One of the hobbies that I have is playing guitar. I learned to play in 2021 because I want to explore things that I've never tried before. I watched guitar lessons online and learned them immediately. During our free time in class, we play guitar and sing together with my friends.

This is my first sport before chess. When I was in the 2nd grade, my parents were worried because I was too skinny back then and I lacked physical activities and as well as socialization. I rapidly grew my interest back then when my father introduced me to the world of basketball.

This photo was taken when I was part of the varsity team at my previous elementary school.

I started my interest in chess when my grandfather introduced this sport to me when I was still in the 2nd Grade. At first, I was not interested at all because I always lost to my grandfather back then. Moving forward to 2020, that was a pandemic during that time and I was bored at our house. My favorite sport at that time was basketball but since it was a pandemic, I could not play with my friends outside. There comes when my grandfather introduced me to chess again, at that time I was interested already because of online chess. Since then, I gradually improved myself to become the chess player that I am today. I am forever grateful to my grandfather if it were not for him, I would not be like this today.

This photo was taken during round 4 of the 2024 DACS Chess Tournament.

Because of this movie, I'm more inspired to be a better chess player.

This movie taught me that you should follow your dreams. And if you are a parent, you should dictate your children's decision to achieve what you want for them. Let them decide because it is their life. Pressuring your children can only lead them to a miserable life or possible, they may rebel from you.

This movie taught me how religion influences people. Following those "False Gods" can put your life at risk.

Every time I looked for a comedy movie, I always looked at his movie. For me, this is the best movie that he had.

This movie taught me to always prioritize my academics first before sports even though you are a student-athelete. Because if you finish school, you will have a higher chance of a bright future.

Since elementary, math has been my favorite subject. I love to memorize formulae, solve harder problems, and calculate numbers in my mind (Mental Math). I joined many math competitions including the sudoku competition when I was in the 7th grade. My love for math grew when I was in the 10th grade. Since then, I always study advanced math topics, such as calculus, trigonometry, and some advanced algebra.

This chess book helped me to become a better chess player because this book contains the games of legendary chess players, although some of them are theoreticians. Their games involve dynamic play, positional play, and how can you take advantage of your opponent.

I love this book because it talks about his immortal games which makes me not forget his games. His playing style was so dynamic and sharp to the point that his opponent could be so defensive due to his attacking prowess that could destroy his enemy's king immediately. If you are a chess player and you want to read this book, I would love to recommend it for you.

This media will only be healthy if we use it correctly or in moderation. I make sure that the time I spend on social media does not reach beyond the limit. Furthermore, this media will only be healthy if we are media information literate. Being media information literate can help us to become a good media user or even digital media user.

Even before I studied at Ateneo de Davao University, I always dreamed of studying there since I was an elementary kid. Every time I saw the school or even met strangers that come from Ateneo, I'm always amazed. Moving forward, when I'm deciding on where I will be continuing my senior high school, I immediately chose Ateneo since that was my dream school. Now that I'm here at Ateneo, I'm giving thanks to my parents for supporting, caring, and guiding me on my path. They made my dream a reality. And now, it's my turn to bring back will the sacrifices that they have made for me.
