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.
