Jacqueline Balanay says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Something personal about her: She is a 38 year-old mom of two and a happily married woman. Born and raised in Sampaloc, Metro Manila on the 7th of April, 1981. She grew up along with her 5 siblings. A registred Nurse, and currently working at DOH (Department of Health) as a Public Health Associate. She's enjoying her profession for 16 long years.
Her motto in life: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Because for me, God is my strength and without God I can do nothing."
To be Wonder Woman as a superhero. Because for her, she's strong; fearless; compassionate; and independent.
Education matters: She didn't attend nursery since she jumped up to grade 1 already. She graduated elementary at Juan Sumulong Elementary School (Grade 1-6); Finishes 1st and 2nd Year high school at UST Pay High School; Finishes 3rd and 4th Year at Manila Cathedral School where she graduated high school; and earned her degree in nursing at UST (University of Sto. Tomas) from school year 1998-2002.
She's a Born Again Christian by faith.
Her other interests include cooking, singing, and baking.
"YOU cannot say you are successful if you are not HAPPY. It should come together." She said when asked about success and happiness in one box together.
Hitting the Hard Core in Life: She said she had reached the rock bottom in life. For her, trials and difficulties are part of our daily lives. It was 3 or 4 years ago, when she discovered that she has vitiligo (an illness). She was about to work in Qatar as nurse when suddenly the employer rejected her because of vitiligo. After being rejected abroad, she tried to look for a job here in Philippines but still employers rejects her maybe they thought the white patches in her skin are contagious. She felt so sad and so depressed. With the help of God and her family, she was able to overcome that stage and emotions. Her family showed her that she's important and that she is loved. "I am proud of myself and learn to ignore what other people say about me," she bravely said.
Who's the greatest fan in her life? Her family especially her kids.
In HER own words to make a CHANGE: Change should start from one's self. You cannot contribute to change in this world if you do not experience it.
IF she's Not a Nurse, she'll be a DOCTOR. "That is my greatest ambition in life. But after studying nursing, I decided to work abroad as a nurse so I can help my parents," she explained.
Her voice matters: She said, "Always trust God, be positive and believe that you can do it."
