Before becoming a lawyer, I trained to become a priest—and my time in the seminary shaped how I approach law. The Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or caring for the whole person, has influenced how I engage with clients and their legal challenges. What drives me the most is helping them succeed, especially in guiding them through opportunities in the Philippines. I believe in transparency and building trust, both within my team and with clients. Today, my roles as Country Legal of GVA TNY Consulting Philippines and Legal Counsel of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting allow me to continuously grow as a lawyer.
