DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Life gave her lemons, and so she made lemonade. Marie Bernadette Jacobo Ortiguerra , who started out in 2007 as sales secretary at a five-star hotel here and is now among top executives of the city’s highly competitive hospitality industry, said that while she considers this a feather in her cap, she has another, and more noteworthy, accomplishment.“It is being called ‘mommy’ by my son, John Marcus, when he was five years old,” Ortiguerra tells GMA News Online.
“It is essential for parents to love their children for who they are.”Ortiguerra, who holds a degree in computer science from AMA Computer University, said parenting a child with severe ASD can be “heart-breaking.”“Teaching, giving directions, guiding him, and getting family members and friends to understand him were all difficult, but I realized I needed to be emotionally tough to be the best parent I could be for him,” she said. It can also be rewarding, she said.
