“There are many choices in the world, but choose carefully,” she said. This statement holds great significance for her, as her current success is not a matter of chance but a result of deliberate choice. She chose to become a teacher and has been devoted to her profession for nearly 30 years. Her teaching career began at Saint Anthony Academy, followed by an assignment at Tuburan National High School. In 2005, she transferred to Cebu Technological University (CTU) Tuburan (formerly CSCST-PC) as a faculty member of the College of Education.

MMa. Carla Yap-Abaquita, known as Madam Carla to her students, friends, and colleagues, graduated from the University of San Jose Recoletos in 1988 and passed the Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination that same year. However, her passion for teaching led her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education. She completed 32 units and passed the Teacher’s Examination successfully.

She holds a degree in MAEd in Administration and Supervision and earned 27 units in MAEd in General Science. Her expertise was honed much better when she enrolled in the Graduate School at CTU Tuburan and was conferred a Doctor in Development Education degree.

She currently holds the position of Associate Professor V and serves as the Campus Director for CTU Tuburan and Tabuelan. Her strong academic background, extensive experience, and exemplary teaching performance have clearly paved the way for her to assume this leadership role.

According to Madam Carla, her time at the institution has allowed her to grow significantly in her field. She brought a wealth of skills to CTU Tuburan, and her willingness to apply these talents in service of the school contributed greatly to her professional and personal development. This dedication enabled her to make a meaningful impact, earning her recognition as one of the most outstanding teachers at CTU Tuburan. In 2012, she was appointed Dean of the College of Engineering and later served as Dean of Instruction. Madam Carla’s expertise as an engineer, educator, and administrator has thoroughly prepared her—both academically and emotionally—for this challenging and rewarding chapter in her career. Her abilities in teaching and leadership have since reached their fullest potential.

She has published researches namely: “Implementation of Content Education at CTU Tuburan: Some Proposals”; Tropical Technology Journal, ISSN 1656-0264, Volume 13 No. 1-2, January – June 2010, Integrated Scientific Journal of CTU and ‘’The Garbage Disposal Practices of the Municipalities in the Third Congressional District, Province of Cebu”; Tropical Technology Journal, ISSN 1656-0264, Volume 12 No 1-2, January-June 2009, Integrated Scientific Journal of CTU.
