The Philippines’ new ambassador to the Holy See, who formally assumed diplomatic mission over the weekend, said she is ready to take steps to further improve ties with the Vatican.

Grace Relucio Princesa presented her credentials to Pope Francis during a meeting at the Vatican on Sept. 1, almost eight months after her appointment from President Rodrigo Duterte.

“I will see how can I improve enhance Philippine-Vatican relations since we have commonalities on issues like migration, climate change, and interfaith,” she said.

“I also hope to assist the estimated Filipino religious community here,” said Princesa, also known as “Nanay Amba”.

Born in Ligao, Albay, the 62-year-old ambassador is a widow and mother of five children.
A diplomat for nearly three decades, she was the first female Philippine ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and had previous postings in Iraq, USA, Egypt and Switzerland.

She also served as Assistant Secretary of the Foreign Affairs Department’s Legislative Liaison Unit.

Princesa has a degree in International Relations from the University of the Philippines and took a master in Migration Studies in Miriam College.
