On the 11^th of February he was invited by the APC’s ERC Office as a speaker and share his experiences in his field of career and passion.

He first stated that he’s not used to sharing his life to other people like it was much easier for him to be someone else and impersonate other people, but still he shared his life to the students that are taking up the English term.

He started sharing about his life as a newbie in the acting industry, he mentioned that he was working while studying going to comedy bars to work and do his passion. He finished BS Economics in the University of the Philippines Diliman he then admitted it was just luck that made him passed his bachelor’s degree, project come along and he told that economics is far from acting and impersonating but he was he was still able to use his educational background when it comes to many and his salary. After his long talk about his life as a newbie he then shared his personal life, how he met his husband how his parents reacted when he said he was gay, he said it in the way people would laugh I know deep inside it means a lot to him.

He shared some “Words of Wisdom” to the students and said, when it comes to taking up your course you should really decide what you want in life, it is something that really matters and your decisions can affect your whole future.

Being able to know his life is a recognition for me because he made me realize things that should be mattering at the moment. Throughout his whole talk people are just laughing and just enjoyed every second of his talk. I commend him for being such a good person, role model to student like us.
