What I will tell my younger self as I approach 30
We only have one life to spread so thinly and to find its true meaning. So here are some things I want to say to my younger self at 30.
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.

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 low despite of being one of the most important for urbanizing areas. Transportation is one of the most difficult to comprehend as it requires enough…
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…
Stop blaming “government”

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.
