My best friend is the guitar. I generally take my guitar at siesta time and enjoy spending time with my kids jamming. Growing veggies in the backyard and making homemade decorations are two more things I enjoy doing.

I'm really proud of myself for being able to support myself financially at the age of 14. I work as an assistant at the auto repair shop owned by my grandmother's brother. I'm happy that my career advancement has been facilitated by gradually gaining an understanding of the duties and obligations of a mechanic. I completed my high school education at Saint Anthony's Academy in Tuburan, Cebu, at the age of 23.

Considering I am a self-provider, it is nearly impossible for me to achieve my goals and dreams. But I'm committed to being successful. I have to persevere through all of my challenges. It greatly pushed me to work hard and accomplish my objectives. As of right now, I can say that the challenges and hardships I encountered as a teenager have made me a stronger and more resilient person.

Getting a college degree is something I've always wanted. In addition, my goal is to enable my children to pursue their dreams of attending college without following in my footsteps. I'll be their responsible and encouraging father.

With the kind of life I had, I learned that it does not matter how slowly I go, as long as I do not stop.

My family, my wife, and my children are my greatest influences and aspirations in life. I am lucky enough to have them.
