.
That summarizes my professional side, but on the other hand, I like spontaneous trips, long drives, sunbaking and the outdoors. I have been to 28 out of 81 provinces of the Philippines. Though I haven't tried traveling alone, I like to meet people from different places and learn their culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During workshop in Viet Nam, which is my first time to be out of the country,. I presented the output collaborated by people from different ASEAN member states which are my groupmates. Being able to speak in front of higly respected people lifted up my spirit know the fact that I was recommended by them and I gained friends from the ASEAN Secretariat in Indonesia. That was the best fulfillment in my life to date.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to speak Filipino, and share the culture and values that we have especially the hospitality and the value for respect. I am also open on learning different languages straight from people I'll be meeting in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my sense of humor, and long conversation over a cup of coffee or maybe beer. Long walks where I will never get tired and as a Filipino courtesy, our value of helping people whom we'll be sleeping with with chores. I can also share my ideas related to my chosen field and teach them how to speak basic Filipino phrases.
