Digna Millondaga-De Guzman is a wife and mother of two kids (an eleven-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl) and is residing in her home province of Bataan.

She also has a Master’s degree in Public Administration (graduated in 2006) from Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) where she eventually became a faculty member (Assistant Professor IV).

Her goal is to establish a BS Social Work program in BPSU that will produce graduates who will enable individuals to achieve their full potential as a person with worth and dignity and to advocate for social justice and human rights in our society.

With her success at this August 2021’s Board Examination for Social Workers, she hopes that her goal will become a reality.
