She got several awards and citations from different organizations here and abroad. She helped and support most of Kiwanis organizations in different clubs in the Philippines. High decision-making skill is one of Ms. Hufano’s outstanding traits on top of being a reliable and trustworthy individual.

“My past , my business and my team (friends and colleagues) won’t control me in terms of running in this position, its neutral to be in the middle that not all people won’t agree with you but the mere fact one has the heart in helping the community and its people- one can’t alter or change someone’s decision because of the simple reason about those 3 things. Because we know that a leader must have the heart and a mere high dedication to what he or she’s doing – a pre-requisite for a person to run in any organization’s position. “ – Ms. Hufano said.

According to Engr. Grace Bondad Nicolas who is also part of Kiwanis, “Glenda is someone who will be there for you no matter what is the circumstance. Her heart is genuine to help not just the indigent children but everyone in her own capacity without asking anything in return. She’s the leader that you want to be with. Very humble and soft spoken. Worthy for all the awards she keeps on receiving.”

Ms. Glenda Hufano, a mother of 4 young professionals, is someone to trust a position with, for everything that she does, she lifts it up with the Lord. She believes on Isaiah 49:23: “She who trusts in the Lord will never be disappointed”
