Eva Jeciel Bambao

Eva Jeciel Bambao is a successful salon owner and manager based in Dubai, UAE. Originally from Cavite, Philippines, Eva has spent almost four years working abroad, with her salon, Le Mora Ladies Salon, offering top-quality salon services to clients throughout Dubai.

Eva’s journey to working overseas began as a result of the desire for a higher income, as well as the concern that the Taal volcano eruption in the Philippines could have a negative impact on the economy. Prior to working abroad, Eva worked for a construction company for 19 years as a secretary. During this time, she developed her business skills, which would serve her well in her future endeavors.

In addition to her work, Eva is also the founder of the Cavite Volunteer’s Act Inc., a non-government organization in the Philippines that provides free medical and dental missions. This organization has been running for almost 15 years and is still going strong today, a testament to Eva’s dedication to helping others.

Eva’s passion for her work is evident in her dedication to constantly improving and learning. She recalls having a dream in her 30s about having a healing hand, which she was able to make a reality after 12 years of hard work. Eva never imagined that she would end up in the salon industry, let alone making a name for herself both in the Philippines and overseas.

Working overseas has provided Eva with many opportunities, including the chance to experience different cultures and meet people from all over the world. She credits her time abroad with helping her grow as an individual, and is grateful for the experience.

Of course, working overseas also comes with its own set of challenges. For Eva, her biggest struggle came in the form of her former employer cancelling her visa without her knowledge. She continued to work for them for three months without a visa, putting her life at risk. Despite this, Eva managed to overcome the situation with the help of her faith and the support of those around her.

Looking to the future, Eva is focused on growing her salon business and expanding it to help more people, both by providing quality salon services and by creating jobs for others. She hopes to make a difference in the lives of her fellow Filipinos and anyone else she can help through her business.

To those struggling abroad, Eva advises staying humble and seeking guidance from God. She also encourages everyone to never give up on their dreams, no matter their age or circumstances. Eva’s own success story is a testament to the power of perseverance and hard work.

Eva urges all Filipino overseas workers to never stop improving and dreaming, and to make their country proud by excelling in their chosen careers. Her own accomplishments serve as a shining example of what can be achieved with dedication, passion, and hard work.
