Dr. Ligaya Acosta makes her home in the Philippines, where for more than 28 years she had previously worked against the culture of life as a loyal government employee for the Department of Health. During that time, she was a firm believer in population control and an avid promoter of contraceptives. She also served for 15 years as manager of the Information-Education and Communication office and as a trainer for those working with AIDS/STD victims. With a Doctorate in Management, and Bachelor degrees in Law and Social Work, she was well qualified for her government post.

In 2004, Dr. Acosta began to see the international pro-death propaganda for what it really was. She began doing independent research (which in part included reference materials from HLI), and after nearly 3 decades as an avid promoter of contraceptives and population control, Dr. Acosta made a 180-degree turn and became a pro-life advocate and activist.

By the end of 2004, her conversion was complete. Then, with passion and resolve, she turned her attention to defending human life, faith, marriage, and the family, and to exposing the deadly deception of the culture of death that she had known all too well. She left her job and high-paying consultancies in February 2005 and began her new campaign for life.
