She's now playing a dream role, starring in a rom-com episode, playing a fantasy-like character in a teleserye La Luna Sangre and now renewal contract as endorser of sisters sanitary napkins and pantyliners.

With all of these fulfilling things on her life, Myrtle believes dreams do come true.



Some related to her struggles and also wanted to pursue their education. Others were touched and even cried while reading her post. All seemed to agree that her journey is empowering and inspiring.

Myrtle feels that her graduation story opened new opportunities and paved the way for her other dreams to come true. 

Her dream role of playing a fantasy-like character in a teleserye came true when she was given the role of Therine, the right hand vampire of supremo in La Luna Sangre.

Another dream come true for this hopeless romantic is when she starred in the rom-com episode of Wattpad Presents Afgitmolfm, where she became Ianne, the girl in the middle of a love triangle. 



With her recent sisters contract renewal, Myrtle will continue to live her dream of being part of an advocacy- the school is cool campaign of Megasoft hygienic products, makers of sisters. Again, they will be visiting public schools around the country, giving recognition to outstanding students and providing talks about menstrual hygiene management awareness. 
“I’m very thankful to my big sis, Ms. Aileen, for believing in me, her love, encouraging words and support. Her hardwork and passion are contagious. She never rests from coming up with new ways and products to better the lives of the filipino family,” Myrtle shares.

She is referring to Ms. Aileen Choi-Go, Megasoft VP for Marketing.

“I’m just so happy for my little sis. She is a dreamer. She is a fighter. Nothing is given to her easily. She knows that she needs to work hard for things to happen for her. And i think these are what achievers are made of. She is being showered with all the blessings she deserves. Congratulations and we are so proud of you,” Ms. Aileen expresses.



Myrtle recently performed with fellow Megasoft ambassadors - Cherub endorser Kristof Garcia and super twins endorser mommy Jolina Magdangal at the successful super twins and sisters day celebration in Starmall Alabang.

On Sept. 16, Myrtle will be in Cebu, 10am at the Megasoft Warehouse in Mandaue City, which will be aired via facebook live. Together with Kristof, she will also visit Gaisano Grand Dumanjug activity center for a meet and greet at 4pm, and will proceed to Gaisano Grand Moalboal activity center mall show at 6pm.

Kristof and the CT GuyZ will be in Puerto Prinsesa City Palawan on Sept. 26 and Isetan Recto Manila on Sept. 29, 3pm.

Other activities and events are posted on facebook @sistersph and instagram @megasoft_ph. 
“Dreams do come true. Kailangan sabayan ng hardwork, discipline, and faith in God. All these dreams have been happening while I am part of my sisters family. So with my renewal, I’m looking forward to more dreams coming true this year,” Myrtle believes.
This means she is already claiming to do an indie film, rom-com teleserye, and more challenging characters.

“In pursuit of education, career or ways of helping others, never stop learning, evolving and improving. Continue dreaming because everything starts with a dream,” she smiles.

Ferro, Head of Marketing Communications and PR, Epson Philippines.   
Epson Philippines has just finished awarding a new set of 15 schools last March 2017, bringing the current total of GoB beneficiaries to 45 schools, with another batch for selection within this year.
“We are focusing on selecting schools from areas that have yet to receive a similar donation, and we are working with partners from both the private and government sectors to help us complete this latest batch. We also plan to continue initiating projects like the Honor Roll Essay Writing, so we can inspire the students in their learning journey,” concludes Ms. Ferro.
