Last October 13, 2017, I successfully conducted “How To Start A Business” seminar today with side topics on Entrepreneurial Mindsetting, RA 9178 or BMBE Law, RA 10644 or Go Negosyo Act, and P3 Microfinancing Program to aspiring entrepreneurs as part of the “Trabaho, Negosyo, Kabuhayan Job and Business Fair” of the City Government of Panabo as it celebrates its 5th week-long Binulig Festival. Guiding potential entrepreneurs regarding their future business ventures. Talking about opportunities for entrepreneurs in DTI. :) Great thanks, PESO! :) Because I'm #NeverTooYoungToLead :) Endless thanks to the Local Government Unit of Panabo, Public Employment Service Office (PESO) and of course, Department of Trade and Industry - Davao Del Norte Provincial Office for the opportunity to share my knowledge for the benefit of our community.

From resource speaker to judge to banana eater, I successfully wore different hats today! I think I'm getting used to speaking publicly. Hehe. Last October 11, 2017, I represented Sir  Romeo L. Castanaga , DTI Davao del Norte Provincial Director and talked about the products and services of DTI, including RA 10644 or the Go Negosyo Act, RA 9178 or Barangay Micro Business Enterprise Law, Kapatid Mentor ME Program and P3 Microfinancing Program for the benefit of the people from the informal sectors, as they celebrate the Informal Sector’s Day . Laban, Mau! :) Later in the afternoon, became one of the judges for the Mr. and Ms. Negosyante 2017. Judges with the winner of Talent Showdown. Also, participated in the Ginanggang Festival and feasted on fresh and yummy banana barbecue as Panabo City celebrates its Fifth Binulig Festival this 2017! Delicious banana barbecue, locally called "ginanggang." Thank you, Public Employment Service Of...

In my life, never did I imagine that I will be able to join a community that embraces everyone unconditionally. I honestly have come to a point of thinking that people judge people, no matter what. That biased thought faded when I met the passionate people behind Virtualahan - a multi-awarded social enterprise situated here in Davao City. Family photo. :) Virtualahan is a social enterprise that works with people who have medical, physical, and mental disabilities as well as abled individuals. It provides an intensive digital skills training to help them start working as online service providers such as  data entry, writing, transcription, social media marketing and management, research, graphic designing, SEO, and web development. Virtualahan was coined from the words "Virtual" which means occurring or existing on computers or on the internet, and "Lahan" from the Filipino word "Eskwelahan" which means "school."   Currently, I vol...

Difficulty in waking up early on weekends is something millennials can all relate to. It's really a tough challenge. What makes it tougher, for me at least, is traveling approximately 30 kilometers daily to go to work. But what drives me to do all these stuff? It's my passion to serve the country and the Filipinos. And one way of showing my patriotism is helping the children, especially those who belong to minority groups. That's the very reason why I joined Project GypSEAS, and never did I think of regret joining it. Project GypSEAS is a sustainable development project that aims to help the Sama Dilaut (People of the Sea) Community in Rainbow Community, Matina Aplaya, Davao City, Philippines popularly known as Badjao Community to create an access to secure, empowered, and sustainable community through monthly programs on Health, Nutrition, and Sanitation, Livelihood, Food Security, Empowerment, Sports, Education and Environmental Protection. The year-long p...
