Retired Principal II, Labrador National High School
Labrador, Pangasinan, Philippines
Dr. Victoria Z. Veloria, a committed teacher, guidance counselor, and school administrator by profession, was born in Dagupan City, Pangasinan, Philippines. Her father, the late Policarpo Fernandez Veloria Sr., who retired as regional superintendent for private schools in Southern Mindanao District, Philippines, inspired her to soar high vistas in the mainstream of education. As a former principal of Labrador National High School, she grappled head-on for eleven years with the dire need for superior human resources and school facilities to promote quality education, thus turning the school populace of 112 students in 1992 to an amazing 1,600 in 2003 before she left for USA.
Dr. Veloria finished college at Ateneo de Davao University, Davao City, in 1972 and was a silver medal awardee for literary excellence in English-Filipino and Filipino-English translations. Her great passion for higher education urged her to finish her master of arts degree in education at the University of Mindanao in 1988 and pursued her doctor of education degree at the University of Pangasinan in 2000 after eleven years of teaching and counseling in Tagum City National High School, Tagum City, Davao del Norte. She also took her master of arts degree in elementary education at University of Phoenix, USA, in 2011.
Dr. Veloria is now a resident of Orlando, Florida, USA, after retiring as principal II of Labrador National High School. Writing poems is her passion. Her own collection of poetry appears in The English Translations of Pangasinan Folk Literature (c. 2005), which she coauthored with Dr. Erlinda T. Nava. Furthermore. Dr. Veloria’s poems “Glimpses” and “Remember When” were published in Timeless Voices (c. 2006) and Forever Spoken (c. 2007) respectively, and both books were edited by Howard Ely. Breathe in Jesus and Other Poems (c. 2015) is Dr. Veloria’s first publication in the USA on her personal encounter with the Lord and with her personal acquaintances.показать меньше
