BEAUTY.
BRAINS. BREEDING. When
somebody gets a glimpse of this self- effacing and mild- mannered lady for the
first time, chances are you would use the three aforementioned words to
describe her.
But
how would you describe this lady when you realize that there’s more than meets
the eyes. One would definitely be at a loss for words for mere adjectives
aren’t enough to give justice to this feisty, fascinating and fabulous dame
whose regal bearing bespeaks of her innate strength and quiet dignity
CULINARY
ARTS WIZ
Rose
has always been a culinary wiz who can cook up the best gourmet dishes that can
tickle even the most discriminating palate.
Add
up her legendary entertaining and social graces that have been honed to
perfection with her constant hobnobbing with the A- crowd and you get a
surefire formula for success!
And
so it was in 1963 when the Bayview Restaurant & Music Lounge that
specialized in Filipino and Chinese culinary delights came into being.

With
impeccable customer satisfaction as its ultimate aim, it also prided itself on
inviting Manila- based entertainers to ensure topnotch entertainment.
With
Rose at the helm, the two- storey restaurant and nightly music lounge soon
became the watering hole for Bohol’s who’s who.
During
its heyday, it was famed for banquets, receptions, milestones, induction
ceremonies and became the hang out for the Jaycees, Rotarians, Lions,
politicians & nat’l govt. officials
ROSE CONQUERS MANILA
It
was in 1972 when she opened the legendary Manila Steak House along Ermita St.
with 1969 Miss Universe Gloria A. Diaz as guest of honor. With her latest
venture now a flourishing business, she soon became a permanent fixture in
social functions and important events.
She
even developed a close friendship with the late Joe Quirino, who was the most
popular TV talk show host and society columnist who made the Rose of Bohol a
regular guest in his weekly television talk show “Seeing Stars with Joe
Quirino” that aired over IBC Channel 13

TOURISM
PIONEER OF BOHOL
Madame
Rose is indeed a visionary who had the foresight to promote Bohol as a top
tourist destination long before it was in vogue. She is one of the pioneering
visionaries who saw and believed in Bohol’s abundance of natural wonders that
would entice tourists to fall in love with the province.
BECOMING A
ROTARIAN
Becoming
a Rotarian back in 2000 was a turning point in her life. It was being actively
involved in the Rotary’s various socio- civic projects that she was able to
find an avenue for her helping ways. Channeling one’s energy, talents and time
into something that benefits the community is no mean accomplishment.
AGELESS
BEAUTY
Considered
as one of Bohol’s most celebrated beauties, she is one of the rare few who has
defied time andwho is often talked- about for sterling attributes such as
breeding, impeccable manners, and quiet dignity around her.
Now
at the prime of her life, she has been bestowed a lot of titles and
appellations such as Bohol’s First Lady of Tourism and the Ageless Beauty.

THE QUEEN OF
THE ROTARY
But
the title that she holds dear to her heart is the Queen of the Rotary of
Tagbilaran, a recognition that she has held for six consecutive years starting
in 2006 and up to the present.
The
title is very dear to her for it symbolizes the club’s respect and high regard
for her and through it, she can reach out to the less fortunate.
When
asked to reveal her beauty secrets, she simply said that it’s the sense of
purpose, peace of mind, and contentment that has given her the aura of a
beautiful person inside and out.
