Maria Carmela Santos is the Lifestyle Editor at Pinoy Golden Years, focusing on retirement living, community, and practical income ideas for Filipino retirees.
Before joining Pinoy Golden Years, Maria worked in community outreach in Quezon City, where she regularly spoke with retirees navigating life after their careers. That experience shapes how she approaches each story — grounded in real, practical concerns rather than abstract advice.
Maria's articles are reviewed and edited by her directly before publication.
