It is best to describe Mary B. Tolentino’s
life as an amalgam of creative and noble pursuits. A medical doctor
by training, Tolentino is an educator in the field of information
technology (IT). She currently holds top posts in two educational
institutions in Bacolod: as president of Medical Transcription and
Coding (MTC) Academy, which she described as IT-enabled; and as vice
president of the Institute of Manpower and Computer Technology
(Impact), an IT learning institute.
Calling the shots for two schools may seem too
much of a work for the average Jane but not for the
doctor-turned-educator. Tolentino is also into producing documentary
films, writing, dance, modeling and environmental protection. “But
above all these I’m also a mom,” she adds lightheartedly.

In an age when cynicism, absurdity and hypocrisy
make the very notion heroism seem a bit daft and loony—a Quixotic
notion to be found only in comic books where people where tights and
a cape. But even today, the unlikeliest people can embody true
heroism in real life.
