Cordillera - Kriza Mae Peligman Bonggik, proudly wears her traditional handwoven dress as she graduates with a master's degree at the age of 23 at the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
She's the youngest of her batch and the only Filipino.
The University of Antwerp is known for their high standards in education, internationally competitive research and entrepreneurial approach.
Kriza Mae was once chosen to represent her University to get inside the NATO headquarters. She said in her post that "It was overwhelming. I was the only Filipino/Asian national so my perspective was not fully in line from the rest who were representatives from US and EU, truly and immensely, I learned a lot."
