When Alyana Gutierrez decided to pursue her CHRP certification, she wasn’t just investing in her own professional growth—she was standing on the shoulders of those who believed in her.
“I am truly fortunate to be part of an organization that prioritizes continuous learning and professional growth,” she shared in an interview with Financial Adviser PH. “The unwavering support and encouragement I’ve received from the Guanzon Group have been instrumental in my journey to becoming a Certified Human Resource Professional.”
While many professionals seek certification for career advancement, Alyana’s experience was shaped by the people around her—mentors, executives, and teammates who encouraged her to reach higher.
She credits her boss, Roger Bernabe, for shaping her approach to HR, legal matters, and even life. She draws inspiration from Joseph Lo, the company’s CEO, whose vision for excellence continues to guide her. She also praises Guanson Lo, their President, for fostering innovation, and Carol Ann Español, her department manager, for helping her navigate the complexities of HR with confidence and care.
“Their collective wisdom has been invaluable in my journey,” she said. “At Guanzon Group, we believe in unlocking potential—a belief that has profoundly influenced my development.”
That culture of support didn’t just help her complete the CHRP program—it gave her a mindset grounded in mentorship, collaboration, and continuous learning.
“The certification has not only expanded my knowledge but also reinforced the importance of having a strong support system,” Alyana said. “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities that have come my way and for the people who have made this journey so fulfilling.”
Her story reminds us that professional success isn’t only about credentials or skills—it’s also about the people who see your potential and push you to grow. For Alyana, CHRP wasn’t just a title. It was a shared achievement built on trust, encouragement, and a culture that empowers its people to lead with purpose.
