BLACK LIVES MATTER This is the Tagalog version of the open letter created by Letters for Black Lives, an ongoing project for people to create and translate resources on anti-Blackness for their communities in solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter. The letter was written and translated collaboratively by hundreds of people who want to have honest and respectful conversations with their parents about an issue important to them #blackouttuesday #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CA9AzzTpQjN/?igshid=na4jb8usa2x3

Stepping out of my comfort zone to bring @bread.and.flower to you all.

I’ll also be featuring and offering some life tips on how I “balance” it all 🥴😝. Looking forward to engaging with you all in this new page.

#TravelTuesday Diary | Facebook memories reminded me today about our first trip to @bigbendnps two years ago and remembered that I never got to post my impromptu 4th of July trip to the park last summer with @lucvzs and @itsgabeleal . We hiked the South Rim Trails for 8 hours, drove down Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, visited Marfa, Texas and other small Texas cities. Glamp in a cabin right outside of the park and finally got to see the Milky Way 💫 #latergram (at Big Bend National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TgtlcJ_I8/?igshid=1l8uwnlynxt2m

🌟Merry Christmas Y’all l Maligayang Pasko🌟 Tonight, we feast with Noche Buena to celebrate the holidays. With your donations, we were able to provide meals for 150 families and gifted 182 children. My heart is so full of gratitude from your generosity. But we are not done yet! We would like to continue outreach to other severely damaged areas of the town so once again, I would like to ask for your help to continue this mission. Please message me directly on how to easily donate. | I’d like to shoutout @flori_zel, @blazingdiana and @lhing_ai for coordinating and heading the outreach on December 21st. They are the true warriors and deserves all the praises for their dedication to the community. #cagayanvalley #sanchezmira #phillipines (at Minanga, Cagayan, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6diM1VJ2xT/?igshid=1fc99xitsfh21

A different kind of vacation update for y'all! During our flight back to the Philippines a little over a week ago, my hometown of Sanchez Mira experienced its worst flooding in history. It occurred in the middle of the night while many were fast asleep. Unbeknownst to many, the town was getting submerged in both ocean and river water. Some were able to flee to higher grounds or neighbors with higher floors but many were stranded and had to be rescued. Many homes, bridges, and livelihoods were destroyed during this unprecedented flash flooding. Many are still struggling to find basic needs such as water, food, and clothing. In this post are some pictures of the damages after the water has started receding. Up to this day, the rain hasn't let on. SO, I have partnered up with Rural Health Unit Sanchez Mira with the help of Mrs. Florizel Tambio to help raise funds for those affected by the flooding. In the spirit of the upcoming holidays, I would like to ask for your help to bring a little bit of joy and hope to these residents especially to the ones that have lost their homes, livelihood and are still stranded in the more remote areas of the town. To ease the donation process, Rural Health Unit Sanchez Mira has agreed to make me a liaison for accepting donations on their behalf. Then, Mrs. Florizel Tambio will spearhead the distribution of goods and services locally to ensure that all donations are actually received by the affected residents. TO MAKE A DONATION, PLEASE MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY SO I CAN GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS. The easiest way to donate is through Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. I know you read this a lot, but any amount does go a long way in these parts of the country. Thank you all for reading this far and thank you in advance for helping my people have a merrier holiday season.

Happy Monday y’all! Starting this week full of gratitude. Last Saturday, 200+ guests attended the SOLD OUT @gentrifiedseries Premiere Night. Thanks to @corlond, the staff at @thenorthdoor, and to all our sponsors, we made @itstiawilliams vision come to life! If you haven’t read @itstiawilliams leap of faith to create @gentrifiedseries, head over to her profile because she’s a true #bossbabe and an inspiration | Adding this premiere night to @collectivecongress repertoire was a challenge I was not entirely prepared for. When we got started with the planning, I was juggling an intensive certification class, managing 2 startups, a full time job, a part time job and responsibilities at home. But when you’re enjoying what you’re doing and you’re growing from each failure and rejection you receive, you get a clarity of your purpose and your priorities will somehow align themselves to push you to success. This year have shown me a glimpse of what I can do, what it will take, where I’m heading and most importantly, the confidence in myself that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. | For now, watch @mukthid, @k3ndl3 and I take @collectivecongress to the next level 🙌🏼 #grateful #atx (at The North Door) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lk1TQAusM/?igshid=1jqk4wo3j6n00

Almost felt insecure to post this because of my eye wrinkles and eye bags. ‘Ughh I’m starting to look my age’ but then I remembered that with aging comes more wisdom, knowledge and growth. My face might not be as youthful but my mind, determination and willpower to do greater things have never been so real.
