method of teaching. Through
her tireless efforts and unwavering
guidance, her admirable project has
grown from two sitios and 200 children
to seven sitios for 400 children. With
the support of other housewives who have
embraced Corro’s commitment, even more
children will benefit from a teaching
method that used to be available to
society’s more privileged few in the
years to come.
