[citation needed] From 1928 to 1938, Victorina had formal schooling at the Colegio de Santa Rosa, Intramuros, where she finished with honors.

While at the Colegio de Santa Rosa, her family's household often brought her medicine, and the nuns at the institution often gave her extra food due to her poor health.

During her stay at the convent in Lipa, she witnessed the miracles and the said apparitions of the Blessed Virgin as Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces to the postulant, Teresita Castillo.

Arriving in Naga City on August 5, 1966, she assisted Archbishop Teopisto Alberto as first superior and formator of the Daughters of Mary, Mother of the Church.

She was actively engaged in social action apostolate of the archdiocese when she was assigned to the convent of Quiapo, which was to become the Holy Face center.
