Proving Competence and Integrity

Enad emphasized that Inglay's competence and integrity shine through her active involvement in professional activities, significant contributions to her field, and effective engagement in social-related activities.

Beyond the Courtroom

Mary Inglay, known as "Inglay," serves as legal counsel for small-scale miners and juvenile delinquents, showcasing her dedication to justice. She expanded her impact by establishing "Cordillera Quest," providing skills training for out-of-school youths in Benguet and nearby areas.

Culinary Kindness at 'Inglay Restaurant'

Her generosity extends to "Inglay Restaurant" in La Trinidad, Benguet, turning it into a food drive during calamities. Even during the pandemic, she opened a feeding station in the restaurant to ensure no one in her community went hungry.

This prestigious award recognizes her dedication to justice, her work with small-scale miners and juvenile delinquents, and her commitment to social responsibility.

Acknowledgments Keep Coming

PRC's Consistent Recognition

The PRC uses its awards to highlight professionals embodying traits like integrity, responsibility, competence, excellent service, and valuable contributions to their professions.
