In a community that had never seen a transgender leader, Lester brings a fresh perspective to the role by daring to be different. Despite being assigned male at birth, she courageously presents herself as a female, unapologetically embracing her true identity with authenticity and resilience.Lester’s journey of leadership began long before her role as SK Chairman.
Their collective dedication to serving others has instilled in Lester a sense of purpose, motivating her to dedicate herself to public service. With a father who served as a barangay tanod, Lester’s passion for community building runs deep within her veins.Stepping into the role of SK Chairman was not without its challenges. As a transgender individual, she has faced bullying, discrimination, and abuse.
Lester’s approach to leadership is rooted in the belief that gender should not be a determining factor in one’s ability to lead effectively. She believes that leadership, like love, is genderless. She does not introduce herself as the “first-ever transgender SK Chairman,” but rather as Lester—a leader driven by passion, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of positive change.
