Then, she took up Masters in Business Administration at the University of the Philippines. Her passion and drive to serve led her to finish CSS in Administration and Management at Harvard University in the United States.

At present, Pelayo also serves as the Vice Chairman of the National Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPD) - NCR, and the Project Manager of PROPEL (Promoting Regional Opportunities for Enterprise and Livelihood Development).
