Okubo, who celebrated her 71st birthday on March 25, was deeply rooted in the Baguio press and contributed significantly to the Cordillera media community. She was instrumental in Nordis’ transition from a mimeographed dispatch to a community paper in 2002. She served as its editor-in-chief for almost a decade until her retirement in January 2019. Despite stepping down from her editorial role, she contributed as a columnist and editorial consultant until 2022.

After her release, she was required to report weekly to Camp Bado Dangwa in La Trinidad, Benguet. She immediately returned to her studies and worked as a part-time reporter.
