Engineer Nenita A. Robles is one who always believes in Divine intervention and hard and honest work in order to succeed. Her designation on May 30, 2011 as OIC-Assistant Regional Director of the Department of Public Works and Highways IX is an answer to her prayers and a recognition of her dedication to her work.

          She rose from the ranks starting as Civil Engineering Aide then became Associate Civil Engineer, Senior C.E, Supervisor C.E I, II and III, Engineer III, Engineer IV, Engineer V, Project Manager I, OIC-District Engineer, and Project Manager II.

         She was conferred her Career Service Executive Eligibility (CSEE) from Civil Service Commission in 1998 and her Career Executive Service Eligibility (CES Eligibility) from Career Executive Board (CESB) in 2002 and now holds a CEO VI rank. Both 3^rd level eligibilities were achieved following all the levels of tests required for both. Luckily she took each of those required tests only once.

         A valedictorian in her elementary and high school days, she was also a consistent full scholar in her college days. She finished her B.S. in Civil Engineering from Mindanao State University, Marawi City and her Master’s Degree in Public Administration with some units in a doctorate degree from Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga City.

         She has attended several trainings and seminars in the field of Engineering & Management that include the following:  Junior Executive Training by the Civil Service Commission where she was awarded a certificate of Merit for Outstanding Performance; Transportation Planning Course at the University of Philippines Transport Training Center, Diliman, Quezon City where she got a Certificate of Completion with Distinction; Seminar for Action Officers where she received a Commendation for submitting the best solution to a case study/problem; Regional Physical Framework Planning, Modules I to IV; Integrated Executive Leadership Program; and many others.

         She has been involved in implementing several major projects amounting to billions of pesos which include several UK bridges, completion of the gaps left by ADB along the Zamboanga City-Pagadian Road and SONA Projects in the region.

ARD Robles is happily married for 39 years to Salvador Robles Jr., also a Civil Engineer, a CE Board 9^th placer and a Professor at Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga City, with whom she has two children.

         For all the blessings she has received, she takes everyday in her work as a challenge to keep things right and in order, for the best interest of the public she serves, her co-workers who regard her with high respect and love, and the Department where she belongs.
