Dinah Jill Galleros-Migallon, LPT, is a dynamic professional with a rich background spanning various fields. After
graduating in March 2015 from Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan with a Bachelor's degree in Secondary
Education majoring in English, Dinah quickly made her mark by passing the Board Licensure Exam for Professional
Teachers the same year. With a passion for education and administration, she embarked on a journey that led her
through diverse roles, each contributing to her growth and expertise.
Transitioning from a Junior and Senior High School English teacher (2015-2017) to administrative and HR roles,
Dinah has proven to possess exceptional organizational and managerial skills during her tenure at the City Museum of
Cagayan de Oro and Heritage Studies Center from May 2017 to June 2020. Her responsibilities included overseeing
the museum's day-to-day operations, managing procurement activities, and spearheading human resources
development initiatives. Dinah's commitment to preserving cultural heritage went beyond her administrative duties,
as she actively engaged with esteemed organizations such as the Mindanao Association of Museums (MAM) and the
National Historical Commission of the Philippines - Local Historical Committees Network (NHCP-LHCN).
Between June 2020 and June 2021, Dinah started working in the academic field as a Planning, Research, and External
Linkages Associate at the Cagayan de Oro Technical-Vocational Institute (CDO-TVI). During this time, she was
responsible for developing the institute's curriculum, providing technical assistance to stakeholders, and establishing
partnerships to improve outreach efforts.
Dinah's commitment to promoting educational excellence and community engagement was also demonstrated during
her tenure as Executive Assistant to the Focal Person for Education at the Local School Board (LSB) from June 2021 to
June 2022, where she played a crucial role in coordinating various Cagayan de Oro city-wide education programs and
initiatives. Aside from assisting the LSB Executive Director in the technical operations of the office, Dinah also served
as a Secretariat of different education and youth committees and technical working groups, such as the Out-of-School
Youth Development Alliance (OSYDA), Technical Education, Skills Development, and Employment Committee
(TESDEC), and Northern Mindanao Regional Education Council (NMREC). Moreover, she closely worked with different
national and local education bodies and partners for the city's programs, such as the DepEd CDO, Teach for the
Philippines, Inc. (TFP), Ayala Foundation, Inc. (AFI), Synergeia Foundation, Inc., and Philippine Business for Education
(PBED).
Dinah's professional journey continued to progress as she took on more strategic positions within the CDO-TVI and
eventually transitioned to the City College of Cagayan de Oro. From June 2022 to April 2023, as the Head of the
Administrative Services Division at CDO-TVI, she played a vital role in establishing internal HR and administrative
guidelines. This laid the foundation for more efficient and streamlined operations of the school. Her subsequent role
as HR Designate later that year underscored her commitment to upholding best practices in recruitment, selection,
and personnel management, ensuring compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
In her most recent role as the OIC- Director of the Human Resources and Management Division at the City College of
Cagayan de Oro since January 2024, Dinah has been overseeing all aspects of the school’s human resources
recruitment, administration, and management—with a keen focus on fostering conducive work environment and
promoting staff development.
Outside her professional endeavors, Dinah finds joy in her personal life, cherishing moments with her husband, John
Mari, and has been married for one year and counting. Together, they indulge in motorcycle “long rides”, binge-watch
suspenseful Netflix series, delve into Paulo Coelho's books, and prepare dinners together at home.
In both her professional and personal life, Dinah exemplifies dedication, passion, and a zest for life. Her unwavering
spirit and her belief in the power of love, connection, and shared experiences are reflected in her commitment to her
career and her nurturing of meaningful relationships.
