”Don’t settle for anything less,” Michelle “Pabsy” Pabalan lives by this principle and applies it in everything she does. The result is a well-rounded individual who excels in most, if not all, of her endeavors.
For the 20-something communications practitioner and musician, life is not merely about earning a living but living it for others. This makes Pabsy an ideal fit at social enterprise, Hapinoy.
As external communications and local partnerships officer, Pabsy is in charge of liaising with the organization’s different stakeholders including NGOs, LGUs and their clientele, the Hapinoy “Nanays”, amongst a myriad other duties.
In this Greater Good Philippines interview, Pabsy gives an update about Hapinoy, where it has gone since the interview with Mark Ruiz and TJ Agulto (December 2008), and where it is heading. She also talks about managing her time—a near-impossible feat for someone who divides her time between work, hobby and helping others.
