Let's continue getting to know more of our fellow Lab alumni from various fields.
Genevieve Uy-Benebe
Local DRRM Officer
Genevieve 'Gene' Napier Uy-Benebe, from PSU Laboratory High School Batch 1987, was initially a registered nurse by profession, but life took her to directions she didn't expect to take.
'Gene' is reportedly Bayambang's first flight stewardess.
On April 4, 2014, she made another first when she and husband Jess Benebe opened Highlands Golden Bean Cafe, thus becoming the proprietors of the town's first full coffee shop brewery in a semi-formal dining setting.
In 2016, she was hired by her former boss at Stradcom Corp., Mayor Cezar T. Quiambao, as head of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, until she was eventually elevated to her current position as Local DRRM Officer.
As a knowledgeable, well-trained, and passionate LDRRM Officer, she was able to help improve the town's disaster-readiness with the local government's purchase of several responder vehicles and rescue equipment, hiring and training of new personnel, and sustained information drive on DRRM.
Under her watch, Bayambang has been awarded the prestigious Gawad Kalasag from the Office of Civil Defense for several times in a row.
