Further, she held important positions in advisory or governing boards of institutions and organizations, including the Human Development Network, Asian Scholarship Foundation, Philippine Social Science Council, and the National University of Singapore’s Asian Research Institute. She also chaired the UNESCO National Commission’s Social Science and Humanities Committee, the ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework Task Force, and the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation.
Bautista has written articles and provided lectures on various topics, such as the middle-class culture, poverty and agrarian reform, gender, educational reform, peace and order and conflict, disaster mitigation and management, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
