Rowena Beltran, InfiniVAN’s Senior Vice President, shows what it truly means to lead with both authority and heart – at home and the office.
Between the many roles she carries, she refuses to be defined by just one. Instead, she chooses to focus on what is placed before her — giving each responsibility the attention it deserves. And beneath her strength and composure lies a deeply compassionate heart.
Weng, as most people call her, does not have a system, a schedule color-coded in four different inks, or a morning routine she read about in a self-help book. What she has is simpler than that: she just keeps showing up.
Every single day.
She is the Senior Vice President of InfiniVAN Inc., overseeing multiple departments and carrying the kind of responsibility that most people would find overwhelming on its own. But Weng also has three kids at home, all in school, and a household that does not run itself.
She does not pretend that her responsibilities are easy. Each day demands resilience, discipline, and an unwavering drive to move forward.
“Truth be told, it’s exhausting — but you have to keep going,” she shares. “You have your family, who sees beauty in everything you do. You have co-workers who believe in your goals, and a husband who loves you no matter what. It is draining, but those people keep me moving.”
At work, she oversees multiple departments, each with its own demands and expectations. Balancing both worlds is no small feat. Yet one statement of hers lingers:
“You have to be there, so they can have the best of everything — and win everything.”
In those words is the quiet determination of a mother willing to give everything for the people she loves.
Before the Office
Most people know Weng as a leader — sophisticated, composed, and impeccably put together. What they do not see is what comes before any of that: the bare face lit with quiet contentment, and the slightly loose clothes that are simply, honestly her.
Her day begins long before most. First and foremost, she is a mother. She ensures that everything at home is settled, taken care of, and exactly as it should be.
There is something worth paying attention to in all of it. Waking up early is a choice to give up sleep. Planning the family’s schedule is an extension of her whole day — a task she takes on even in place of rest. These are small decisions, made every day, that add up to something much larger over time. They are how a person shows love without ever saying it out loud.
“No matter how taxing the job is, at the end of the day, you feel satisfied.”
And her role as a mother does not stop at the front door. It follows her into the workplace.
The Same at Work
What is interesting about Weng is that she does not really switch off the mother in her when she gets to the office. She just redirects it.
As a senior leader, she extends the same care and guidance to her colleagues that she gives her children at home. She sees her teams not merely as employees, but as individuals whose growth she feels responsible for. She leads with intention — aligning departments with the company’s goals while staying attentive to the people behind the work.
In many ways, she nurtures her teams the way she nurtures her family — offering direction when uncertainty arises and steadying them when challenges threaten to pull them off course.
It is the same thing she does at home. She just does it with a lot more people.
What She Actually Calls It
When asked to describe her typical day, Weng did not pause for long.
“Total chaos,” she said.
She says it the way someone speaks when they have already made peace with what they are describing. No complaints, no bragging. Just a calm, rested smile and a statement of fact that every working mother will recognize without needing it explained.
There are days when everything arrives at once — something at home, something at work, something in between. These are the moments when surrender feels like the most reasonable option, when the weight of it all makes giving up look almost rational.
But what is commendable about Weng is her consistency. She is held steady by a principle she lives by: that solutions never run dry, as long as you face them with order and intention.
“When chaos threatens to take over, control and order must come first.”
She keeps showing up. She keeps delivering — not perfectly, but completely. And more often than not, that is more than enough.
From Whom She Learned
Some of you may be wondering who shaped Weng into the kind of person who leads with such quiet steadiness. The answer, she will tell you without hesitation, is her Mother.
Growing up, Weng looked up to her mother, not with the wide-eyed admiration of a fan, but with the attentive eyes of someone taking careful notes. She watched, and she learned. She saw in her mother a blueprint for the kind of woman, and eventually the kind of mother, she wanted to become.
Rooted in love and guided by direction, Weng carried those lessons with her. She adopted the values and practices her mother had modeled — and from them, she built the grit, the warmth, and the quiet strength that define her today.
To this day, she honors her mother — not just in memory, but in everything she does.
A Message for Mother's Day
Today, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, let us take a moment to remember that our mothers cared for us not only with love, but with willingness and intention — day after day, without asking for recognition in return.
May this celebration move us to reciprocate, in whatever small way we can, even a fraction of what they have given us. May it remind us of the many roles they quietly carried just to give us a good life, not only within the walls of home, but in everything we have become beyond them.
Let us be intentional in honoring them today, and every day that follows.
Happy Mother’s Day.
