She finished an M.S. in Rural Sociology from Pennsylvania State University and holds a two honorary doctorate (honoris causa) degrees in Science in Wageningen Agricultural University in the Netherlands and Ateneo de Manila University. She became a professor in University of the Philippines, Los Banos and earned the distinction of being conferred to the rank of being a University Professor.

She has always been guided by the principle that “science must always serve a human purpose” and believes that “when the best science and scientists are devoted to the problems of those who have less in life that is equity and ethics at its best.” As a social scientist, she focused on agricultural and rural development, including health, gender, environment, poverty, inequality, capacity development and participatory research. Also as a pioneer in rural sociology, her initial work focused on the Filipino farmers’ response to new technology and the factors that affect the agricultural and rural development in the Philippines. In all her researches, she always makes sure that the results would be relevant and responsive to the needs of the rural population.

In her career she already published a number of books including, “Toward Understanding the Filipino Farmer”, this book was published in the US which proves that she is active internationally in the issues about rural sociology. “All in a Grain of Rice” is one of first known book about the Filipino farmer’s response to the social and economic implications brought by the new rice technology of the green revolution. This books talks about the Philippine rice situation and the changing Filipino rice farmer.

Her greatest contribution lies in her humanizing science, because for her, science must serve a human purpose. Her writings make her readers empathize with the burdens of the farmer, the plight of rural women, and the frustrations of community organizer
