LAURA BALATBAT-CORPUZ
My
name is Laura Balatbat-Corpuz of Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines.I taught grade school in Bulacan and Caloocan Public Schools before immigrating to the United States in 1969. My first job in Peoria, Illinois, which I had for eight (8) years, was teaching music to Pre-school children.
I enjoy working at the Bradley University Library where I have been a Circulation/Interlibrary Loan Coordinator for 29 years now even though I am an Illinois certified teacher. My interaction with patrons of different age levels makes my job very interesting and challenging.
I also volunteer with Radio Information Service WCBU FM 89.9 as a reader to the blind which I have done for almost 2 decades now. Volunteering with PAFIS (Peoria Area Friends of International Students), for which I served as Host Family Chairman and currently, the Membership Chairman is an excellent cultural experience for me.
My husband and I have been host family for international students in the past and that opened the door to global awareness and understanding. Recently, I was elected President of FASCI (Filipino-American Society of Central Illinois).
My spiritual values get stronger as I perform my duties as a committee member in my Catholic faith.
When it comes to folklore, cultural heritage and ethnicity, I am always proud to speak about our unique Filipino identity.
