VOLUNTARY WORK AND SIDE JOBS

• Church Community

1. I joined the Catholic Youth Community, Luke 18, in 2013. During my time as an active member, I was chosen as a leader for weekend retreats, where new members (candidates) are welcomed into the community. These weekends occur at least twice a year and involve team-building activities to help teamers (leaders) prepare for the event. My role included leading candidate groups and writing talks. I served as a teamer for Luke 18 four times from 2014 to 2024. In my spare time, I mentored and supported younger community members in their faith.

2. In 2016, I joined another Catholic youth Community called Antioch which was a lot like Luke 18 but for older people. I teamed twice and as of now, I am still an active member. Like in Luke 18, I also mentor younger members during my spare time.

• Volunteer Work

I volunteered as a cameraman, recorder, and record keeper for a friend's thesis on illegal dynamite fishing and mangrove protection in Western Visayas. We interviewed community representatives and provided relief goods, partnering with the NGO Sikat, which supports marginalized communities facing environmental issues. We also spoke with Local Government Unit representatives and experts on sustainable education to study the causes of mangrove and coral reef loss.
