Two years and counting
I am very happy that despite the schedule, this website is kept alive. Feel free to read about my adventures and my thoughts.
Why I am in Australia at the moment
I have a lot of aspirations to what I will become but ultimately, an unseen being or the universe also has plans for us for as long as we persevere. I am in Sydney, studying at the world’s top 20 university, the University of Sydney, for my postgraduate studies.
Downtown Iloilo City Mobile Phone HD Wallpapers
As I came across the internet, I noticed that many of the beautiful cityscape wallpaper photos are mostly foreign. I barely even see photos of a city in the Philippines.

Why is the Peso getting weaker? (For the common tao)
OFWs may rejoice at first with the exchange rates getting more pesos for each dollar or whatever currency for that matter. However, it is only the tip of the iceberg.…
2023, where the truth can’t set you free
If anybody thought that everything on the internet was true, they should be banished. It can be drastic and harsh but apparently, the lack of sufficient judgment has already plagued humanity.
Reflections on Ungka Flyover
I am currently building up my experience in transportation engineering. This specialization is not as lucrative as construction, though. It does not pay much. Demand for transportation experts is quite…
Streets for Life: Where are we heading?
#Love30 trended over social media the past week as the celebration came by from 17th to 23rd. On a very wide and diverse Filipino context, when you talk to certain…
A Design Hotel Not To Miss in Baguio
G1 Lodge is not your typical hotel in Baguio. It is an entire ecosystem where you can recharge. The cold weather plus their earthy feel makes the experience unforgettable. You can just stay there all day, to be honest.

Priority Work Areas
Road Safety
Road crashes kill a lot of people each year and as an engineer who has extensive experience in road safety, it has been my dream to have safer roads for all road users – the vehicle-users, pedestrians, roadside-users, among others.
Tech Literacy
As technology evolves, some people especially the poor and the elderly do not have the luxury of learning and adjusting to the digital life, where payments and government transactions go online. It is our mission to help them out.
Social Equity
Not all of us are born with opportunities. The world can only become a better place if we make sure that society isn’t unfair for everyone. The world can be, but society has a choice. This generation can help reduce the gap.
