Eunice Pablo Guerrero-Cucueco

Who was Eunice Pablo Guerrero-Cucueco?

Eunice "Nesing" Guerrero-Cucueco was born on September 16, 1949 in Baler, Aurora. She died on February 12, 1991 at 41 years old.

She completed her medical degree in Preventive Medicine at UERM. She also worked as a professor there while she completed her graduate degree in Public Health at the University of the Philippines. Although she was offered a scholarship at a university in Australia, she opted to stay. Nesing left the faculty at UERM and placed her doctoral classes at Ateneo de Manila University on hold to become a full-time mother to her four children.

After many years and impelled by the need to perform community service like her family before her, Nesing decided to become a civil servant to her home province of Aurora. Although losing the congressional race, Nesing eventually became the first lady Governor of Aurora. She won the gubernatorial race by a landslide.
