PINAY NAMED

GGU MOST OUTSTANDING ALUMNI

SEEN IN THE CITY

(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) – Public Utility Commission’s Jossie Alegre was named this year’s recipient of MOST OUSTANDING ALUMNI AWARD, given by Golden Gate University based in San Francisco last August 25, 2015.

Jossie was born and raised in Nueva Ecija in the Philippines. As a working mother of four and grandmother to countless ‘apos,’ she finished her Executive Masters in Business Administration – Public Administration at Golden Gate University in San Francisco in 2008. She last received a similar award – MOST OUTSTANDING ALUMNI (PUBLIC SERVICE) from the Far Eastern University in Manila, Philippines last FEU June 27, 1997 together with co-awardees then – Senator Ramon Revilla, Congressman Endaya, Gloria Yaptinchay.

Gushing like an Oscar Best Actress awardee, she exclaimed, “I didn’t even expect it! I was invited to attend the Golden Gate University’s Pi Alpha Alpha-The Global Honor Society for Public Affair’s 25th Anniversary. I didn’t feel anything special even after they called me twice last week to ensure my attendance in the event. I didn’t know that the highlight of the event was the awarding ceremony for the Most Outstanding Alumni! And when they announced the name of the winner – wait, it was me, JOSSIE ALEGRE! I was in total shock, the whole world around stopped! I was very appreciative most especially the award came from colleagues and MBA professors at the university. One of God’s blessings to me.”

Among her countless blessings are her children and grandchildren – some of them are local bay area celebrities (Dholly Yamsuan, Justin Alegre, Ethan Alexander Sabal), modeling or Avel Bacudio’s ‘F MODE FASHION SHOW/EXPO’ slated for Saturday, September 12, 2015.

Jossie is currently working, for the last 17 years now as an Accounting Operations Manager for San Francisco’s Public Utilities Commission.

Congratulations! Another Pinoy Pride!
