Things were meant to be special the day I was born a king (January 6). As I wander the castles of opportunities, I have yet to find the perfect throne. Sooner than later, I suppose.

Filipino-Belgian is my race so I'll try to keep up the pace. Living in the Queen City of the South, I have a dream. A dream to survive and inspire. When I was 13 years old, I launched my first album entitled "For You". At 16, I launched "Christmas All These Years".

I have written eight novellas. The latest in June 2011 was entitled 'The Last Leaf', a series of romantic contradictions all in one. I attended the International Academy of Film and Television studying Acting, Screenwriting, and Directing to hone these skills.

I performed in musical plays such as 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and 'Godspell'.

In April of 2011, I graduated as Magna Cum Laude from Cebu Normal University, where I took up Bachelor of Arts in Communication.

I am a consistent Atheneum awardee. I received the 'Youth Leadership Excellence Award' from Hon. Francis N. Pangilinan, 'Medal of Excellence Award' from former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia, and the 'Kapisanan ng Mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas Award'.

I represented the Philippines in the 2007 East Asian Inter-Regional Tourism Forum (EATOF) held in South Korea in sharing Filipino culture and building interconnectedness between the South East Asian nations.

Together with five other Filipino delegates, I represented the Visayas in the Inaugural Asia Youth Summit 2011 held in New Delhi, India. Sponsored by the British Council, 60 social entrepreneurs, activists, and volunteers from over 21 countries were selected as Global Changemakers.

Sound a lot? I am just one of those people who represent a large sector of our nation to lead, to step up, to be heard. I strive to become a mix between a performer and a youth advocate.

I was employed at the Sales Department of Toyota, Inc. as a Marketing Professional.

After 3 years as pioneer Marketing Officer of SM City Consolacion in Cebu, I am now Marketing Manager of a beautiful team.
