Leadership Team

Harmony serves as the founding President of the Philippine American Chamber of Commerce of Southern Colorado, INC (PACCSoCo) and comes with a diverse background on leadership, community representation, and community service.

As a young community leader, she was the National President of the 10,000 – strong Association of Law Students of the Philippines (ALSP) and later on became the first woman to be elected President of the ASEAN Law Students Association (ALSA) in Jakarta.

She later on became the first recipient of the Rufus B. Rodriguez Award for Excellence in International Relations.

In Colorado Springs where she now resides with her husband Chris, a US Air Force veteran, she serves as the current Vice-President of the non-profit Filipino American Community of Southern Colorado (FACSC) and is one of the stalwarts of the Tindahang Filipino sa Colorado (TFC), a group of over 4,000 vendors and consumers in the state.

In her free time, she goes back to her first love – writing. She was, once upon a time, the youngest regular member of the National Press Club in the Philippines when she was 14 years old.

May is a Real Estate agent specializing in helping diverse families who are moving to and from Colorado. She also serves as an advocate in creating an opportunity in building relationships among others. She personally comes from a place of service that helps the community by organizing and volunteering with FilAm non-profit events through vendor bazaars and festivals.

She loves to travel with family and friends during her spare time and plans to visit all 7 continents in the future.

Jennifer Victoria Gabuyo works as a Human Resource Business Partner with V2X company headquartered in McLean, Virginia, a Defense Contractor supporting our military with global services in 21 countries. Before coming to the US as an immigrant, she worked as an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker). She came from a family of OFWs and, as expected, after finishing college with a Bachelor of Arts Degree she tried her luck and went to Kuwait. This opened many doors that led her to the Human Resources arena, where she has been in since 2007.

The experiences gained during those times gave her a deeper understanding of the plight of her fellow OFWs. To be able to impart her experiences and give a representation to the rest of her fellow OFWs is her advocacy. Her small way of looking back to her roots and humble beginnings allows her to give back to the community within her reach, the best way she can.
