This is a world cafe talk with resource speakers representing single, married, and clerical / ordained life. This is my way of helping the participants discern which state of life they are called to be a more loving person.

This is a photo that symbolizes my love for service through student organizations. Instead of simply keeping my insights to myself, I am called to do the more loving option by sharing my gifts with our org's members who may need our guidance in terms of student life (be it academics-wise of org-wise).

This is an illustration I made in fulfillment of my org's reapplication requirements. Art is how I show my feelings, clarify my intentions for the future, and support others who need to share future opportunities or commemorate memories (org deliverables, couple commissions). I want to help make others feel more visible ('seen') as well through conversations, and through my creative abilities.

This photo is my latest f2f meeting with my orgmates. It symbolizes our genuine friendship and years of growing together. As a (hopefully) graduating member, the more loving option is for me to be present as I help transition the younger members to assume their own leadership roles. I take joy in hearing their experiences and sharing the wisdom of my own.

This is Rio, my dog that I rescued 2 years ago :) I use him to symbolize my love and passion for helping animals in need. I want to use my talents and skills in my current career path to spread awareness and ignite passion in people about animal wellfare

This picture is from three years ago, and it symbolizes how something that I thought of a past-time before became one of my best decisions. I realized that you don't just win with an award when it comes to journalism, you already won if you learned new concepts and start to apply them when telling a news story. I realized how information should be treated with care through this, and that it isn't something that should be easily tainted through falsification of events. Thus, I am called to do the more loving option by sharing what I know to help others avoid misinformation and to some extent, even make information much more accessible than now with the help of technology.

This is a photo that symbolizes the first time I was a true leader for my team. This was my last year in high school and we ended up winning the southern state championship. I felt so happy not just for winning, but I felt joy knowing that my teammates were able to feel this feeling as well. It was a type of happiness that felt the very best. We all loved one another as well as all the coaches and parents. Everyone wanted eachother to succeed. I think that is what made it special and it opened my eyes to why I love the game of basketball so much. It evokes these types of emotions out of me.

This is one of the pictures I took while walking and reflecting that I have always felt strongly about. I do not know why the tree, a very healthy and wide one even, grew up only to bend completely back to the ground. The surrounding was not tight nor restrictive, in fact, it was free to do whatever it wanted yet it chose to grow this way. This area was an area of diversity with blooming wildlife because of the shelter and intricate system the tree made. I am oddly inspired by how the world around me lives and dances with and for each other.

This is a photo of me in Taiwan during the CNY, right before the pandemic. Growing up as a dual-citizen, I try to spend my time equally in the Philippines and in Taiwan. While I spent more time in this country, having studied here, I have always preferred my stay in Taiwan. The quality of life here seemed to never improve and I felt more drained everyday. A part of me started hating this country. So when the pandemic happened, I wanted to return to Taipei but I was unable to. I felt angry and frustrated, I didn't get why I had to stay locked up here when I could be enjoying my time with family there. I didn't see the bigger plan that was in store for me.

2.5 years later, I've now realized why. It was to reacquaint myself with this country. I am called to do the more loving option of learning how to fall in love again with the Philippines, its rich culture, and its people, instead of holding anger in my heart.

This photo shows that I love interacting with people and working with them. In this photo, we had an outreach program.

In joining the ACMG org, I hope to participate more in masses at the Gesu especially in sharing my gifts to others, such as through singing in the choir. In this way, I hope to not only have a more committed disposition towards my faith in God, but I also hope to invite others, such as my family and friends, to also partake in masses as one, united community, as well.

This a photo that resembles my passion and love for our farmers, our local piggery farmers to be more specific. Over the pandemic, I found this particular passion by being able to have conversations and sharing stories with how they simply lived their lives. I am moved by how there are people like them that we tend to overlook in our society.
As someone that is passionate about food, I found a place with these piggery farmers wherein I can be able to fully utilize my calling in order to share their stories and how important they are in our food cycle. Everytime, it just makes me happy to see that I share a space with them, and it also challenges me more to discover more and hear more stories beyond the farmers that I just interact with given the opportunity.

This photo is from a geography bowl in 2017 I volunteered at. The bowl was made to be a review for the freshmen's exam the week after. The photo shows one of the moments I realized I might want to teach in the future because I'd want to make learning fun for students the similar to how this geography teacher (and many others) did for me.

This is a photo taken from one of the organizational projects I co-headed earlier this year, which aimed to spread awareness that would help the general public. This required much time, effort, and planning, and at times, it felt like we wanted to forego the entire project to lessen the stress on our shoulders. Despite this, we continued on, keeping in mind our goal of helping others grow and learn so that they may help others in turn as well. Despite the definite challenges that will come in the future, especially in my decision to pursue medicine, I plan to continue to do projects like these where I can share my gifts and abilities to help others as the more loving option.

Here in the Philippines, we have a common question, “Kumain ka na ba?” We often use this question to ask and determine if our family or friends are fed and nourished. Personally, it becomes an avenue for me to show my love to others by asking about their well-being and ensuring that they are indeed taken care of. With that, I hope to not only extend this idea of love through food with my family and friends; instead, I also hope to do so to others through the soup kitchens I participate in.

I think that being able to love and do it is one of biggest blessings one can attain. In this life, I am to be more accepting and loving of the things I am blessed with and with what I want to achieve.

This is a photo of my first onsite org meeting for our org's flagship project (food trip vlog series) which I am spearheading. It shows my passion for content creation/ entertainment, food, and storytelling. The loving option for me comes in as I now take on a mentor/ full leadership role in this project, a role which I admittedly feared to finally take on, but was a necessary action for the growth of the organization's content creation project and members as I now share and guide aspiring food content creators with my experience making content for our organization since my first year.

Recently I've been having conflicts with some people, and I feel very hurt and angry over some of the stresses I've been facing. One day, I decided to take a walk around campus to relax my mind and be somewhat productive after feeling demotivated to even leave my room. This way, I felt it's the more loving option for myself and even those I had conflict with for me to face issues with a calm and clear mind.
