The Legends Rising

A Century of Faith, Fortune, and the Rise of Greatness

New York, NY — October 30, 2025

The Nursing Office.Com proudly announces the release of The Legends Rising, a powerful new memoir co-authored by Myrna D. Santos that chronicles the extraordinary life of Irene Moraga Lumbrera, a self-made millionaire, spiritual witness, and “Woman of All Seasons.”

At 96 years old, Irene’s story unfolds as a living testament to faith, resilience, and generational impact. From her rise to wealth at age 26 in post-war Philippines, to her spiritual journey alongside Iglesia Ni Cristo founder Felix Ysagun Manalo, to her return from homelessness through community care, Irene’s life is a symphony of triumph, loss, and divine purpose.

The Legends Rising is more than a memoir; it is a tribute to greatness in all its forms. Featuring stories of men and women whose lives shaped communities and inspired generations, the book invites readers to reflect on legacy, faith, and the power of storytelling. “This book shows how Legends Rise and promises more to come,” writes Santos, whose voice as a nurse, friend, and movement builder weaves through the narrative with poetic grace.
