I am Blanche (and yes, my first name is almost identical with my surname), currently taking up my master's degree in Philosophy at the University of San Carlos. Primarily, I see myself as an academic and would want to pursue academic opportunities in the future, especially on research and teaching. My research interests include feminist theory, applied philosophy, and the philosophies of Simone de Beauvoir, Emmanuel Levinas, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. I am also passionate about natural holistic health and promoting veganism to save people, animals, and Mother Earth.
