Ever since, I've always dreampt of becoming a DJ & Radio Broadcaster. Fate, however, might have had redirected my career path [for a deeper meaning of life, who knows?], but to do what I passionately love to do would never fade --bringing inspiration to people especially the youth through my humble voice and words. I've been hosting events including my favorite --weddings, for years now, a passion which started when I first held a microphone as the Master of Ceremonies during our Seniors Ball, equivalent to JS Prom, in high school. I give inspirational talks to a crowd and provide academic tutorial --an act of service to invest in a worldview of motivation to help, in a way, nurture the young minds. I am a Haircare Specialist and Make-Up Artist on the side. Nevertheless, I worked as a Marketing Professional for various firms few years before I decided to go on my own.
Do you have in mind the exact date of your event already? Tara, let's talk and finalize on the concept. We'll make your celebration truly fun & memorable, promise!
Thank you for believing in my humble crafts & God bless. Good luck!
At your service,
Inspirational Speaker

I may never be a perfect person to speak, but failin' a hundred times made me learn all these. Life is meant to be liven worthily and happiness is its bottomline.
Stayin' happy? Simply accept our imperfections and embrace realities. Remove all the insecurities in our veins and focus on our bein' us. Allow positivity to come in and avoid negativity. Never mind other people's lives, it's none of our business anyway. Don't trust backbiters as the world is full of plastics, or else we'll just get betrayed. Get rid of those unhappy especially when they can never be happy seein' you happy. Cherish every moment and make each day a great memory. Sleep well. Stay inlove. Hahaha!

ROB aims to inspire people especially the Filipino Youth through the things he loves doing called passion(s) --encouraging them to do their craft(s) with total quality & excellence and for them to be an inspiration to others, too.
He believes in the idea that one should not be sad and creeping, but rather could be the happiest person in the world simply by doing his/her passion(s) in life.
Passion, according to Rob, is something that you love to do more than anything or anyone else. It is what makes you keep going, happy, and fulfilled as you become capable of creating a living in a way.
ROB graduated 3rd Honorable Mention in Elementary, SALUTATORIAN in High School, and finished Journalism (2003) and Computer Engineering (2006) at then International Correspondence School (ICS) now Penn Foster,
a global self-pace distance learning institution headquartered in Pennsylvania, USA. To advance in his fields of specialization & interest, Rob successfully completed his 300-hour Radio Broadcasting Apprenticeship and Broadcast Media Internship at 2 prestigious FM stations in the country; underwent different trainings & seminars such as on Personality Development, Managing A Business, Social Events, Wedding Planning & Coordination, Strategic Sales & Marketing, and Facial & Hair Care and Make-up Artistry. He worked as a Marketing Specialist at various firms years before he finally decided to go on his own in his very desire to maximize and to make use of the talents & skills God has given him.
The youngest in an 8-sibling-family, he takes pride in his parents being so responsible and loving despite having less in life.
ROB says, "Failure and mistakes are never a hindrance or obstacle to becoming someone else. They, instead, are the golden stepping stones for you to eventually get to the peak. Failures and mistakes happen for a reason. They teach you to become the BEST YOU."
He might have lost a lot of opportunities, and might regret for the many things he has not done, but ROB is so much thankful for everything he considers life-changing experiences and great lessons of character & faith...because these all taught him HUMILITY, made him know himself better, and made him become closer to God.
Ambitious and dreamer as he describes himself, ROB continues to ambitiously dream big dreams with all HUMILITY in his heart, because, for him, "you only live once" and so make the most out of it.
[An achievement we consider as something that's more than a bag of diamonds is always worth treasuring no matter how useless it may seem. I'll never get tired of taking care of those things by keeping them safe in a toolbox of memories because they are a summary of the many versions of my life stories that always remind me of passion, faith, and humility. And this very humble achievement, humble beginnings, humbling back story of mine is what I want to share with you all --the very reason why I am here standing infront of you today.
Confucius said, "Our greatest glory is not in never-failing, but in rising every time we FAIL." Albert Einstein said, "Anyone who has never made a MISTAKE has never tried anything new." And, Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Ambitious...#Dreamer....#HampasLupa...'yan ako tulad ng sinasabi sa'kin ng iba. That maybe true, or maybe not. Ambitious, yes, because my ultimate goal is to become rich --rich at heart and in faith, and secondarily, I may say, in terms of physical wealth. Dreamer, because I believe that to dream is free and taxfree and is anyone's most basic human right. #HampasLupa sapagkat wala man akong maipagmamalaki --I am nothing, I have nothing, and I own nothing, but what I take pride in is a rich heart that others can have to talk with.
At age of fifteen, after graduation in high school (Class Salutatorian), I first experienced to be fully away from my parents. I was sent to a catholic university, a school that was not my choice. My only preference was a state (polytechnic) university in the metro, thinking of a quality yet affordable education. I took up Mass Communication, a course equivalent to what I had in mind specifically --Broadcast Journalism. Everything went smooth at first. I learned to love the people, their culture, and the weather or climate there, most especially. Inspite of all this, I was not totally happy. Why? Because I didn't really like the school. After a year, without any second thought, I decisively made up my mind to transfer to another university where I knew I best belonged to. I continued the same program. I became the university publication's news editor. I actively participated in school organizations, won various tilts, and was a Dean's Lister of the College of Arts & Sciences after successfully completing the first semester.
Amidst academic excellence, the world seemed like it, never, was in favor of me. Things eventually turned blurred when my sister abroad announced that she was getting married. Sabi ni Nanay, "Tigil ka na muna. Hindi raw kakayanin ng Tatay mo. Pero, kung gusto mo lilipat ka na lang ulit, sa mas murang school." Kaba at lungkot na may halong pagkadismaya ang aking naramdaman. I didn't know what to do then but to just agree with my mother. No option, I had to move in to another university for the third time. I shifted to Fine Arts as a result of being swayed by a very popular TV commercial during that year which goes --Dad, nag-shift nako sa Fine Arts... plus my fondness in arts & design --creativity. Comfortably, I carried it on. I was an entrance scholar. I was elected Class President. Fine Arts was an expensive course. Expensive, so to speak, because a student had to have much or an extra money always inorder to be able to buy materials needed for artworks in almost all subjects everyday. Academically, I, doubtlessly, performed stunningly well. Yet, as if fate wasn't good enough to me. I was not permitted to take the final exams during the second semester due to my clearances unsigned. [The rest is history.]
I felt lost. I felt like I was worthless and a waste already.
A messy journey went on...and on...and on. Everything became so terribly complicated. Everything became a weak-kneeing challenge for me. I felt so confused. I became 'rebellious' in a way. Ambitions were all an epic fail. Dreams temporarily halted. And so I decided to just stow away. I went by to the city.
A chaotic journey went on...and on...and on. I worked in the office (from being a Marketing Assistant at a marketing services firm in Manila to Sales & Marketing Assistant at a printing press in Greenhills to Marketing Officer at a machine industries import-export company in Ortigas Center to Marketing Secretary at an import-export manangement systems enterprise in Makati to Marketing Officer at an events & advertising agency to Sales & Marketing Head at a computer & I.T. solutions firm in Manila).
While working during my prior years in the metro, I thought of going back to school. But how? Things, I must admit, were very difficult for me because I was living all alone, totally independent, and paying bills out of my insufficiently low 15-30 salary. But, I stood firm. I swallowed my pride. I took on the many challenges positively. I told myself: Kaya mo yan. Don't quit. This is just the start, a single page of the many chapters in your life, a long way to go. Do what you still can do. It's never too late to begin.
Hence, I had to utilize whatever available resources there were for me.
A dramatic journey went on...and on...and on.
Life has something great to offer always --HOPE. Yes, there's hope as long as you believe in yourself, 'long as you have the determination to achieve.
Working while studying maybe one of the hardest things to do. As the best decision I made and the best option I chose, I enrolled at an international distance learning school which offers an at-your-own-pace education system. This paved the way for me to obtain my much-needed credentials with my thinking of being able to leap from one step up to the other --2 diplomas in 4 very patient years --ICS Journalism (2003) and ICS Computer Engineering (2006). And that is one thing I can always be proud of, despite all. Sabi ko nga sa aking sarili, mabuti na lang at naisipan kong gawin iyon. Dahil kung hindi, wala na sana akong ni isa or katiting na bala na maikakasa sa ngayon. I was inspired & motivated by a friend of mine who also studied at ICS and now an English Language Expert & Teacher in China.
After all, on the one hand, I should have nothing to regret, no one to blame because I could say I have achieved much. And the best achievements, I must say, are -- I've learned a lot, I've known myself better, and I've come closer to God. On the other hand, I should regret for the many little things I lost and hadn’t done because I believed those little opportunities could be the great ones.
Successful sila, yes they are. But, I'm not going to tell I am not. We are all successful, absolutely, in different ways. They are blessed, yes they are, and I feel so blessed too. If not for all the special gifts and blessings I was given, I've not come this far. In the end, it takes a lifetime effort to be called successful.
So, don't stop believing. Believe in yourself even when no one does. Listen to your heart. Follow your passions. Create the life you always wanted. Be fearless to try everything that can bring great impact onto your life. Be unafraid to invest in something that can last 'forever'. Be a 'legacy' in your own unique & significant ways.
God is good, indeed! The truth is, difficulties come along your way and mistakes do happen for a reason. But these same difficulties and mistakes are the ones teaching you how to overcome them, to just take them easy, and for you to become strong. In a movie titled You're Still The One, I was reminded of one thing --The best education is learning from your mistakes. Also a Radio Announcer & DJ, in her pieces of advice, emphasized, "You have to forget what you want inorder to recognize what you deserve." I agree. Allow God to guide you as you create a direction for your life. Hindi dahil gusto mo, go lang nang go. Don't rush. Take your time. Do things at a certain and careful pace. Remember, the slow but steady may have greater chances to win a race. Be patient to wait on God for your best and perfect turn. Not competing. Not comparing. Not complaining. Simply being unique & significant. Simply doing big things in your own small ways. You don't have to be like others inorder to make a difference. Sometimes, things don't turn out as planned, but definitely, they're going to take place completely perfect in God's own design.
Noon, ang paniniwala ko about happiness was having it all, getting what you want, tasting it as you crave. But I was wrong. I realized, life doesn't need to be perfect inorder to be happy. Happiness comes after contentment and humility. Remember, being appreciative of the little things is being appreciative of the big ones. However, that does not mean you stop improving yourself. Keep going. Life is an everyday innovation.
As I ponder, I was brought by God to where I best belong. He gave me what I best deserve. I believe that my fighting spirit has led me to a door of more amazing and more rewarding life's opportunities with a mission that I hold dear to my heart --INSPIRING PEOPLE! Inisip ko as I connected the dots, it all happened to me really for a reason --inorder for me to be able to learn many things. And these humble and humbling lessons learned --making me equipped for something, have become my best source of raw 'hugot' and pieces of inspiration, pieces of motivational talks at the same time, that I can readily share with you all, with anyone else. Those lessons I learned have made me become what I am now – passionately doing what I love doing!
Oh well, aking inihahambing ang aking sarili sa isang bungangkahoy o prutas na sa una'y hilaw at sa kalaunan ay nagiging hinog din.
Bottomline, I had countless experiences in life. Ang hirap sa totoo lang. But, no matter how hard it was, I didn't quit, never gave up. I believed, kept the faith. That's why I am still here standing –standing firm, now ready to soar higher. Life is too short not to live it at its fullest. Sabi nga nila, live life like everyday is the last. 'Wag ka nang mag-atubili at manghinayang pa na gawin lahat ng best mo ngayon --as in NOW na!
Let me end this talk with some of my favorite hugot lines: Turn your hesitations into excitement. Stand ready to always vie for flying colors. Don't be afraid to take risks. Be willing to fail, to learn. Try it. Do it. When you fail, pick yourself up, stand up with confidence. Learn a lesson from it and take a chance to level up every time. Remember, without trials, struggles, and hardships, success is nothing but undermined. Maximize TODAY for YESTERDAY has no rewinds, only flashbacks that can't happen the same way again. Desire a happy TOMORROW! Billy Graham says, "The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith." Put God first. Live, love, pray, smile.]
