Early life

Eduardo is the eldest of four siblings to parents Eduardo and Elisa Galang, who were a dentist and certified public accountant, respectively.[1] Her family owned a garments export business in Manila, a rice milling business in Bocaue, Bulacan and a rice trading business in Nueva Ecija.[2] The family also owned a bowling center.[3]

She managed these activities until she formed her own company in 1995, the "Sta. Elena Construction and Development Corporation".[4] This was a stepping stone to entering the construction industry.[5][6] She started with four sets of cranes that she rented until she bagged a partnership with a Japanese construction firm. Her company, Sta. Elena Construction, was subcontracted to build the foundation for a power plant in Batangas.[3]

Before Eduardo even became a young entrepreneur, she was drawn to properties. She bought her first condominium in Ortigas while in college.[3]

Eduardo has drawn recognition for her business achievements, including being named one of Go Negosyo's 50 Inspiring Women of Passion.[7]
