You don’t always have to be the best to make a significant existence. Sometimes, you just have to be willing to try, learn, and keep going.
Maybe it was during this speaking engagement that I fully realized how far I’ve come. At my young age in the industry, I feel incredibly blessed to have experienced this kind of platform—𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘰-𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘯𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢.
God has given me opportunities that I now choose to use to give back to the community—to share my experiences, lessons, and learnings especially with the younger generation. I was once like them too, searching and looking for answers.
Thank you, UAPSA - UPHSL Chapter especially to Ar. Leanjoy Rebusa for inviting me to be part of your General Assembly and Chapter Induction Ceremony.
It was truly a great pleasure and privilege to have the opportunity to speak with young and future architects. I hope that in my own little way, I was able to share something that may guide, inspire, or remind them that their journey does not have to be perfect to be significant.
Muli’t muli, para sa komunidad ng arkitektura.
Para sa Sining at Arkitektong Pilipino!
