A path written by
curiosity & courage

Growing up on Siargao Island — long before the world discovered its waves — I learned early that life rewards people willing to move toward the unfamiliar. That instinct carried me from island shores to Manila's hotels, across the Middle East, and eventually to Cebu, the city I now call home.

My path has never been straight, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I started in civil engineering at Xavier University, pivoted to computer systems at AMA, then spent four years overseas in Muscat, Oman and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Living abroad taught me resilience, cultural fluency, and the quiet art of connecting with people from vastly different worlds.

I returned to the Philippines in 2012 and chose Cebu. Went back to school — earned my BS Business Administration from University of San Jose-Recoletos while working full-time in BPO. In 2015, I stepped into real estate. I never looked back.

Today, more than a decade in, I work as a Accredited real estate advisor. I study behavioral psychology the same way I approach the gym: as practice, not theory. I don't believe in pressure. I believe in understanding people, earning trust, and guiding decisions with clarity.

Siargao, where the story starts. The island taught me to move toward what I don't yet understand.

Seven places that built this work

Two ways I show up — one principle underneath.

Whether I'm guiding a client through a purchase or teaching on social media, the thread is the same. I meet people where they are, teach what I know, and help them make decisions they won't regret.

Local knowledge. Global perspective.

Cebu is home — and my working ground. From IT Park condos to North Cebu townships, from Mactan beachfront to highland residences, I know the submarkets, the inventory, and the pitfalls that don't show up in a brochure.

For OFW clients especially, I know how the decision feels — because I was one of you once. That shapes every conversation.

What keeps the engine running

01

Mind Science

Self-taught in behavioral psychology and subconscious programming, intermittent fasting, and clean keto nutrition. I read the way some people watch TV — and I apply what works to how I sell, write, train, and live.

Shelves I live on Carnegie · Covey · Manson · Robbins · Napoleon Hill · James Clear · Kiyosaki · DeMarco · Cialdini · Seth Godin · Gary Vaynerchuk
02

Fasting & Meditation

Intermittent fasting since 2015 — before it was trending. Daily meditation. I treat the body as the first discipline. Everything else builds on top.

03

Boxing

The gym is my laboratory. Everything I read about focus, patience, and handling rejection — I test it in the ring. The ring doesn't lie.

04

Mobile Filmmaking

Cinematic stories shot with nothing but a phone. Proof that creativity isn't a gear problem — it's a vision problem.

The OFW Condo Checklist — 12 questions to ask before you sign.

The honest list I wish someone had given me. What pre-selling contracts don't spell out, what the fine print leaves vague, and what actually protects your money.

No spam. One email when you sign up, occasional notes when I have something worth sharing.

If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
