RAQUEL BAGTAS LINTAG

IRAQUEL BAGTAS LINTAG had just passed the board as a nurse practitioner. Raquel is the daughter of the late Eduardo U. Bagtas of Orion, Bataan, Philippines and Rowena Tumbokon Miroy of Ibajay, Aklan, Philippines. She graduated BSN as cum laude from St. Louis University, Baguio City in 1989, took the board exam the same year and passed it.

She worked as a nurse at the Bataan Provincial Hospital before she got married to Crispin Lintag, a US navy, native of Orion, Bataan but residing in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She came over to the states to join her husband in December 1991. After successfully passing the state board exam, she worked at Lake Taylor Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia as a charge nurse for more than 11 years. Desiring to move on with her career, she took her Master of Science in Nursing at the Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia and graduated on December 18, 2005.

A mother herself to her two beautiful and smart daughters, Jennifer, who is 13 years old and Kimberly, 12. Both are in the principal’s list.

At present, Raquel is working full time with doctors who are in general practice. She is also a member of their church choir. Her husband, Crispin plays the electric guitar, daughter Jennifer sings and Kimberly plays violin and piano for their choir sometimes.

Raquel on her own strength without the intervention of the Almighty God won’t be able to reach the pedestal where she is now.
