Meet Luis’ Yaya Cindy
Yaya Cindy, hailing from Iloilo City, has a family and a child in Batangas. She doesn’t merely view Luis as an employer. To her, he’s a caring, generous individual who consistently goes the extra mile. When her brother needed a critical operation, Luis immediately stepped in, covering the expenses without seeking anything in return. This act of kindness only served to strengthen their bond. Instances like these illustrate how Luis perceives Yaya Cindy not only as an employee but also as a valued member of his extended family.
Their open communication and shared sense of humor further enhance the warm, familial dynamic in their working relationship. For nearly three decades, Yaya Cindy has been diligently sending financial support through Palawan Express Pera Padala, and now with PalawanPay.

In a heartwarming exchange of gratitude, Yaya Cindy extends her heartfelt wishes to Luis and his family, with special thoughts for Peanut, Luis’ cherished daughter. Yaya Cindy fondly describes Luis as,

In turn, Luis responds with, “I want you to have all the best in life, ‘Gusto ko maging masaya ka every day, sa bawat tulog at paggising mo masaya ka” (I want you to be happy every day, every time you sleep or wake up, you are happy).
