Kristina Mae Misajon is the Program Officer for the National Teachers’ Month (NTM) Secretariat managed by the Metrobank Foundation, Inc. in collaboration with the Department of Education and various multi-sectoral partners. She continues to elevate the NTM movement beyond a celebration, becoming the venue to promote and advocate for teacher welfare.

Ms. Misajon graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Mass Communication (Minor in Development Communication) from St. Scholastica’s College Manila in 2012.

The Ora et Labora brand of education and its rigorous Mass Communication program had impacted her as a student leader and later, as a development worker. She strives to elevate National Teachers’ Month (NTM) as the ideal model of an effective multi-sectoral collaboration that highlights the importance of empowering our Filipino teachers through the expression of thanksgiving and how this contributes to professional development.
