Her line of work that she does is a milestone of the Philippine cooperative movement - a unique model that can the country can be proud of.

Presently chairing the UP Employees Housing Cooperatives (UPEHCO; she also founded it back in 1990), the housing coop - which she is very much identified with - is now a global movement. UPEHCO will soon develop wellness areas for the working classes.

She was also a convener of the country's first National Summit and Regional Summits of Women in Cooperatives. In 2001, she was a plenary speaker in a conference on Cooperatives and Social Economy held at the University of Barcelona. Also, she was elected vice-chair of the Network for Development of Agricultural Cooperatives in Asia and the Pacific(NEDAC) in 2003-2005.

Dr. Teodosio is a member of the United Nation's Experts of Cooperatives and represented Asia in a meeting held at New York in April 2009.

Finally, this June 2010, Dr. Teodosio has been endorsed as a management cooperative expert by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front Central Committee, to reach out to both local and foreign governments and NGOs in seeking assistance in favor of the marginalized tri-people (Muslims, Lumad,, and the Christians) in post-conflict areas in Mindanao.
