Teacher Gabby Roa in row one
April 21, 2003 | 12:00am
If her face looks familiar, it’s because she is a model for Pantene shampoo. Being pretty is an asset but for Gabby Roa, 25, joy comes from her work.
From the time she lived in England 10 years ago, five-foot-six-inches-tall Gabby has developed a passion for taking care of preschool children. Her decision to specialize in taking care of little children has led her to study child care in different countries. Our bachelorette is now a teacher at Toddlers Unlimited, an early learning center at the Festival Supermall in Alabang.
On what occasion do you lie?
When people ask me how much I paid for something.

To put up my own preschool, which will be play-based for one to two-year-old toddlers.
How do you resolve your conflicts?
By texting a warning message first before I go for the confrontation.
What book influenced your life?
The Star Belly Sneetches by Dr. Seuss. It’s about sneetches who were admired because they had stars in their bellies. One day, a man came around with a machine that could put stars on people’s bellies. When everyone had stars, the man came up with another machine to remove the stars.

What is your greatest extravagance?
Books. I’ll pay any price for a good book and spend all my time reading an interesting book.
What is the first thing you look at in a woman?
What she’s wearing.
What is the first thing you look at in a man?
His shoes and watch; they’re usually a good indication of how he cares for himself .
Which historical character would you like to have been?
Oh to be someone from the Renaissance period like Forever Amber’s time. What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Those moments when I appreciate my blessings.
What does your dad often say to you ?
"Maraming namamatay sa akala."
What is your favorite journey?
Watching my difficult students change into the best children.
What are the qualities you most like in a man?
Wisdom. Self-confidence.
Name a moment that brings back happy memories.
Playing with my son Augustine, and my nieces, Roxanne, Alicia, & Sach.
